A blog companion to the book by Susan Campbell
Sen. Bernie Sanders’ digital team has figured out a way to let you connect to one of Donald J. Trump’s businesses around the world. This is very cool, because at present, people report that trying to call the White House reroutes them to a website or to Facebook. So go here, fill out the form. You’ll immediately …

Because I have. I, as did Sarah Silverman, have been feeling the Bern for the last year or so, in large part because of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ attention to wealth and income inequality (and, ironically, a rigged system that didn’t work in his favor). Neither of these are conversations you got to hear much in the public realm, and they are …

Did anyone within the sound of this blog post ever think the above spectacle would lead to yesterday’s spectacle in Indiana (that included TrusTED Cruz’s dropping out)? And then Bernie Sanders takes the state. Go figure. Mind? Boggled.
Pundits say it was a draw. This, from The Atlantic, is a pretty good take on last night’s debate between Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. But what do you think?

Iowa voters are attuned to the issues that matter most. God bless ‘Murica. The New York Times said Ted Cruz dealt Donald Trump a “humbling loss,” though no one expects The Donald to be humbled, and votes for the candidates above were thisclose.
Independent presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was Daniel in the lions’ den at Liberty University, where the student body tends to bleed conservative red. But he quoted the Bible (and in proper context!), and received nary a chew from the lions. He quoted from Amos, and Matthew. That’s his full speech up there.
Bernie Sanders put this on Twitter yesterday: If you work 40 hours a week, you have a right not to live in poverty. I just started teaching COMM 345 at Central Connecticut State University on Monday afternoon. It’s a writing course where we explore wealth/income inequality through the prism of race. We’ll be discussing this …
