Bernie Sanders is back in the saddle. Had Jon Ossoff, a centrist Democrat, won the special congressional election in Georgia on Tuesday, the party’s Clintonite wing would have been the real victor. Mr Ossoff promised to “make Trump furious”. Instead he made him happy. The Democrats keep chalking up moral victories against Donald Trump. But they have yet to achieve a single win. What might have been dismissed as the result of a one-off election will tilt the battle for control of a confused — and leaderless — party.
伯尼•桑德斯(Bernie Sanders，文首圖右)重返戰場。要是中間立場的民主黨人喬恩•奧索夫(Jon Ossoff，文首圖左)贏得了6月20日的喬治亞州特別國會選舉，那麼真正的勝利者將是民主黨內的柯林頓陣營。奧索夫承諾「把川普搞得火大」。結果他讓川普得意。民主黨人對唐納•川普(Donald Trump)取得一個又一個道德上的勝利。但他們還一次都沒有贏。有人可能會不屑地稱，這只不過是一場一次性選舉的結果，但這個結果將改變民主黨控制權鬥爭的格局。現在的民主黨非常混亂，羣龍無首。
