Explaining to primary voters that this reality awaits Democrats in November if they nominate Bernie might be more effective than pretending there is a Russian agent under every bed. In other words, the Democrat establishment would be better off not presuming its voters are stupid.
Even though polls have forecast the outcome for some time, the Democrat elite appeared to lose its mind over the resounding victory by Bernie Sanders in Saturday’s Nevada caucus. The outcome and stunning margin make Sanders the man to beat for the Democrat nomination.
Bernie won despite a half-baked effort by the Democrat establishment to tag him with its favorite and seemingly only smear: that he is a Russian asset.
One day before the Nevada caucus, the Washington Post alleged that the Russian government is attempting to help Bernie’s campaign, but cited only anonymous sources and provided no details. President Trump, who sits atop the U.S. intelligence bureaucracy, rejected the claim.
