Plus Ca Change, Flail the Bern Dept. 4
Eight years ago, as Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination fell behind Barack Obama’s, I gave forth a screed* in which I suggested that, as hope for her campaign faded, she had begun acting like a jerk. (People sometimes do that when they start to lose hope in a cause. My two or three regular readers also know that, in my opinion, she has redeemed herself in her subsequent conduct.)
In an eerie reprise of history, the role is reversed and it is now her opponent who is acting like a jerk.

Sorry but it’s hard to take seriously someone who spews this nonsense: “he’s trailing by an insurmountable 2.4 million popular votes nationwide”.

My experience as a long-time reader of Dick Polman is that he’s correct the preponderance of the time.
In any event, we’ll know whether or not he’s correct soon enough.

The popular vote canard is comparing apples and oranges or caucuses and popular votes if you will. Perhaps not deliberately misleading but misleading just the same.

How is a reference to the popular vote, real or projected, a “canard”? I’m curious.
