(19,326 posts)I missed this too .. surprising that no one posted an OP with it that went viral.
That was damn near a Biden endorsement IMHO.

(602 posts)At least one analyst is considering it:
"...the vice president carried the Democratic cause for many years in the Judiciary Committee; he has good friends from those years and the VP might have enough friends to secure the seat without rancorous debate over the vacancy takes the campaign down unpredictable paths."

Yes, there was the Anita Hill debacle, but he still voted against Thomas. And as Jeffrey Toobin once pointed out, 1) it probably wouldn't have made a difference in the court, a 2) he had already done the country a huge service in blocking Robert Bork.

(8,267 posts)I think that Bernie is speaking to a yearning that is deep and real--and he has credibility on it--and that is the absolute enormous concentration of wealth in a small group of people with the middle class now being able to be shown being left out. There used to be a basic bargain. If you contributed to the profitability of an enterprise, you got to share in the profit. That's been broken. Profitability is up. Wages are stagnant.
Historically, Hi11ary has NOT been talking about radical income inequity, nor has she lived like she "gets" how damaging and stultifying is radical income inequity.
Bernie is the real deal.
Also, the newest meme on social media is that Hi11ary is asking Bernie's supporters not to "abuse" her supporters. It's smacks of a Rovian continuation of the "Berniebro" garbage, and it's likely not getting the results her campaign intended.
