Hillary was behind this faux pas. McCaskill is perfectly capable of loose cannon status without any coaching from anyone else. She be a cranky lady.

Here's a hint, Senator: should Hillary be the nominee, and if you have any hope inspiring people to show up at the polls to vote for her, this is NOT the way to do it!

And no I don’t think Hillary is behind this as has been suggested – that’s rather silly - my take only. You really think Hillary told Claire to go after Bernie’s socialism? Really? Most of us libs are already rather socialistic! Just because someone makes comments interpreted as negative who happens to support Hillary doesn’t mean Hillary is behind it.

Nonetheless, when McCaskill talks about Bernie’s socialism, I never took that as negative. I thought it was simply stating a fact. First of all, remember claims of socialism during Obama’s first two years in office (like that’s a bad thing anyway!)? I think McCaskill was simply stating that she was surprised that the media was not talking to Bernie about that, not that she thinks they should. That’s all – that was my take.
