There was a slight difference in how it was reported. Breitbart emphasized a leftist victory. CNN emphasized a counter establishment victory. As usual, the basic facts were the same, but the spin was there.
I would emphasize the counter establishment theme. One of the things to respect in the red movement is their dislike of establishment figures, one place they are a little ahead of the blue. The blue are hopefully catching up.
I'd say they both got it right. The left won and eliminated another more capitalist minded Democrat. As I've said, socialists and capitalists are like oil and water and don't mix well.
You aren't a capitalist either, just a small businessman working hard to make a life. Capitalists employ their money, not their skills and efforts. That said, you may not have socialist tendencies either … or you may. For example, do you favor a privatized police force? Military? Any other social service? If so, why?
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
