Nice CNN coverage of Bernie speech.. until he mentions the Transcripts.. (Original Post) DiehardLiberal Feb 2016 OP
Probably did him a favor. Hillary is talking unity and Bernie divides. riversedge Feb 2016 #1

...once she wins the nomination. Every other candidate is doing the same thing, so it won't be an issue in the GE. She is simply playing the game by the rules in place. In order to win in this climate, you need money. In order to get the money, you have to go where the money is. It is just the smart thing to do. The electorate just needs to look at the candidates records and stated interests and hope that the winner uses the power achieved to do things that are important to them.

Do I wish it was different? Of course, but this is not the year for a revolution. We have a successful Democratic president, so people are not mad enough. The Obama revolution followed W, so was much more successful.
