Philadelphia

Third Way, a leading centrist think tank in Washington (though it’s largely aligned with the Democrats), probably didn’t plan for its event space in Philadelphia to sit a mere block from the downtown square where die-hard Bernie Sanders supporters decided to mount their furious last stand. Outside, in sweltering 100-degree heat, a couple of hundred Sanders supporters of various ages, colors, and states of undress, chanted “Bernie or Bust!” “Bernie or Bust!” “Bernie or Bust!” on Tuesday afternoon. Some 100 feet away, meanwhile, in a handsome event space at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, a couple of dozen formally dressed “wonks” sipped Perrier and nibbled on sandwiches while a Third Way-sponsored panel discussed energy policy.
