It seems like he's stopped doing many interviews and Jane does most of them. I would rather not see any democrats on that foolish show,but I don't think she was playing along with the fake emails scandal,but she should have known that's what a Fox News interview would center on. Jane Sanders has said of things I disagree with,but I'll be honest with you,she would have made a better candidate than her husband as far as her ability to express herself without coming across as too angry and bitter.

But can I say, Hillary cleared the road for that. She wasn't an "advisor" like Jane, but she took on that role, and the media was crap to her. Jane can thank Hillary for being the first to do that in modern times.

Compared with Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, Madame President, Barbara Bush, Nancy Reagan, Rosalyn Carter,

Jane, you do NOT possess the look, elegance, and sophistication of the First Lady.

Why the Democrats supporting this non-Democratic but Independent couple is beyond my understanding!

She obviously has nothing of Palin's ingrown (or inbred) racism and right-wing idiocy, Jane Sanders seems very much like a nice and a decent person all-around. But there's a sort of...folksy ignorance to her interviews and her general attitude towards politics and what she sees as the "correct" (i.e. the Bernie message) way to go, and any deviation is to be condemned.

She...and more importantly the Sanders surrogates who prepped her for her appearances...wanted her to come across as one of the people, not the high-falutin' rootin-tootin Big Establishment.

A plus though is that Jane Sanders actually knows how to speak and speak coherently, if simply. Palin, to cite Trevor Noah, is a bag of Scrabble vowels taking human form.

That has GOT to be the BEST description of Palin that I have EVER seen! Thanks for the chuckle!

I don't want this to be ongoing with leaks and revelations leaked out after the convention. As long as this is an ongoing investigation it will be used against HRC. I don't think anyone expects there to be any bombshells, any indictments etc. So lets get this behind us once and for all. James Comey, FBI director is a Republican. I just get the feeling someone is telling him to delay their findings. But once the findings are released and there is "no there, there" that should be the end of it.

Its failure makes it clear that the FBI will have the final say on whether Clinton did anything wrong or illegal. And whatever the verdict is, both parties will have to accept it because Comey is, in many ways, untouchable.

The 54-year-old FBI chief, confirmed by the Senate to a 10-year term in a 93-1 vote this summer, is known for his independence and aggressive prosecutions.

The grandson of a police officer in Yonkers, N.Y., he has repeatedly stressed his nonpartisan approach.

When he served in former President George W. Bush’s Justice Department, Comey made headlines by rushing to a Washington hospital to prevent White House counsel Alberto Gonzales from getting a bedridden Attorney General John Ashcroft to sign off on reauthorizing a domestic surveillance program.It’s the moment that made Comey’s reputation and underlines why Republicans and Democrats expect he’ll call the Clinton email investigation as he sees it, no matter the political stakes.

“My folks don’t give a rip about politics,” the 6-foot-8-inch Comey said earlier this year. “We’re competent, we’re independent and we’re honest.”

Comey donated to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in his 2008 run for the White House and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in his 2012 bid for the GOP nomination, but Obama still reportedly considered asking him to serve on the Supreme Court before tapping him for the FBI instead.

Since then, Comey has broken with Obama on a host of issues.

Calamity Jane is the one running for President - poor Bernie just got caught up in her ambition and greed. The fact that he no longer gives interviews tells you where the real power lies.

It sounds like she wants to be the parallel universe Hillary that the crazy people think exists.
