"Nothing in my experience in American politics suggested that a
socialist from Vermont could mount a credible campaign for the White
House. But Bernie
proved to be a disciplined and effective politician."
"He was
right that Democrats needed to strengthen our focus on working families
and that there’s always a danger of spending too much time courting
donors because of our insane campaign finance system."
"He also engaged a lot of young people in the political process for the
first time, which is extremely important."
"Bernie deserves credit for understanding the political power of big,
bold ideas. His call for single-payer healthcare, free college, and aggressive Wall Street reform inspired millions
of Americans."
"Even though I understood that a lot of Democratic primary voters were
looking for a left-wing alternative, I admit I didn’t expect Bernie to
catch on as much as he did. Bernie and I had a
spirited contest of ideas, which was invigorating."
(And of course then there's all that other negative Bernie stuff, which in our view is pretty tame but which people can't seem to get enough of. Still and all, Hillary Clinton doesn't have to ask anyone's permission to say what she wants. And who's drawing record crowds to a book tour starting today? We cats will stick with HRC. And we PURR.)
