Based on the histrionic responses to 1) a recent interview and 2) a Sanders stump speech, it is clear that the Clinton campaign is out of ideas and trying to create the kind of “media controversy” that Kerry deftly used to knock Howard Dean out of contention for the Democratic nomination.
It all feels so made up and phony though, doesn’t it? It is difficult for me to imagine it working. Difficult, but not impossible. On this very blog, we have contributors willing to go along with it, I can only imagine how many others in the national media will hear their dog whistle and respond in accordance with their classical conditioning.
