Bernie Sanders is a Howard Stern CopyCat

The only reason Bernie defended Tulsi — and let’s face it, calling just ONE of Hillary’s statements ‘outrageous’ isn’t exactly the same thing as standing up to her — is because Tulsi went on the Defense & Offense, first.

Like the Shock Jock Howard Stern copycats of the old days, none of them would have had the courage to question the standards of ‘normal’ discourse, without the precedent that Stern set.

If & when Sanders sits in that Oval Chair and faces the MIC, we can expect the same timidity, unless someone else takes a risk first and doesn’t get disappeared. And if that’s true, why select Sanders to begin with?

Related to this, it shouldn’t be necessary to ‘Move Sanders to the left’, if that’s your standard for a leader. If a leader has to be prodded to become palatable for you, then it’s a pretense when they miraculously see things your way.
