By now you already know (a) that Democratic Socialist
Sen. Bernie Sanders took a shellacking in Tuesday’s six primaries, and (b) that he “defiantly” (as the news accounts descried it) vowed to press on against fellow pro-abortionist, former vice president Joe Biden.
Biden won four of six primaries with one still in doubt. His strong showing gives him a huge delegate lead in the two-man contest to be the Democrats’ presidential nominee to go against pro-life President Donald Trump.
What you wouldn’t know if you didn’t happen to see the first CBS News story on Sanders’ press conference (and I am not exaggerating) is that his denunciations of President Trump were so rabid, he sounded positively unhinged. He left so slur left unslung.

It was positively frightening. If you’ve followed these things, it represented the distilled essence of the loathing Democrats and most media outlets have for President Trump.
In a later sanitized version from CBS News, Sanders is quoted saying, “Donald Trump must be defeated, and I will do everything in my power to make that happen,” adding that on Sunday, “The American people will have the opportunity to see which candidate is best positioned to accomplish that goal.”
Sanders was referring to the scheduled Sunday night debate with Biden. Inquiring minds wonder whether Biden will find a way to wiggle out of that one-on-one confrontation.
With all this in mind, here are just a couple of points worth rehashing.
*Tuesday was a bloodbath. Addressing the media in Burlington, Vermont, Sanders admitted, “We lost in the largest state up for grabs yesterday, the state of Michigan. We lost in Missouri, Mississippi and Idaho.” According to CBS News, “As of Wednesday morning, Biden held the lead with 832 delegates to Sanders’ 675 delegates. A candidate needs to win 1,991 of the party’s delegates to secure the Democratic Party’s nomination.”
*It doesn’t look much better in the near future. “Next up on the primary slate are a series of delegate-rich contests in Florida, Arizona, Ohio and Illinois. Sanders lost all four of those states to Hillary Clinton in 2016,” NBC News reported.
*As you would expect from any candidate whose opponent is bucking strong headwinds, Biden talked as if the contest were over. “”I want to thank Bernie Sanders and his supporters for their tireless energy and passion,” Biden said. “Together, we’ll defeat Donald Trump.”
*Finally, Biden benefited enormously from winning the “framing issue.” Not just that Sanders was accurately described (to be polite) as out of the mainstream, but, more importantly, that the media is bound and determined to portray Biden as a “moderate.” This is palpably untrue.
As we have discussed many times, Biden has clutched to his bosom the most radical positions on abortion and abortion funding as tightly as a mother does her newborn baby. But he and his party have long since left the American public in the dust on a litany of other issues that are not our issues.
Can’t wait for that Sunday debate in Phoenix.
