Just so we’re clear: Sanders is an unserious pie-in-the-sky candidate because he wants to rein in campaign spending and institute a health care system that is commonplace in Europe. Clinton, on the other hand, will eradicate sexism and racism in America. Who’s the dreamer here? After all, Clinton can’t even keep her own campaign surrogates — Gloria Steinem and Madeleine Albright — from taking sexist swipes at young female Bernie supporters.

Clinton’s attack is, not surprisingly, dishonest. (There is a reason that among New Hampshire’s Democratic voters who listed trustworthiness as their most important issue, Bernie won out 91%-5%.) Sanders’ platform is as comprehensive as Clinton’s. But Bernie has focus. He is animated by the suffering of the vast majority of Americans who are struggling economically. He is no more of a one-note candidate than Bill Clinton was in 1992 when his campaign slogan was, “It’s the economy, stupid.” Whereas Hillary is continually reinventing herself and her campaign, throwing things against the wall to see what sticks, Sanders appears to be driven by core values. He’s running because he wants to upend a broken system. She’s running because she thinks it’s her turn.
