Is Wisconsin Ready For Bernie?

I’m not going to claim I like the idea of Bernie Sanders winning the Democratic Party’s nomination for president in 2016.

I love the idea of Bernie Sanders winning the Democratic Party’s nomination for president in 2016!

It’s time to stop denying the inevitable, people. Ben Kamisar, The Hill:

Wisconsin Democrats might not be ready for Hillary Clinton, as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) finished just 8 points behind Clinton in a new Badger State straw poll.

Clinton finished with 49 percent of voters at the state party convention, with Sanders in second place with 41 percent of the vote…

The surprise showing is a boost for Sanders, who regularly polls about 40 percentage points behind Clinton in national poll and rarely finishes within striking distance to Clinton.

The guy is unstoppable. Even his creepy rape essay couldn’t slow him down. Among “progressives,” his economic ignorance (deodorants cause hunger, etc.) is a feature, not a bug. Plus, his hair is awesome.

Get on board the Bernie train, everybody! Woot-wooooot!!
