Welcome to The Lid, your afternoon dose of the 2016 ethos… Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders will face off in a highly-anticipated debate tonight in Brooklyn. We assume they'll draw sharp distinctions between their policy plans for America's kombucha, beards, and microbrews.
Bernie Sanders' Surrogate Problem
Thu, 14 Apr 2016 21:33:00 GMT

From Carrie Dann and Andrew Rafferty

One of the most interesting things about today's brouhaha over a Bernie Sanders supporter who used the phrase "corporate Democratic whores" was that it took so long for an unruly Sanders surrogate to get this much attention for going off-script. As Sanders campaign reporter Danny Freeman points out, health care activist Paul Song was hardly the first (or the most famous!) #FeeltheBern fan to use controversial language (see examples from Rosario Dawson, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins.) But one very big reason for the in-depth coverage of Song's remark and subsequent apology was the relative absence of Donald Trump in the news cycle. The GOP frontrunner is hardly quiet -- after all, he's flatly accused the entire GOP nominating apparatus of being "corrupt." But Trump has notably NOT been lurching lately from one hyper-controversial comment to the next (akin to his remarks about the KKK, nuclear attacks and punishing women for abortions.) That created some room in the news cycle for a Democratic controversy that might have otherwise gotten second billing to high-stakes drama on the GOP side. It's another reminder of how much of a break both Clinton and Sanders have been getting for the last few months, as Trump distracting from their protracted fight by taking up all the oxygen day in and day out.
