The splitters begin their work

More like Reagan than FDR: I’m a millennial and I’ll never vote for Hillary Clinton

Too young and dishonest to have a good picture of either Reagan or FDR, Walter Bragman shoves in the wedge.

In 2000, liberals and those further left made the argument that Gore was little different from GW, and more broadly the old red claim that Democrats and Republicans are Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum.

Some who would otherwise have voted Democratic instead went for Ralph Nader and others went for George W. Bush, leaving considerably fewer to vote for Big Al, with the splendid results we all have come to know.

People who write such things exaggerate the differences between the likely or settled Democratic nominee and the fellow to his or her left while ignoring equal or greater differences between that Democrat and the Republican opposition.

This piece is just the sort of leftist bilge that is so familiar in the pages of Salon.

And this sort of thing just might give the GOP the White House.

And Walt actually says outright he is OK with that.

Sure he is, the little punk.
