Too funny.

 As usual, she was detailed, but the wonkiness was a welcomed comparison to that of Senator Sanders' repetitive, one-size fits all inspirational curative. My intuition is that Senator Sanders' generalized treatment of issues will become recognized as being a collection of noble goals, but not necessarily, a program to execute unless it provides specifics.  And, some of the goals, were very long range, from a Medicare for All (whose roll out still was not clarified), to the goal of normalizing relations with Iran (which was likened to Cuba and its long gestation period for resumed relations.)

The debate, too, offered an opportunity to imagine each facing a Republican candidate, rather than the other. Sander v Trump, a battle armed with inspiration; Clinton v Trump, a battle royal on all fronts, armed with inspiration and facts.

Senator Sanders may have entered the debate overconfident in the face of his NH victory, whereas, Mrs. Clinton, who always seems to do best, when challenged, was cool, collected and tough, in a decent way. I worried about Senator Sander's flushed look.  Mrs. Clinton's outfit was not her best (Navy blue is her color for these debates).  The stage background was too bright, which was not flattering to either one.

The moderators, save for a few off questions, were non-intrusive and keep the debate moving. No pile ups at the entry gate, either.

What I mean is that I really felt this kind of showing for him was pretty much inevitable, sooner, rather than later. And, I believe the realization of that, now that Iowa & New Hampshire are behind him, sort of weighed down on him like a ton of bricks. He really felt, and showed the fatigue from that, and, the certain knowledge that he pretty much "shot his load" in those two states.

 That's why I felt the somewhat frenetic denunciations of him were a little overdone. He wasn't ever, really going to be a serious challenge to Hillary. Just do the math; you've all stated it again and again: a one trick pony. He almost duplicated Rubio's one track performance.

The latest effort came Thursday, when the Congressional Black Caucus PAC endorsed Clinton. At the Capitol Hill event, Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, a renowned civil rights leader, harshly criticized Sanders and discounted the senator's civil rights activism in the 1960s.

"I never saw him. I never met him," Lewis said. "I was chair of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee for three years, 1963 to 1966. I met Hillary Clinton. I met President Clinton."

From the chapter on John Lewis:
The first time I heard of Bill Clinton was in the early '70s. I was living in Georgia, working for the Southern Poverty Law organization, when someone told me about this young, emerging leader in Arkansas who served as attorney general, then later became governor.

The quote:

"Our political process is controlled by billionaires and Wall Street executives."

"It looks like a nice one.  Real silver, I think."

"Just the top one percent has benefited in this economy."

"Should I just pick it up for you?"

"The Koch Brothers!"

"Here's your pen."

"Citizen's United."

"Would you stop flapping your hands so you can take this pen."

"I believe healthcare is a right not a privilege."

"I'll just put your pen on this table over her."

"We need a political revolution!"

"Okay, goodbye, Senator Sanders."

Seriously, the blithe way you dismiss it is disturbing. You want a woman to be president, that seems obvious, and you are willing to overlook massive flaws in her political actions. You should just say that. The rest is cynicism and does not suit you, IMO.

I will, of course, and with zero hope for anything but a status-quo to worse future, bote for Hillary in the general is in the general if she is the nominees. I will vote with a tad more hope for Sanders. A tad. That that is based entirely on record.

Race relations would be better under a Sanders Administration than now is what you're saying?

Sanders: Absolutely.

And it looks like just the kind of moment that Halperin and Heilemann will ridicule on "With All Due Respect".  Complete with trippy psychedelic music.

That could carry it over the holiday weekend.

First Mr. Roboto and now Jefferson Sandship.

While whining and pi$$ing and moaning about Donalds awful "vulgar language" Cruz has to pull an ad because the star is a porn star.

Pfffffft

You want to talk about changing that?  Terrific.  Let's do that.

Look, I could care less if she did p0rn but come on.

The funny part of this is Cruz holier than tho krap getting tripped up.

Btw
