I don't think that this change is a Sanders turn on, but more of a Hillary turn off.

Bernie will be a real problem if he takes NY. The same basic attitude you find in the Empire State you find in the Keystone State.

That's why the DNC should be scared to death.

PS Trump kicks of NY with a discussion of New York values.

Daddy Cruz has yet to draw a crowd.

PPS Good Surber piece on what the NeverTrump crowd really means by Trump's vulgarity.

Essentially this is Troop's point in a more formalized form.

Will the DNC and her media drag the un-indicted felon over the finish line? Stay tuned.

Note the mass pro-dem media (the media) never mention Hillary's crimes. Never. and if they do, they use her talking points to disregard and minimize.

Imagine if Hillary did not have a pliable ass-covering media to protect her. She would have collapsed a long time ago.

CNN (Clinton News Network, b4 Trump took it over) is covering her on the ground NYC.

Thank God for Bernie Sanders

She did. 2008, to be exact.

BTW pliant, actually, compliant.

Trump?

Lem, are you seeing the same one I see when The Blonde gets a craving for a McDonald fishburger? They're hardly all that Trump-friendly.

Hungry for anything to fill their air time, maybe.

Hillary lost to Obama because of lack of internet savvy. And really bad oppo research. This time social media may be her undoing. You don't have to be a political junkie any more to learn of a pol's malperformances.

Don Surbar description of why the elites hate the "vulgar" Trump is right on the money. The idea of America first is what they hate. They are no different then the pajama boys on the Democrat side.

Off with their heads!

What I liked about it was how it showed how badly the Whigs had sold out.

It's 1854 all over again.

I think it was more basic than that.

Barry was attractive, new, young (relatively), and, on the surface, likable.

Hillary wasn't. He also let Willie show his closet worship of Orval Faubus (Axelrod undoubtedly remembered why the Gennifer flowers thing originally became an issue) and took advantage of it.

deborah said...

Yes, but if they'd found out about the shocking Reverend Wright connection before the primaries started, and Obama had gotten a toehold, I think she would have most likely won the nomination.

Hillary's poll numbers are dropping quicker than Huma's pants when they hit the hotel room.

Ed, you mean when Bill said 'fairy tale'?

Never heard of Faubus, interesting read.

What do you mean about Flowers?

deborah said...

Lovin' Surber.

Did I? Can't find it.

You had to be there. When Ike called in the 101 to keep the Little Rock schools open, it was a defining moment in the image of the south. Willie saw Faubus as his touchstone in domestic politics as much as he saw J Wacko Fulbright (a guy who wanted us to believe he was the font of all knowledge on the Vietnam War, but didn't know Australia had troops there) on foreign policy.

In "Ocean's 11", when Sammy Davis says Peter Lawford should be our ambassador to Little Rock, everybody knew what he meant.

What do you mean about Flowers?

It became a scandal not because Willie was screwing her (they expected that sort of thing by then), but because Willie had arranged she take a state job, one that was already earmarked for a qualified black woman.

When Willie told Teddy Kennedy, "10 years ago, he'd have been bringing us coffee", all that ingrained racism finally tripped him - and Hillary - up.

Ah. Thank you.

We live to swerve.

If this were a Middle Egyptian hieroglyphic class we'd spend the next to weeks discussing if the ancient scribe intended gloves or globes.

Allen is right. The numbers describe the woeful state of Dem enthusiasm. And Republicans should find great cheer, but they cannot. And when you consider most of Sanders supporters are college people and so many overwhelmed with debt, (I wince writing it. It's immoral. Bringing up our young including fully educating really is the purpose of our lives) so busy with their own youthful lives, so focused on the real things filling a young life to actually vote. Except for the ones who have been working so long at it that they're actually fully matured adults by the time they approach graduation. All those young people show up at his rallies with great interest but then a large number fail to actually vote.

Interviewer at the long lines in Wisconsin: They're banging on about how difficult the new proof of citizenship is for students who register the day of the vote. The day of the vote! Such an unnecessary barrier, a solution without a problem they insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. And insist. That's the reporting we get. "Who are you going to vote for?" "I don't know yet. I haven't made up my mind."

Dumbass.

That's why the line at Torchy's moves so glacially slowly. Groups of people packed in line four abreast, and nobody knows what they want until the moment they order and they're faced with a menu board of bewildering choices with clever names. Nobody knows what they want and decide at the last crucial moment while everyone else waits, again and again and again and again and again and again X 400 or so in line.

Don't even talk to me about politics, proof of citizenship, long lines, menus or choices. I can feel IQ points draining just listening. Will they serve cocktails while waiting to vote like at Torchy's ? You need several to dumb yourself down sufficiently to participate, to eat at Torchy's or to vote in Arizona or Wisconsin.

I should get a hundred votes to countervail your stupid ones.

Oh, Honey, that's what super delegates are for.

I remember a Japanese television show where the contestants tried to figure out whether a word contained an "r" or an "l". Entertaining and it played to the stereotype.

In the Dominican Republic they have a different version of that game - is it a "v" or is it a "b". Lem was on that show once, sadly, he answered every question incorrectly.

Why cheer for Sanders if you're Republican? He's a worse disaster than Hillary, policy-wise. (One example of many: Just look at the websites that show your taxes under Hillary v. Sanders). But obviously less of a liar, less corrupt, less greedy, less felonious (all because, like Obama, he has no significant history in government). All of which make him a much better candidate even though he's a crap politician, at best, he's definitely more sympathetic. He fits the correct lefty moron stereotype of "lefty politician."
