Great retrospective on politics in 72. Thank you.Great that it is in Time.
These are just some rather narrow thoughts......mainly re Sanders.
Sanders is a good, but not great, orator, Biden a poor one.
Sanders strikes themes, at times, struck by Jesus Christ, and somewhat in the way he had struck them. Socialism has that ideologtical color, doesn't it.
Trust me, these resound across a spectrum of both Democrats and Republicans.
If his writers had turned his rhetorical gifts more in that direction, perhaps he could have wiped the floor with Biden and the rest already.
He could crush him at a speech in a convention even now, taunting Biden pandering to Ukraine much as Trump pandered to Russia.
Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, to God what is God's. Etc, etc.
Trump needs to be pictured as the billionaire Roman aristocrat he is, the Caligula, the Tiberius, the Titus, of the Middle East.
Maybe I exaggerate a good bit for effect. But it seems to me that such a feint is open to Sanders not to Biden.
All the best
