Hillary is right. Bernie trashed Obama's policies routinely to me and other reporters, especially in 2011-2013 period.

... a pleasant memory (although you did so inadvertently, I'm sure).

When I was in HS in NY back in the '60s, we used the word "boss" as a euphemism for "cool"; e.g. "Those new boots are so boss," or, "That cute guy in English class is totally boss!"

If someone or something was the epitome of "boss", they were referred to as "boss-A".

We even had a very young and enlightened American History teacher who made us write an essay on "Why the Constitution makes the US a Boss-A Country".

So when I read "Hillary Clinton is Boss!", my first thought was yeah, she is - actually, I'd say she's Boss-A!

I used to donate via ActBlue, but they've become such a hard-to-deal-with site that I shut them down in frustration. It's too bad, because my frequency and total of donations has gone way down because they're so hard to use now.

No matter how much money Bernie raises, he always says the average donation is $27.never wavers by even a dollar.

I suppose some people think he's pulling the number out of his ass. I think it just shows that once something goes into his head, it's stuck there, like a mastodon in a tar pit.

From Josh Marshall:

"I will say that I thought Hillary's close was a key moment in the debate, perhaps in the campaign. It's not that she crushed him or anything. But it was the first time I heard her pull together her essential message in a coherent, memorable way. Here's the key passage ...

We agree we've got to get unaccountable money out of politics. We agree that Wall Street should never be allowed to wreck main street again. But here's the point I want to make tonight. I am not a single-issue candidate and I do not believe we live in a single-issue country. I think that a lot of what we have to overcome to break down the barriers that are holding people back, whether it's poison in the water of the children of Flint or whether it's the poor miners who are being left out and left behind in coal country, or whether it is any other American today who feels somehow put down and depressed by racism, by sexism, by discrimination against the lgbt community against the kind of efforts that need to be made to root out all of these barriers, that's what I want to take on.

In a sense, it's just another recitation of her laundry list of to-dos. But here it's a coherent critique of Sanders. It's memorable. Something you can frame a key part of a campaign around. One can buy it or not buy it. But I think Hillary has many potential supporters who've been listening to her and found her just sort of scattered and all over the place. I imagine that when Hillary and Bernie supporters argue over their candidates, you'll have Hillary supporters come back to "She's not a single issue candidate." It sums it all up.

My only other big takeaway was that there was a palpable sense in this debate, though I wouldn't tie it to any single moment, that we're now on to parts of the country where the Democratic electorate is not made up solely of white liberals. How this all plays in that very different political terrain will of course tell the final story. I think they both had good debates. But I think she helped herself a bit more."


This is what I'm seeing more of - Reliably Liberal voices noting the Achilles Heel of Sanders - a one issue candidate.
