A moderator at the sixth Democratic debate asked Bernie Sanders
how he felt about "thwarting history" by preventing the first woman
from becoming president.
"Senator," said PBS Gwen Ifill, "do you worry at all that you will be the
instrument of thwarting history, as Senator Clinton keeps claiming, that she
may be the first woman president?"
Bernie responded boldly, as he always does, to such idiotic
questions that he believes his candidacy is itself pretty historic.
"Well, you know," Bernie said. "I think from
an historical point of view, somebody with my background, somebody with my
views, somebody who has spent his entire life taking on the big money interests
– I think a Sanders victory would be of some historical accomplishment as
well."
Sanders, of course, wouldn't exactly be thwarting history,
he too would be making it.
