I could only listen to part of the video, I got so mad. It is so clear to me this person is wrong for the job. Why would Obama appoint him?!!??
I am convinced that our beloved Pres. O, is a lite-republican and pro-corporations and big money. He is not making decisions for the people.
Unbelievable!!!!
primary..too many ifs for me right now. Yet I hear what you're saying and it could very
well look like that in her administration.
Unknown: If Bernie loses nomination, how that is settled politically with the Clinton campaign.
Unknown: If Bernie wins, how will Warren respond. I expect the DNC to be less than willing
to help Sanders thrive as our nominee.
These are some of the variables I am waiting to see play out. I expect Bernie to lose
by a large margin in SC today, and I believe his campaign expects that too.
I read a recent article about SC voters and was dismayed as to how many still
do not know about him..anecdotal but interesting nonetheless. A gentleman said,
I work all day, I have no time for this. Another older lady, I don't know much about
Bernie Sanders, I want Hillary to beat the Republican...and so it goes.
I urge everyone to phone bank and travel if you can, the campaign will provide
you with travel arrangement..ride shares. I am sure you already know that but
I feel compelled to repeat it often in many of my posts. lol 
Unknown: If Bernie wins, how will Warren respond. I expect the DNC to be less than willing
to help Sanders thrive as our nominee.
There is a lot of push for Warren to endorse Bernie and stump for him...and for him to court her for his VP in private conversations. Of course the real fear is that after SC or Super Tuesday she endorses Hillary (not likely, I think, since Hillary already has all the key endorsements she needs, at this point).
Then throw in yesterday's zinger of Christie's endorsement of Trump (which makes a power team of clever "Thugs" moving forward) which will scare many traditional Democrats into wanting the stability of the known Clinton Team over Bernie's Revolution. They forget that the Clintons have many things from their past hanging over their heads and stability might not be so easy to come by.
BTW: Bernie's teams is now contacting those of us in NC re the phone banking--so we should start to see some positive action in NC where Bernie is polling better over Hillary than in GA or the other Southern states. NC votes March 15 in the Second tier where Bernie is expected to do better. Fingers crossed that SC isn't much more than 20 points. But, then...it is SC and Bernie never really had a chance there no matter if he'd brought an army in.
Answer: Which ones in Congress?
And.... The Audacity of Whore-like Nominations award goes to ....President Barack Obama!
