In reply to the discussion: Does anyone know how much Senator Sanders pays his campaign workers. [View all]Divernan
(15,480 posts)137. Evidently wants to take over the role of Diane Blair
The papers of Diane Blair, a political science professor Hillary Clinton described as her closest friend before Blairs death in 2000, record years of candid conversations with the Clintons on issues ranging from single-payer health care to Monica Lewinsky, including Hillary's need for, in Hillary's own word, "revenge".

OOOOOOOhhhhhh, Be Afraid! Puglover! Be very afraid!
Shortly before Hillary Clintons effort to pass health care reform died in the summer of 1994, the first lady asked a close friend and confidant for advice on how best to preserve her general memories of the administration and of health care in particular.
When asked why, according to the friends June 20, 1994, diary entry, Clinton said, Revenge.
That exchange is among thousands of pages of notes, letters, and diary entries penned by Diane Blair, a political science professor and longtime Clinton friend whose papers were donated to the University of Arkansas after her death in 2000.
Blair worked on Bill Clintons two presidential campaigns and advised the president and first lady throughout their eight years in the White House. In particular, she was very close with Hillary Clinton, who called Blair her closest friend in her 2003 memoir Living History.

OP
"Flamebait"? Why is asking a question about Bernie "flamebait"? Is that just a stock retort

To be honest, in Bernie's case, it's not an election per se, but a revolution.

If they'd stop fighting the Bern and just go with it maybe they'd be less irritable.

I agree with the problem of compression, and any minimum wage would erode eventually.

Excellent point. I hope Hillary does the same with her staff as to pay.

Ouch. Well, you know Republicans would use that in a general election. And it would be devastating.
