I just saw on TV the moment when Bernie Sanders was told during his speech in Wisconsin that he won the state of Washington by an enormous margin. It’s such a beautiful, inspiring moment that I was touched almost to tears.
Bernie has been saying all this stuff his entire life but he was always pretty marginal with his ideas. And now all of a sudden, so late in life, he discovers that people are finally ready to hear him. Imagine what it must mean to him finally to be heard by so many people. And it’s especially beautiful that it’s the young people he connects with especially well.
I’m sorry for people who can’t get over their partisan sympathies for other candidates and appreciate the inspirational potential of this moment.
This also means that the Democratic primary race is far from over. Despite her publically stated desire, Hillary can’t afford to turn her attention to the general election until at least after the New York primary on April 19th.
