"An Earthshaking Moment": Sanders Win Reveals Deep Divide Between Voters & Democratic Party Leaders

Published on Feb 10, 2016

http://democracynow.org - For response to Tuesday’s primary, we go to Manchester, New Hampshire, to speak with Arnie Arnesen, longtime radio and TV host in New Hampshire. She was the Democratic nominee for governor in 1992. Arnesen has known both Sanders and Clinton for about 25 years.

1. This is no longer a time

for establishment candidates.

[Uncle Joe]

You're on a roll, WillyT

7. Except he won a disproportionate share of votes from Independents,

not registered Democrats. They were just as likely to support Hillary.

12. They were just as likely to support Hillary.

and didn't.

[pnwmom]

14. Wrong. Registered Democrats were evenly divided, unlike DU.

16. Wrong. Registered Democrats were evenly divided, unlike DU.

What are you taking about?

We were discussing independents..... who didn't vote for Hillary. The antecedent of "they" is "independents". anyway that's the way I read it.
As usual, independents will make a difference.

[pnwmom]

17. There is nothing earthshaking about Independents being divided from the Democratic party.

That is the norm. Independents are by definition not part of the Democratic party.

18. Those are the people that win win in the general and...

Hillary is toast without them

[pnwmom]

19. And Bernie would be toast without very strong support

among African American voters.

White men and women both voted for Romney. Obama was able to overcome that because of his strong support among minorities.

No Democrat should take the votes of those communities for granted.

8. Listening to that interview and something Arnie Arnesen said about Hillary

and Bill from 1991 and I think it confirms that yes in a way,a very distinct way this is the the 2nd try for Hillary's
3rd term.

that was a great interview.
Thank You

9. Every paper and every local politico endorsed Hillary and it did ZIP.

[TTUBatfan2008]

10. Maybe even hurt...

Establishment telling the anti-Establishment voters how to think seems to be backfiring in both parties. Look at Jeb Bush/Marco Rubio/Chris Christie compared to Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

11. I believe this election is going to be a referendum on the 20th vs the 21st century.
