First, Hillary Clinton, the presumptive nominee, urges the President to take advice from Nancy Pelosi on the TPP trade deal. You know, just like her husband did when he was in charge. Oh, except, Mr. Clinton didnt.

Then, of course, we had Senator Bernie Sanders opining yesterday that black Americans needed to stop voting based on race.

If I didn't vote based on my Race, Gender, and Religion (I'm a UU - a liberal humanist philosophy)
I might as well be Republican.
He's lost his doggone mind!

As to the next two, Bernie and HIllary, personally I dont know why any white American politician deserves anything from you other than disdain.
That they ultimately get your votes, the Democrats, is a god damn gift.

ETA: Or, let's not discount the possibility that a General Election win is NOT the intended/desired destination.
