Most of the polling ahead of Tuesday’s New Hampshire’s Democratic presidential primary shows Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the lead — but you might not know it, listening to the other candidates in recent days.
With hours to go before New Hampshire votes, the Democratic Socialist, who’s relied heavily (and successfully) on small-dollar fundraising, repeated his most straightforward line of attack against one of his more natural political foils.
“Our views are different,” the Vermont senator said Sunday. “Pete has raised campaign contributions from over 40 billionaires.”
It seems to me that Biden would be the best nominee for getting most diverse votes in the general and far better chance of Dems winning most of the vulnerable R Senate seats.
Sanders nomination makes that all go away. If he gets the nom, that just lets those vulnerable Senate Rs take a huge sigh of relief.
Bernie needs to attack the billionaires because of the policies they force upon the candidates, not simply because they are billionaires. Everyone wants to be a billionaire, so just dumping on all billionaires is not effective, imo. It just draws focus to the Bernie socialist problem.
Difference w/o a distinction. How do you think 40 billionaires even learned Pete’s name? Did they all take a road trip through South Bend while he was mayor?
“…a recent comment from Buttigieg that he was ‘exhausted by the current state of politics,’ which he said made him want to ‘switch it off and just watch cartoons or something’.”
