2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumChris Christie Just Raised Democrat Chances in 2016
No matter who runs as the Democratic candidate in the 2016 General election, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a potential Republican candidate himself, just moved the Democrats closer to the presidency. Christie said, Listen, first off, I thought that Elizabeth Warren wasnt running for president. But when I listened to Hillary yesterday, it sounds like liberal political consultants put together that speech. What this means is that both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have moved Clinton further to the left where the Democratic voters will be in 2016. Warren still claims she is not running but Bernie is hot on the trail and very close to being a highly competitive candidate to win the primary.In the MSNBC article Christie questions whether Hillary Clinton really understands the everyday issues Americans face. She doesn't listen to them and she never answers questions he claimed. In a recent interview with NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell, Bernie Sanders made the remark that he didn't understand how anyone could run for president without answering questions. Bernie thrives on making it known what he stands for by being responsive to the public and the press. The big difference here seems to be that Hillary Clinton is carefully orchestrating her campaign with limitations that sometime reflect negatively on the candidate. Bernie Sanders, on the other hand, says simply this is what I am, what I stand for and ask me if there is anything you don't understand. Then, he answers them.

(489 posts)Thanks for the correction. I thought it was the creation of a plain, old jerk (Dole).
McCarthy makes Dole look warm and fuzzy. That man was whacko and evil.

Don't let that extra syllable throw you, now; hang in there. You can make it all the way to the end of a four-syllable word...
