2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe cold, hard truth: it's game over for Bernie Sanders
Its time for some cold hard truths in this presidential election.
Heres an ice cold one: winning a landslide victory in the mighty state of Vermont is not a foundation for success. Especially if Vermont has been your home since the Jurassic age of politics.
Heres another: if you hold a victory rally before most of the states have been called, youre not fooling anyone. When your victorious supporters have emptied the hall before the TV pundits have barely warmed up, youre actually throwing a consolation party.
Bernie Sanders has built his impressively insurgent campaign on the premise that hes a truth-teller. On Tuesday night, he repeated the commonplace belief that climate change is not a hoax (as many Republicans argue), and that the science is clear.
