Not only did Bernie Sanders energize droves of new voters and help avoid an outright anointment, but he served to characterize Hillary Clinton in a more appealing light for the general electorate.
Donald Trump’s idea that a woman has privileges because of her gender is laced with denial and the same belittling rhetoric so popular among his base.
