Did New Hampshire voters really get something new?

I don't think so.

They voted for two white, aging, males who bluster their way through with very little specifics.

Really it's nothing new.

Funny thing to is they all think they voted against the establishment. Can't get much more establishment than what is described above.

Is Sanders white? Isn't he a secularist? boston bean Feb 2016 #21
Hillary's white too. And yes, he isn't religious - another "new" thing! Arazi Feb 2016 #22

Doesn't really seem to be moving the dial in big ways and has alienated a fair few women too.

The campaigns are about ideas and issues

I really like your posts on women's issues but there's so much more going on here than gender

that they are "establishment" - Hillary has often said she's not establishment because she's a woman.

Something "new" ie, a woman

It's how it came across to me

There is nothing similar between Sanders and tRump.

Sanders has a lot is specifics, just go to his site.

Sanders is a minority. He is of Jewish heritage. He is considered a minority group.

...who has no identity other than whichever way the wind blows her?

If you think the establishment is a gender, race, or age...you're really missing it.

needs to get her Goldman Sachs transcripts together for review by the voting public if she is the nominee. If you think Trump was over-the-top with Obama's birth certificate...He wasn't even RUNNING and that shit took off. Trump will keep pounding and pounding away until she either releases them or loses significant votes. Just my opinion; you may quote me later should it come to that,

The shtick is so very tired at this point.

I also loved how young women were left to twist this week by supposed feminists.

Angry week, it seems!

more than a little out there.

It oozes rancor and resentment as well as a stubborn refusal to look at reality. Because yes, there was a lot new there.

And sexist, and ageist, and missing what is actually happening by trying to dismiss the campaign as a fad.

Inviting for Bernie I didn't vote against anything. I voted for someone who I think represents something positive.

I don't know what went through the deluded, oxygen-starved brains of those who voted for trump.
