I honestly thought it was a fairly balanced discussion about the subject.

2. you, as a Democratic voter, should happy the nominee's bs "scandal"

is being talked about just a little less to give airtime to the guy who will help bring the GOP down next year and the rhetoric that will do so.

If you really think Bernie Sanders is the second coming of Obama, you're in lalaland.

5. She isn't the nominee and I don't want her to be.

I think she is a terrible candidate who is, once again, running a terrible campaign.

She can't even handle this self inflicted wound of a "bs" email scandal. What is she going to do when the real RW attacks start?


Bernie is his own man and has won far more elections than Hillary. Her 2 wins for a Senate seat in NY that most any well funded (D) could have won has not prepared her for a serious Presidential run.

She is to big a gamble. Her unfavorables and untrustworthy numbers are way to high. We need someone else and right now Bernie is far and away the best choice.

7. she's still ahead in the polls. The lastest CNN/ORC one proves she's handling it quite well,

because she's beating every Republican outside MoE in two way races in that poll.

The media just can't handle that.

Umm Bernie won elections in a tiny state smaller than NYC, and a state known for being far to the left of even other blue states. Hillary also was new to NY; Bernie could never have gotten elected to a state in which he was a newly minted resident like Hillary did. The Clintons are buy one get one free: they've have won more combined elections than Bernie has lame songs on his folk record. I'm very excited for 8 more years of Bill and Hillary as president.

that Bernie filter blocks out pretty much anything that doesn't fit into the Saint Bernie / Broom Hillary narrative....

enjoy your certainty, though..I'm sure it's comforting.
