Opinion: What kind of change do voters want?
Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks at a campaign rally in Los Angeles. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 26 at 12:30 PM Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report observes, “The leaders of the ‘revolution’ wing, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, aren’t running to simply replace President Trump, but to bring serious, structural change to the country.
Put differently, Biden cannot repeat Hillary Clinton’s error in being the candidate of the old status quo; he has to be the guy who first can dump Trump so that we can then work on critical issues such as repairing and extending Obamacare, making investments in infrastructure and education, and setting a sane foreign-policy course.
However, Biden must then pivot to the question as to who is best able to tackle the long-standing problems and what kind of change is attainable and desirable. Here is where Biden will inevitably wind up confronting the all-or-nothing, socialist outlook that Sanders embraces.One posits that Sanders’s approach to change is so scary and radical that it makes him unelectable, or at least an easy target for Trump.
