….of Bill's—all folksy. There's a Clinton biographer that my friends are quoting to me, who wrote, "Bill Clinton is an authentic phony". I think that describes Bill exactly.

Same guy goes on to say something along the lines that she lacks Bill's skill—and is bad at it—hence, one isn't as willing to be conned by her. Hillary's phoniness is telegraphed!

The writer who said this may be a conservative operative, so I'm not endorsing him, but I that distinction between the two Clintons right on target.

Also, I think it's telling that Bernie has been asking us for money from day one, but that she's had enough for many months from her rich donors—and is only coming to us now. To me, that contains the whole damn problem.

Go Bernie!
