First words in this story: “If you’re… invested in a Bernie Sanders victory, you’ve had a rough few days”
Does that tell you enough about who it's for? …who it's NOT for?
This helpful introduction prevents me from giving it a 1/2-star rating. It's a good list of talking points for those who're committed to Bernie.
I personally wouldn't take either Sanders's or Warren's comments as definitive of who Iowa voters should select. I think there's an unspoken implicit parallel concern, that a self-identified socialist can't win, that has a similar moral weight (i.e., near-zero) and a very real practical concern.
But the headline is utterly consistent with the contents: everything about Bernie is good (he's anti-sexist!) and everything said against him is bad (a smear!). This article mostly serves to show the intensity of the passion by the teams, complete with High Outrage by one of them.
