I seriously had a dream last night that Bernie Sanders covered his head with a toupee and colored the rest of his hair dark gray. Imagine my relief when I woke up to the wrathful white hair we all know and love.

today in bernie: callin' out clinton and big banks

Bad Trade Deal - The 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership has divided the Democratic Party and left Hillary Clinton caught between angry liberal activists and the president she once served. Her positions on trade shifted several times over her decades in politics. Sen Sanders, meanwhile, has criticized the "job-killing" deal "negotiated in secret." He has long opposed trade liberalization, according to an AP report published in Wednesday’s Bennington Banner and Brattleboro Reformer.

Break Up Big Banks - Sen. Sanders today will introduce a bill to break up the biggest banks. Calls for Wall Street's largest firms to be cut down were numerous after taxpayers spent billions of dollars to prevent the financial system from collapse during the 2007-09 financial crisis, but they have since gradually died down,

So they announced that there's gonna be six debates in the democratic primaries. Don't happen until the fall, so there's most likely going to be more than just Hilary and our boy Bernie.

When Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders jumped into the 2016 presidential race, he was widely hailed as a far-left socialist who would appeal to the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. A liberal challenge to Hillary Clinton, said Politico. True progressives’ liberal alternative, trumpeted FiveThirtyEight. But before liberal Democrats flock to Sanders, they should remember that the Vermont senator stands firmly to Clinton’s right on one issue of overwhelming importance to the Democratic base: gun control. During his time in Congress, Sanders opposed several moderate gun control bills. He also supported the most odious NRA–backed law in recent memory—one that may block Sandy Hook families from winning a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the gun used to massacre their children.

Sanders, an economic populist and middle-class pugilist, doesn’t talk much about guns on the campaign trail. But his voting record paints the picture of a legislator who is both skeptical of gun control and invested in the interests of gun owners—and manufacturers. In 1993, then-Rep. Sanders voted against the Brady Act, which mandated federal background checks for gun purchasers and restricted felons’ access to firearms. As a senator, Sanders supported bills to allow firearms in checked bags on Amtrak trains and block funding to any foreign aid organization that registered or taxed Americans’ guns. Sanders is dubious that gun control could help prevent gun violence, telling one interviewer after Sandy Hook that “if you passed the strongest gun control legislation tomorrow, I don’t think it will have a profound effect on the tragedies we have seen.” (He has since endorsed some modest gun control measures.)

So basically he's more electable in the general than Clinton because he's willing to admit the gun control war is lost, and a lot of single-issue NRA voters with populist views as well as gunchart.jpg libertarians could actually consider voting for this guy.

But that's a bad thing because:

They also announced a new rule where participation in non-Democratic Party sanctioned debates gets you banned from future Democratic Party debates. So no more debates hosted or arranged by any group other than the Party establishment.

Maybe I'm too cynical, but somehow this is going to be used to prevent Hillary from facing questions that she's uncomfortable about answering.

you have to vote for bernie in the primary if you want this to go anywhere. find out if you have to register as a democrat to vote in the florida primary. some states have closed primaries where only registered democrats can vote in them.
