‘Nice little Democratic party you got there. It would be a shame if something happened to it.’
So Jonathan Martin, the NYTimes national political correspondent, intimates that Bernie won’t be satisfied with symbolic platform committee spots. He says Bernie wants a say in her presidential appointments.
When I heard this, I thought, not for the first time, that Bernie has become profoundly undemocratic. He truly believes his opinions matter more than that of the, what, three million more voters whose support Hillary has earned — so far. Nothing is more important than his ideas.
Well if Jonathan Martin, the NY Times national political correspondent intimates it, it must be true!
The point of politics is to use you influence as a much as you can get way with. So even if it’s true, what’s the big deal? So much umbrage taken over so little.
