Trump and his wall / Sanders wallops Clinton

Trump and his wall / Sanders wallops Clinton

Donald Trump notched his first primary win in New Hampshire yesterday, trouncing other Republicans by taking just over 35 percent of the vote. He celebrated in front of adoring fans who were chanting “build a wall,” referring to his promise to build a barrier along the border with Mexico. Almost 30 years ago, Ronald Reagan said: “Tear Down This Wall.” How times and political priorities have changed.

On the Democratic side, 74-year-old Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed democratic socialist, walloped Capitol Hill insider Hillary Clinton. The man who rails against the 1 percent took nearly 60 percent of the vote, leaving the former Secretary of State gritting her teeth as the primary focus moves south to what has been one of her traditional strongholds. Sanders should savor the adoration of his youthful, Birkenstock-wearing New Englanders while he can, before he faces a more diverse – and perhaps more skeptical – set of voters.

Mexico has a wall on its southern border to keep out Central Americans. It is rather hypocritical for them to say we can't do the same.

"youthful, Birkenstock-wearing New Englanders" Really? Pay no attention to the fact that Bernie Sanders won every demographic group; including 90% of the youth vote and more than half of the female vote.
