It's obvious the Clinton Machine is in full tilt panic mode. Fun to watch actually.

They're throwing every piece of shit and trash they can find. There's a lot of it lying around their camp, that's for sure. Priceless watching the meltdown in action. #FeelTheBern

Is that when Sanders or his supporters bring up anything negative about Hillary they are being sexist, racist & are just helping the GOP and are told to shut up for the good of the party.

they probably tip toe around so she doesn't see or hear them. Since people had to hide behind curtains when she walked down the halls in the White House I can only imagine the confines of a campaign office or bus.

If she's trying to move Bernie's voters - they are supporting Bernie because he is the antitheses of negative politics. She has extremely high untrustworthy ratings - why would Bernie voters be moved by her scorched earth campaigning? It didn't work for her in 2008 and it's not going to work in 2016. What's the definition of insanity?

Also, the Wicked Witch finger jab.

For fun I did a screen grab and colored Hillary green. She resembled Margaret Hamilton (the actress, NOT the programmer!) quite a bit there.

know anything about governing - neither does Sanders. Like Obama makes pretty speeches but can't get anything done - Sanders may inspire people but can't get anything done. Like she wasn't sure if Obama was a Christian - she's not really sure if Sanders is a Democrat. That kind of thing . . .

This election is about the middle class of the USA, on both sides, finally realizing they are fucked.

Really, they have been waiting since the Reagan era for the trickle down and have finally began to realize that compared to the 70's or compared to people in other countries we aren't doing so well anymore.

I'm not sure that Bernie will make it. I mean he's closing but I'm not sure he got introduced early enough.

However Hillary or whomever is going to have to deliver and congress may be next.

I share your sentiments. This rift will not disappear once the primary is over. H. Clinton is a deeply flawed candidate, but I will vote for her to prevent a lunatic from becoming president. If she is elected, which is no shoo-in with her high negatives, the newly resurgent populist movement will demand action on real issues. There is the real possibility of a viable independent/third party candidate challenging Clinton in 2020, if she is elected this year.

If elected, it is highly likely she would be a one term failed President.

Divided electorate, three Democratic terms in a row, divisive personality, TPP passed, Keystone passed, middle class continues to hurt, health care languishes, inequality is not addressed, she pushes to "fix" social security like her good friend Blankfein has requested.

Would she put a corporatists (or two or three) on the Supreme Court? Highly likely, so money in politics certainly isn't addressed. Her Treasury department and Fed appointments would be more of the same failed Wall Street bankers we have "enjoyed" for so long, so sending jobs to Mexico continues unabated.

I can see your point of all this leading to a third party.

The only bright side would be that America would once and for all be rid of the Bushes and the Clintons.

Hillary would flush what is left of the Clinton "legacy"

Hillary and her people still assume everyone will fall in line. They don't realize so many Dems are fed up after over two decades with their betrayals. They are tired of having nowhere else to go and the lesser of evils and the Clinton games. With the poison seeds planted by the Clintons of free trade and Wall Street deregulation strangling the middle class. An establishment Hillary nomination, with her record is insanity. The superdelegates are in a bubble of naivity if they do the machine bidding. But then they are the machine... Or are they?

saw that a few times today on Clinton News Network, in that HARDBALL interview with professional fluffer Chris Cuomo asking questions like..."do you think Bernie's voters will fall in and support you when you are the nominee?"

The answer Chris is "fuck no"
