Why is Hillary never referred to as a 68 year old capitalist?

[Senator Tankerbell]

Every time a journalist, whether on TV or in print, discusses Bernie Sanders, they will refer to him as a 74 year old democratic socialist. Why is he the only candidate in either party that is referred to that way?

1. Because being a capitalist is "normal" in the U.S.

It is assumed that a politician is a capitalist unless identified otherwise, because to be anything else in this country is considered deviant.

[Senator Tankerbell]

5. That's true. But why mention his age every time?

I don't notice them mentioning the ages of other candidates. I know he's the oldest but it still seems odd to mention it every time.

2. how many self-avowed socialists

do you know who hold public office in the US. That's a man bites dog thing. Being a capitalist is a dog bites man kind of thing.

3. Because its dumb and meaningless.

4. Hillary is not a capitalist

She is a corporatist -- and there is a huge difference. Capitalism, in and of itself, isn't necessarily bad. Corporate capitalism -- or corporatism is evil.
