Kudos to Bernie for surviving this interview by Andrea Mitchell.

83. I realize that MSNBC wanted to create a stir by asking about the Clintons...

and Bernie has done a really good job of sticking to his campaign as he sees it. He won't fall for a trap.

OTOH, Hillary has also avoided coming out against either Bernie (or even Obama). She has named repubs and specifically described their policy problems. She has not gone after the other Democratic candidates.

Both candidates have been reserved on personal attacks so far.

As the campaigns gear up, Bernie will face more "dirty rumors" from the right wingers, just as the Clintons have been dealing with for decades. The birth certificate BS hasn't showed up much with Bernie yet. The dual citizenship FB list was just the beginning I fear. Stay tuned for more surprises because we know they are coming.

That's the way that Karl Rove, Cheney, the Koch brothers, and similar repubs work. I just finished reading "Sons of Wichita: How the Koch Brothers Became America's Most Powerful and Private Dynasty". If you really want to see how crazy and immoral one family can be - read that book. They make underhanded cheating, lying, and stealing into an art while rationalizing themselves into being "right". If it wasn't for fighting among themselves, they may have been even more powerful and rich than they are now.

TV stations and the media are owned and controlled, so don't expect them to stick to the issues; ever! They will create controversy or bring up crap about any candidate. Morning Joe was on Hillary's case all morning this week. I'm sure Martin O'Malley will see some BS soon too.
