2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSanders, Clinton, and the Neoconning of the Democratic Party
"Has the Democratic party moved so far to the neoconnish right that red-baiting is now back in fashion in those circles? One would certainly think so if the latest Clinton-Sanders debate is any indication.
Ive covered the Republican presidential debates in this space while mostly neglecting the Democratic debates for the simple reason that foreign policy is apparently not something Bernie Sanders wants to emphasize. And, for some reason, the debate moderators have proved supremely uninterested in asking questions about the one issue a US President has virtually total power over. This time, however, it did come up, and what happened on that stage in Florida underscores the limited but very real differences between the Clintonian and Sanderista wings of the party. It also illustrates the weaknesses of Clintons position, if, as expected, she wins the nomination and goes into the general weaknesses that will only be manifested if shes up against Donald Trump instead of some routinely interventionist Republican."
This part shouldn't go unnoticed!
"Indeed, an entire wing of the neoconservative movement is now openly declaring that theyll support Clinton if Trump gets the Republican nomination. "
