Bernie's campaign doesn't even understand why voters are rejecting him. They are doubling down on

esoteric activist speak. This is the rhetoric to win over subcultures on the highly educated left, not how the average voter speaks or thinks.

primary today, I would vote for:

Do they really believe that alienating as many people and groups as possible is a winning strategy?

The beginning of the end started with his ludicrously-overconfident tweet around the time of the Nevada caucus saying that no one could stop him. Do you suppose anyone in the camp has any clue that that might have been a catalyst? Ramping up the attacks on Democrats and then doubling-down only made it worse.

“Racism and capitalism are two sides of the same coin.”

Right. If we just get rid of the billionaires there will be no more Trayvon Martins or Freddie Grays. Just one big kumbaya. It’s crazy talk.

Can’t say I’m shocked. Don’t think that would play the same in Jackson, Mississippi. But we will never know.
