And to carry this food metaphor to its end, Hillary is like a big mac. (it was, after all, Bill's favorite food for years) Everyone knows what's inside. No surprise. Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun. Not at all inspiring or new or interesting. Bernie is like a good Neiman Ranch burger. Medium rare. Not overdone. I would certianly rather have the second, but if too many people in November vote for the Bernie burger, not only will we not get Bernie burgers, but we won't get the Big Mac either. Instead the whole country will be stuck with a nasty steaming pack of White Castle sliders. Greasy and vile and sending us all running for the bathroom with a big case of the sh**s.
