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，文首图右)重返战场。要是中间立场的民主党人乔恩•奥索夫(Jon Ossoff，文首图左)赢得了6月20日的乔治亚州特别国会选举，那么真正的胜利者将是民主党内的克林顿阵营。奥索夫承诺“把特朗普搞得火大”。结果他让特朗普得意。民主党人对唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)取得一个又一个道德上的胜利。但他们还一次都没有赢。有人可能会不屑地称，这只不过是一场一次性选举的结果，但这个结果将改变民主党控制权斗争的格局。现在的民主党非常混乱，群龙无首。
