Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont has been making coy about running for President. He will be visiting Iowa this weekend and yesterday, as CNN reports, he established some distance between himself and Hillary Clinton, the nominee in waiting.
“If we do not get our act together to come up with public policy which expands the middle class, if we don’t overturn Citizens United, if we don’t move to public funding of elections, we are going to live in an oligarchic form of society,” Sanders said. “Now is Hillary Clinton going to say that?”
Mrs. Clinton has the money, the name recognition, the support of the media, and everything, it seems, except a willingness or ability to say or write (even with the help of ghost writers) anything interesting or original. If she runs – and she has promised to let us know by the end of the year – then it will be a long and unedifying campaign.
