From New York’s Daily Intelligencer, Chas Danner on how Bernie Sanders now seems to be trying to have it all ways, so long as those ways result in his nomination — is there any outcome in which Clinton is awarded the nomination that Sanders and his campaign would consider legitimate? Robert Reich has suggestions for both Clinton and Sanders supporters that neither will like. In the face of a well-funded attack machine that will dog her throughout her campaign, Hillary Clinton has overlooked her most potent tool for fighting back: Her own sweeping democracy reform platform. Get over yourself and support Hillary Clinton: “Fighting for freedom and justice right now means limiting the damage this thug is doing to the norms that make everything else possible”. Jeffrey C. Isaac on neither angels nor demons and the importance of coalescing to defeat Donald Trump: “The November US presidential election offers a stark choice: neoliberalism or barbarism”.
Jonathan Bernstein writes in defense of Republican opportunists: Rubio’s support for Trump is perfectly defensible political behavior.
