I prefer someone fresh and new for our candidate, not 2016 all over again, but I really want to hear from people on Kos how to explain this shocking quote from Bernie if he becomes our nominee. In 1972 he wrote about a woman fantasizing about getting raped by 3 men. See Snopes. It’s true. The Republicans will have a field day. It will normalize everything Trump has done to women.
So how will Democrats answer this in the age of Me Too? To me it is shocking that he would write this. How will women voters respond to him?
I think we need to confront this right away. Bernie wasn’t looked at very closely last time around. He must be looked at more closely this time.
