"That was pretty trippy, actually. I didn't think that it was so off, like I actually thought it was really good improv," Rosario told us. "As an actor, I was like, 'That was well done!' I can see for other people that being kind of strange doing the question and answer kind of stuff and I was surprised a bit by his position on some of the stuff, but I thought it was really great and really brave for someone to stand up and say this is my position on something, take it or leave it."
"I appreciated a lot of his positions, I think he was very respectful in a lot of ways and I wish that that was more the case when people are talking about someone they want to vote for and someone they don't," she continued. "I'm not always going to agree with the things that he's saying, but I like the fact that he's out there and making himself vulnerable to whatever it is because he cares."

(15,369 posts)This article is actually performing a service that our M$M has not. Hillary's campaign doesn't need to use this at all. But for the GOP, it's a windfall and the slightest incident will be magnified, spun and disseminated so widely and swiftly that Bernie won't know what hit him or even where to start to put things into context.
The GOP will throw everything they can at whoever is the Dem GE nominee. Whatever they have thrown at Hillary generally has fizzled out, although it doesn't stop them from continuing to exploit debunked or toothless crises such as emailgate and others. After 25+ years of relentless RW scandal-mongering, she is still standing. Proudly.
But Bernie hasn't been vetted at all. Some of these incidents (e.g., attending an anti-US rally in Nicaragua) will be fodder for GOPers to gleefully flood the airwaves and newsprint with. RW radio will literally slaver in its excitement to paint Bernie in the worst light possible.
I believe that top GOPers (and certainly Rove) actually know all these things already - and more too - but are deliberately holding their fire in the hope that Bernie will somehow eke out the Dem nomination.
Bernie really doesn't even have a clue what would await him. And Jane would not be spared either.

Perhaps Bernie hopes that focusing his energy on a single issue will make the job easier. The Senator has openly embraced, rather than repelled, being dubbed a one-issue candidate. My one issue is trying to rebuild a disappearing middle class. Thats my one issue, he declared at the Democratic debate ahead of the Michigan primary. While this is an extremely important goal Michigan certainly welcomed it (and Hillary also supports it) what is troubling is that the person occupying the Oval Office will be faced with a multitude of other important issues, not least a foreign policy roster that will require a great deal of time spent in the Situation Room.
This sanctum is designated for dealing with issues of national security and not, for example, enforcing regulations on Wall Street. The hostilities in the Middle East present a formidable challenge to any seasoned politician, let alone one whose references to foreign policy have almost exclusively been confined to I voted against the war in Iraq.

Hillary Clinton would also be a far stronger candidate against whomever the Republicans put up in the general election. Bernies policies would give any Republican a field day: it would only take a few moderately conservative brush strokes to paint him as a pink threat, prepared to sully the values that bind this country together. Hillary is without doubt the palatable alternative for moderate conservatives who will flat out refuse to tick a Republican box with the name Donald Trump next to it. Having Bernie on the ballot beside Trump might lead to an increased number of abstainers.
So I hate to break it to you my fellow Millennials, but a vote for Bernie Sanders is a selfish act: an indulgence of a fantasy, an impractical, high-minded quixotic vision for an America that can never exist; it would be like striking a match against a damp surface. I therefore urge all Bernie-inclined Democrats to make their vote count and choose Hillary Clinton. Whether you agree whole-heartedly with her policies or not, she is the best person for the White House. She will be able to realize an agenda closest to what you crave for this country because she has the experience, the pragmatism, the smarts, the thick skin and perhaps most importantly, the ability to work across party lines to gain the necessary support to get anything done.
