By Rich Lowry — March 8, 2016
It was the “excuse me” that echoed around Democratic politics.
In their intense Flint, Mich., debate, Bernie Sanders pointedly said to Hillary Clinton in the heat of one exchange, “Excuse me, I’m talking.”
Sanders has an $18 trillion unicorns-dancing-on-rainbows spending program and a paranoiac’s view of Wall Street, but nothing is quite as disqualifying for the feminist Left as his alleged “condescension” in this moment and a couple of others (in two other instances, he asked if he could finish, please).
As far as decorum goes, the Clinton–Sanders spat was like a dispute over what dinner fork to use at a four-course meal at the Four Seasons compared with the food fights during the Republican forums. It takes a primatologist to try to unravel the dynamics at a GOP debate, whereas the Democratic debates are being scored by the kind of people who worry about microaggressions and need ready access to safe spaces.
