46. That poor guy--tried like hell to be governor of CT; was crushed like a bug, wonder why?

Maybe he's not 'all that' in the political analysis game....?

When you get to playing the "seems to feel like" card, it's important to be accurate. HRC people don't post here much anymore--most of the articles I am seeing are from Sanders supporters. Those three I mentioned were the most recent three articles I had read at the time I made my observations. If you want to throw a few more "oppositional" logs on the fire that also demonstrate my thesis, please, be my guest.

It is a primary, and yes, we are going to disagree, but that doesn't mean we have to tolerate outright lies --that are STUPID, and easily proven to be complete nonsense, as the ones I mentioned were-- as part and parcel of the process. Like I said, this place is looking like That Place That Will Not Be Named, based on the intelligence level of some of the posts. Those three were bogus. CNN did not move the debate time (either to hurt Bernie or for other nefarious reasons), DWS did not "disinvite" a rep who is ALSO a DNC official, an aide told her to tone down her rhetoric; and the Globe did not write a "hit piece" article on him--they wrote an article that had lots of praise for his talents in it, and admiring assessments from his OPPONENT.

This is the truth, plain and simple. But the lies about those three threads have travelled halfway round the world already.

My point is simply this 99th_Monkey Oct 2015 #25
So, you're saying with a debate looming, we should not talk about debate styles? Seriously? MADem Oct 2015 #27
It's fine to discuss debate styles, ok. 99th_Monkey Oct 2015 #33
