| Subject: Statist idiot: Sanders said Clinton – whom he had excoriated for months as an exemplar of those problems – now qualifies as the solution Tue Jul 26, 2016 12:40 am | |
| Rarely has a vanquished opponent offered such full-throated support for a rival as Bernie Sanders did for Hillary Clinton on Monday night. At a convention whose first hours were marked by incipient rebellion among die-hard Sanders delegates, the democratic socialist from Vermont did far more than merely utter an endorsement; he delivered a long and passionate speech that was designed expressly to move his supporters to Clinton’s side.
He began by listing the premises of his campaign: the “immorality” of income inequality, the inadequacy of traditional liberal programs, the corruption of politics fueled by corporate money.
Then, in a striking turn, he said Clinton – whom he had excoriated for months as an exemplar of those problems – now qualifies as the solution.
“Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States,” he said. “The choice is not even close.”
