Jitter65's JournalBernie still refuses to regret his vote for the crime bill. Deflected nicely at the town hall.
If you listen closely to his responses about increasing funding and personnel for defeating ISIS he sounds an awful lot like Hillary. I was surprised.
Another church shooting.

JUST IN: City of Cleveland admits no wrongdoing but agrees to $6,000,000 to settle family's lawsuit in shooting death of Tamir Rice.
Smack down of Mika and Joe alleging that the system is rigged in Hillary's favor and that the Dems
establishment has been stacked against Bernie. They are trying to make it seem that some how Bernie is winning and super delegates are unfairly handicap him. Never mind, that supers do not even vote until the convention. And never mind that in no case have supers overturned the will of the people...use 2008 as an example. And never mind that Bernie is behind in pledged delegates. What is really rigged is the media's game against Hillary as they try to make everything about the Democratic race seem fraud against Bernie. That is what is shameful because folks like Joe and Mika can convince the ill-informed that what they are saying is true.
Another Democrat fights the good fight.

As a senator and candidate for president in 2007, Clinton introduced the Count Every Vote Act, which was co-sponsored by her then-rival Barack Obama. Another then-colleague of hers in the Senate, independent senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders did not cosponsor Clinton's legislation to restore full voting rights to ex-felons. In fact, the earliest federal legislation to restore voting rights that Sanders seemed to have signed onto was filed in 2015, according to findings even by his strong supporters.
Not too many are applauding because VA governor is a Clinton supporter.
About Bernie's "free college tuition at public colleges and universities."
Let's say he gets all the money he says will come from all the sources he has identified.
The money will still come from a finite pot.
The numbers of applying students will surely just about double from the number used to calculate his original costs.
What will be the eligibility criteria?
Who will decide?
What happens to drop outs?
If there are no income criteria, and acceptance is based on testing or scholastic achievements, the rich will still benefit much more than economically disadvantaged applicants who probably have attended disadvantaged schools by teachers and available resources.
What will be the additional resource requirements for all those public colleges?
Will public colleges in all states be treated the same?
Will students still have college choices?
How many times can a student get that money? (hardship drop outs, military service, academic drop outs).
Will parents or students have to pay for unsuccessful matriculation?
Will the new taxes required hurt more than they help?
How will Affirmative Action play?
School choice? Will all public colleges have a standard tuition cost?
We are a confederation of states, unlike Switzerland, Sweden etc. I see more state hoopla and bickering and law suits.
Sad when this great news is virtually ignored because Hillary supporter makes it happen.

Real policies affecting real people where they live and work. Help facing the challenge of change.
This is why I support Hillary Clinton.

Not forgetting those most often overlooked.
"Full ignore" sure makes life easier around here. nt
So how do you feel about Hillary's call for automatic registration?
WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton in a speech on Thursday called for universal, automatic voter registration, saying every citizen in the country should be automatically registered to vote when they turn 18, unless they opt-out.
Clinton spoke at Texas Southern University in Houston, where she was receiving the Barbara Jordan Public-Private Leadership Award. She also said Republican-led efforts in several states to further regulate voting and voter registration disproportionately harm both underrepresented communities and young people, adding that Republicans need to “stop fear mongering” about the “phantom epidemic” of voter fraud.
