Dem Candidates Can't Define What is the Difference Between Democrats and Socialists Because there is None
Bernie Sanders' Rise Mirrors Democrats' Shift to Left
Tuesday, 07 Jul 2015
The presidential campaign of self-described democratic socialist Bernie Sanders is exposing a fissure in the Democratic Party and offering Republicans an opportunity to capitalize on it, according to Politico.
Sanders, according to the website, has established himself as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s "de facto challenger and a standard-bearer of a party that was, until this year, too far to the
right for his liking."
Since May, Sanders has skyrocketed in the polls. Clinton that month enjoyed a runaway advantage, recording 60 percent support to Sanders’ 15 percent, according to The New York Times, citing a Quinnipiac University poll. But by last week, Sanders had climbed to 33 percent and Clinton had fallen to 52 percent.
