Jerry Brown: Dems the ‘Champion’ of the Working People But Haven’t Been ‘‘Visionary’

‘Democrats have been the champion of working people, and they haven’t been able to deliver in face of these global trends’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BROWN: "It happened because the global economy is changing, America is losing manufacturing jobs, both to foreign countries, but also to technology, automation, innovation, and all of that. So we’re going through a real transition, if we’re looking at democratic countries around the world, South Korea or Brazil or in Europe, there’s a lot of discontent. In America, college education is going from essentially free to now we have a trillion dollars of debt. Home prices are out of the reach of many people, and jobs downward mobility, insecurity, and all the rest of it. This is a global phenomenon, and Democrats have been the champion of working people, and they haven’t been able to deliver in face of these global trends, and yes, you’d have to say the leadership has not been clever enough. Or strong enough or perhaps visionary enough."
