that they actually asked a hard ball question. This, as hard as you try, is not about HRC but a very dysfunctional media system... access, it is about access.

I expect nothing less from our dysfunctional media. And just becuase I do not agree with you 99.999999 percent of the time (WATCH OUT FOR THAT LARGE PIG NOW), it does not mean I have endorsed Bernie. The only one to be endorsed in this race is big money.

Oh and I will add, we have not been a working functional democracy for a while now. I know it... so one clown or the other makes little difference. One is a road to hell very fast, the other on the slow lane.

He has to because he has next to zero name recognition. LOLZ KittyWampus May 2015 #6

That can be a real problem too, depending on the 'recognition'. Bernie's name recognition is growing sabrina 1 May 2015 #14
