BLM, Wall Street
We have seen instances in this campaign year of how candidates deal with disruptive people in the audience. We've seen Trump asking his supporters to steal coats off the dissenters and throw them out into the cold NH winter. He also has said things like "Punch him in the face". We've also seen the Hillary campaign throw out a BLM protester at one of her appearances.
Bernie, however, yields his microphone to the disruption and in effect absorbs the issue by being INCLUSIVE. There is no further disruption - Bernie needed to show that he is certainly on their side (despite how badly they believed it in South Carolina).
Is PC an issue here at all? We kneaux that Trump is no PC guy. He is however, nonetheless very crude & rude and perhaps correctly the target of these so-called "excessive PC" writers. But Hillary? Bernie?
Bernie was asked about whether Wall Street would like it if he got elected and readily said that most certainly they would not, in contrast to what Hillary said about that. Was Hillary being "PC" not to offend Wall Street?
Just wondering about the good PC versus the bad PC...there certainly are both kinds, along with PCs in between.
