Chris Matthews compares Bernie winning Nevada to France falling to the Nazis in 1940
Well, he did well here in 2016—and now he won it outright. In 2016, Hillary Clinton took the Nevada Caucus relatively early. In 2020, Sanders did the same, but it was a landslide win. The writing was on the wall. The Vermont democratic socialist just dominated the exit polls. He dominated with very liberal voters, took a good chunk of college-educated women—no one took an outright majority there—and ran the table with Hispanic voters. He appears to have received a healthy amount of support from union workers, specifically the key culinary workers union that has been in a nasty fight with the Sanders campaign over his Medicare for All proposal.

Reminds me of "Democrats for Nixon" in 1972 when McGovern, a far left candiate, won the Democratic Party nomination. Alabama Gov George C. Wallace was actually doing very well in the Democratic primaries early in that '72 campaign until another in a long line of "lone nut" perps tried to assassinate him, but disabled him and knocked him out of the race. --Ron W

DeleteYes, if you're going to war, it should be Constitutionally and Congressionally declared and then use whatever means necessary to win ASAP and gain an unconditional surrender! The abuse, maiming and killing of our troops there was despicably evil. Same in Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan. --Ron W
DeleteCorrect.
DeleteI think it was Gen Smedley Butler who said we should only go to war to defend our homes and the Bill of Rights. --Ron W
