I think the real point is that Carly comes off as much more direct and decisive. Hillary talks in circles and avoids making hard and fast statements. I was impressed with Carley's performance. Of course almost everything she said was a lie, but she sounds good. A low information voter could buy her rhetoric, especially since the commentators never call them on their lies.

I am a Bernie fan. He is both direct and honest. Hillary doesn't seem trustworthy, probably more because she has to be forced little by little to come to a conclusion..like on keystone... than any actual dishonesty. I don't know, and I also don't know if the e-mail stuff amounts to anything. It really doesn't matter. Her past positions and her aura of secrecy, not to mention her top donor list turns me off, and with Bernie around it is a pretty easy choice.

She is still better than any Republican, including Fiorina, but she would not stand up well in a general election against Fiorina...and that is scary. Hopefully Fiorina is just a blip. I do think Bernie would do well against any of the Republicans because of his simple to the point direct style combined with his vast background and knowledge. I pray he is our candidate in the general, not just because I love him, but because he has the best chance to win and the best chance to help us down ticket.

I know it will take time for that reading course, so here's a pointer.

The definition of "swoon" is NOT "was impressed with Carley's performance. Of course almost everything she said was a lie, but she sounds good. "

If you can't put the effort in to cut and paste four paragraphs I'm not wasting my limited bandwidth on clicking a link to find out what the hell you are talking about.
