Sanders May Lose, but Socialism’s Siren Song Continues

Clinton has a problem. A 75-year-old crank keeps winning primaries.

Hillary Clinton has a problem. A 75-year-old crank from Vermont keeps winning primaries. While Donald Trump has risen to become the GOP’s presumptive nominee, Clinton cannot yet shake the socialist yammering on her coattails about her Wall Street ties and demanding she release the transcripts to the speeches she gave at Goldman Sachs. Bernie Sanders won the Indiana primary with 52.2% of the vote. As a result, he picked up 43 delegates to Clinton’s 37. Clinton, though, far outpaces her challenger in overall delegate numbers. A Democrat candidate needs 2,383 delegates to win the nomination, and, including superdelegates, Clinton sits less than 200 delegates away from becoming her party’s nominee. If Sanders is still talking about a narrow path to victory, that path probably includes raising money from leprechauns and getting votes from unicorns.

While Clinton would like to unite the party, join dissatisfied Millennials with her big corporate backers, Sanders isn’t giving up the race. The ol’ socialist’s strategy is to run hard to the Democrat National Convention and ride into the room with a minority of delegates so large that it cannot be ignored. Before he will consent and drop from the race, he wants his ideas — like breaking up big banks — rolled into the Democrat Party’s platform. “The ideas that we are fighting for are the ideas of the future of America,” Sanders declared this week. But those ideas don’t comport with Liberty. While some may think socialism died the day the Soviet Union fell, Sanders’ young supporters show the man’s ideas must be countered for years to come.
