Doesnt the long subtitle of this column tell the story?
A new poll of New Hampshire voters released on Wednesday by CNN/WMUR found Senator Bernie Sanders leading former Secretary of State by a double digit margin of 50 percent to 40 percent.
Individual polls come and go but New Hampshire voters have a long and storied history of confounding experts, ignoring pundits and sending big and powerful messages that they want America to hear.
In a matter of weeks, New Hampshire voters will tell the nation they are fed up with bank ripoffs, Wall Street windfall profits, rising health care costs, stagnant wages, unfair economics, a perpetually rigged political system and media elites who are out of touch with the hopes and dreams of real Americans.
New Hampshire voters will prove their independence from the outside experts who tell them what to do, and will give Mr. Sanders a shocking victory that will be heard across the nationwhether the insiders and elites like it or not and they wont like it!
Following my last column criticizing Time for including Donald Trump and neglecting Bernie Sanders in its finalists for Person of the Year, I received a number of heartfelt emails from Sanders supporters thanking me for making their case. I greatly appreciated all of them, especially one from a woman named Sarah, who wrotecorrectlythat there is a media blackout against Mr. Sanders. I can only speak for myself, but I am one mainstream media columnist boycotting the blackout because Mr. Sanders and his supporters have important things to say that deserve to be heard.
Sanders supporters should be laughing at the way Person of the Year played out. First, Time took a pass on naming Mr. Trump as its person of the year and chose German Chancellor Angela Merkel instead. Then, Mr. Trump complained that Time was being unfair by not choosing him. Then Time, proving that not all juveniles are under age 18, retaliated by releasing a video of a bird that did not like Mr. Trumps hair.
While a magazine that used to be great jousted with the Republican frontrunner about the injustice of awarding prizes and the great issue of a bird not liking a hairstyle, Mr. Sandersthe conscience of the Democratic Partywas condemning the injustice of the death of one more black American by one more trigger-happy policeman in Chicago.
Yes, there is a media blackout of Mr. Sanders, but in the end, it doesnt matter...
