Can Sanders Message Trump Clinton Strategy? Bernie Says Yes We Can!

Can Sanders Message Trump Clinton Strategy? Bernie Says Yes We Can!

Until last night, the battle of strategies for the Democratic nomination seemed to heavily favored Hillary Clinton. While her message is relatively weak in relation to what the Sanders campaign is championing, the Clinton strategy was designed to hit Bernie first and hit Bernie hard. Clinton counted on Blacks and women to knock Bernie out of the race so early, she could label Sanders a sore loser if he decided to keep fighting. Unfortunately, Michigan changed all that. 

With enough cash on hand to survive the bloody beating on the Chitlin' Circuit, Sanders counted on a wider coalition of support to launch a counter strike. With movements like Occupy Wall Street, Fight for 15 , along with the worried middle class and blue collar voters still waiting for their voices to be heard, it was only a matter of time before the winds of change would be felt. And considering many younger women and better informed Blacks are also feeling the Bern, Sanders has even started chipping away at some of Hillary Clinton's core support. 

In fact, if one adds up all the people who'd benefit from a Bernie Sanders revolution, interestingly enough, you'll find he represents 99% of Americans. 99% of Americans are being screwed in some way or another by the political system, the justice system or the banking system. 99% of Americans are working harder and longer for less. 99% of Americans feel the 1% should pay their fair share. And if given the chance, 99% of Americans would vote all 535 members of Congress out of office and start anew. Whenever you get 99% of any group pissed off enough, a revolution generally follows. 

No matter what the polls say, having the Michigan win in his column demonstrates Sanders has the strongest message, the strongest appeal, the strongest support and the strongest momentum. As soon a majority of  Democrats, Liberals and Progressives are exposed to and fully understand the Sanders revolution, they're more likely to join up and remain committed to his movement. While Clinton supporters can easily be influenced by better ideas, Sanders supporters know they have the better ideas. 

If Bernie Sanders is able to slow Hillary Clinton down long enough to get his message in front of a larger audience, he has an excellent chance of taking his fight to the floor of the Democratic Convention. With a huge populace backing that'll refuse to compromise or reconcile with the Clinton camp, the battle for the Democratic nomination could end up being just as contentious as the GOP's. With differences as stark as those between these two camps, Clinton will likely face an all out rebellion before she sees Party unification.  

Bottom line: The Hillary Clinton campaign planned to win the White House and the Bernie Sanders campaign planned to defeat Wall Street. Unfortunately for Hillary Clinton, the Sanders message says without defeating Wall Street, the White House isn't worth winning. As long as Wall Street is allowed to do business as usual, it'll always own the White House and anyone occupying the Oval Office. Simply stated, Hillary Clinton got the plan ass backwards.
