Andrea Mitchell thought so. Yeah I said it earlier, but it bears repeating. Andrea Mitchell thought she was interviewing Hillary's proxy and she got schooled.

Every single question from her had H or C or HC in it.

Just a paid stooge.

didn't raise Bernie's name once. Instead, she was very focused on Hillary's gender.

Hillary is trying to "create her own reality" and people are having none of it.

Of course, she's doing it extraordinarily poorly, since she doesn't start where people are, and lead them to a Promised Land. Instead, she keeps trying to pretend the last 70+ years never happened.

....and reality has deteriorated so badly in the last 8 years, that even Bill or St. Ronnie of Reagan would have a hard time pulling wool over people's eyes now.

Her loss is our gain.

Go Bernie!

I think HRC looks pretty good out there. I still prefer the guy with the wild hair, who is still focused on issues.

Samuel Jackson, Pulp-Fiction style:

Sanders/Grayson would pretty much be my dream ticket.

ticket also.

But Grayson would also work for me.

seeing Warren as Senate Majority Leader with Bernie in the WH.

and powerful as Senate majority leader than she ever could be as VP which is more of an ambassadorial position.

Rep Grayson in the House. The VP should be someone that can bring in southern votes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the last Democratic VP candidate to bring in Southern votes was Lyndon Johnson.

I disagree with the claims that she could do more as a Senator than as President. But the track records of Democratic vice presidents becoming President is very dismal, as that has only happened as a result of the death of the sitting President.

I'm not convinced he would be on Bernies short list of VP selections because his propensity for exuberance and outspokeness could become a liability to Bernies gains he's making in reaching GOP voters. Perhaps the ticket could include a woman...someone like Jan Schakowsky of IL; or a leader in LGBT affairs like Gavin Newsome? I don't know...I could be way off base here but at any rate I know one thing, and that's that I certainly will trust whatever choice he makes.

For some reason, I think Amy Klobushar (sp?) out of Minnesota would be excellent as well.

As VP, he was awesome here in SF!

Grayson, who levels the Repubs and fraudulent bankers and is a joy to watch as he does so on the floor of the House, every chance he gets, would be great in a position where he has the power to go after them finally.

No more foxes in the henhouse. Go Bernie!

Warrens best position would be as Senate Majority Leader. I agree with Bernie on his preference for Robert Reich as Treasury Secretary.

Majority Leader if she doesn't take a position in Bernie's administration. We need all the good people we can get in the Senate.

The attack was on the press (and rightly so), not on Hillary.

I guess it was the "Do I look like Hillary" comment that jumped out at me, because the press has taunted Bernie so much, asking so many questions that picture him only in her light.

I think Bernie's done a great job trying to steer the conversation away from horserace and onto issues.

and just interview him about his own positions.

One hopes.

Meanwhile, they're pretending his replies to their questions about Hillary are attacks on Hillary. The formula is getting boring already.

She finally had to say something and take a position...I guess...sort of...until the wind changes.

I want it to rotate, not just the single image but the rotating gif...

That's a thing of beauty right there, could replace the E and W with L and R, works fine as is though, AtomicKitten hats off to you.

It's a gif so it will show up moving. It's a keeper.

I knew how to download a gif, thanks though. There is something I'm missing re animated gifs, either on the download side or displaying them. I will do some googling when I get a little time and hopefully figure it out...

That cartoon says it all from the political standpoint. In my opinion.

So apropos!

I fucking love that.

it represents everything ------absolutely everything

HRC is not in the same league as Bernie.

Or at least, much harder to pull off than it used to be. Not in today's world of tweets, tags and instant communication.
Which of course is why some would prefer to suppress it and what little remains of the "gotcha media".

that more and more Americans are shaking of the fog of propaganda that has been bombarding them for years, mainly through
televisions and print media. It would mean that Americans are waking up from their trance and starting to use their brains.

The enthusiasm Sanders is generating is another sign that Americans are beginning to think logically.

I think that when your position on a critical issue would be wildly unpopular, and weighing in on it won't make much difference, keeping quiet is probably the sensible thing to do.

If she wants to be president the people need to know what powers she thinks the president should have and if she is going to support further 'trade' deals. If they'll ever need another one after this monstrosity that is.

They're so demanding!

On many important issues these days. Just depends on if your democracy first or career first.

Sometimes I feel the only thing that ever trickled down from Reaganomics was the ethics & morals they displayed for all to emulate, and they all do , today.

Gotta love straight talkers.

Wall street cronies handing out fat checks. No onstant 'evolving' and no faux anything!

anything new.

The disastrous Supreme Court decision has made the battle lines very clearly drawn. It has also made the stakes incredibly high for figuring out who is REALLY on the people's side - and who isn't. In the good ole days before Citizens United, the American voter could indulge themselves in getting lost in a candidate's flowery campaign rhetoric, but now, we need to focus on tell-tale signs like a candidate's conspicuous silence on critical issues like the TPP - and forget about the campaign rhetoric, with all its lofty and inflated promises. We've had too many posers and pseudo populists, and our great nation can't survive too many more of them, who only do the bidding of the vulture capitalists.

Attack?

He's just asking what her position is.... and pointing out that not telling us what it is isn't very leadership-y.

The rest of us are doing that too.....

Love that he's too smart to take the bait. Love the smackdown!

because her corporate cronies will stop the money flowing.
On the other hand she can side step the issue and claim she is against it but not really against it because she has to "read the final version". She says just enough to make Democrats think she is against it but not enough to piss off her money tree.

I have watched and listened to every Presidential candidate since 1952 and I can tell you that Hillary sounds just like a Republican on
issues.
But Bernie has stayed on the same course on the issues since announcing his candidacy

Oppose it until I'm at the negotiations.

Though I'm serious, in all seriousness I think she supports it with some changes based on her statements.

One image to offend them all. It needs to have its colors redone, the pantsuit color clashes with the new face tone, could just be the stubble.

Thanks for that, I guess...

What a lazy, odious piece or crap she is.

As someone pointed out in a thread not more than a few days ago, she has supported it in the past and unless she comes out against it, she is still for it.

I do think she'll give the President and his negotiators with Congress time enough to win the day. What HRC sees as "time enough", is a good question. HRC has obligations both to the President, and the base.
Eventually people are going to think they are owed some fairly lengthy explanations. If fortune smiles on the HRC campaign, this matter will be decided before the wait for the explanation passes from awkward into corrosively damaging.

I suppose they can be seen as "sharpest attacks", but he is just answering honestly, as is his way.
