Fine that you put it in humor but I think it is astute. He's right. Many of the Bern's die hard supporters act as though they think he is the magic man. If the "magic" word is putting you off, just substitute "special". In their minds only the Bern is special enough to deliver us from the evils of a two party, corporate-run state. That is just bullshit. Bernie may be aces about identifying and waxing rhetorical regarding the problems, but that doesn't mean he is the guy who can do anything about it. Most likely he would have been a mess, unable to get support from much of anyone.
What Hillary is is a worker bee. She is a die in the wool do-gooder. She can wax wonky but who couldn't if they'd lived their entire adult life with Bill Clinton? But she is smart and she does care about helping people. I suspect she will be very productive and I have no doubt that her constituency will be kids, the poor and working people .. not the corporations whose support she gathers. If you want to get anything done in this country you'd better be able to communicate with everyone, you'd better be strategic and you'd better be persistent. She has shown herself to be all of that. But no, she isn't 'special' in the Bernie way. You want to fire up the base? Give the mike to Bill or Bernie. But you want someone to work like a dog and effectively to really help people, vote for Hillary.
