Bernie Sanders spent the last week doing everything he could to paint himself as a left-wing mirror image of Ted Cruz. Sure, he's on the opposite end of virtually every issue, but the methods are the same. He's portraying himself as the only "true liberal" in the race, ripping on his own party's corporatist transgressions, attacking his own party's elites, and offering the Dem base enough tasty red meat to satisfy Michael Moore. ...And, if you believe the polls, it appears to be working. Bernie Sanders is dragging the base away from Hillary and his numbers are climbing.
