The Great and Powerful Oz has spoken!  (Feel the burn, Bern?)

SNIP of a Great Read

No, Dorothy, That Balloon Will NOT Take You Home!



If it had been a soccer match, Twitter might have exploded with tweets of “Own Goal!”   At theMSNBC/Telemundo Town Hall last night, Bernie Sanders scored one for Hillary Clinton’s incrementalism. 




After leading hordes of hopeful Millennials along the Yellow Brick Road for months nurturing a belief system rooted in cultural revolution and promised instant gratification, the man behind the curtain was forced into a corner where he had to admit that he has no magic powers and change takes time.



Much of the Millennial discontent with Hillary Clinton’s complex platform lies in their impatience with her steadfast stance that we should not sweep away accomplishments of the past seven years in favor of an improbable chance of replacing them wholesale in a magical moment of fantastical bipartisan cooperation.  No matter your age, mental or chronological, Hillary Clinton speaks to you as an adult to an adult.  Reasonably.

Many don't know it but Frank Baum based his story and characters on political shenanigans.
Bernie Sanders fits the great and powerful Oz (a conman) perfectly.
