29. Yes, she did it twice

Wed Apr 6, 2016, 02:04 PM

Apr 2016

And sustained them for much longer than normal, like it was just so hilarious that she just couldn't stop laughing. It was as phony as it gets.

I think the questions were cleared in advance. It was basically the same line of questioning this morning from both Morning Joe and from Chris Cuomo (on Wolf Blitzer's show while Wolf was sidelined for the interview for some reason). Every question pointed Hillary at Bernie and gave her a free run at him.

I had CNN on for awhile after the interview with the sound muted and when they are talking about the Democrats they are doing the work of the Clinton campaign. It's all questions about the NY Daily News interview with sections highlighted on guns, breaking up the banks, etc. Nothing about Bernie winning Wisconsin to make it 6 of the last 7, Bernie killing Hillary in fundraising without holding fundraisers, exit poll results that show Hillary getting killed with voters under 40, etc.
