sarae's JournalBernie Sanders and Donald Trump Essentially Agree to a California Debate
Is it just me or is this incredibly disrespectful? He's trying to delegitimize the fact that Clinton is winning (has won) the Dem nomination by circumventing her and using Trump to do it. I'm sure Trump LOVES it.http://www.forwardprogressives.com/bernie-sanders-donald-trump-agree-california-debate/?utm_campaign=shareaholic&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=socialnetwork
If I debated him, we would have such high ratings. And I think, I should give, I should take that money and find some worthy charity, Trump said.
Be that as it may, Sanders was eager to put the presumptive GOP nominee on the spot by agreeing to debate him, tweeting this after Trumps comment:
"Game on. I look forward to debating Donald Trump in California before the June 7 primary."
Jeff Weaver accused Senator Barbara Boxer of lying about feeling threatened in Nevada.
Joy Reid tweeted this: https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/735267570144686080
And here's a video of him saying it on CNN:

David Brooks Writes Column Titled 'Why Is Clinton Disliked?' That Does Not Contain the Word 'Woman'
Jia Tolentino wrote a hilariously scathing response to David Brooks' article. People are so reluctant to call sexism out; I understand why (because people jump on you when you point it out), but we'll never get anywhere without acknowledging it's existence.
For the first time, we have two candidates with historically high unfavorable ratings. One of them is a complete raging buffoonish asshole who has managed to insult almost everyone alive, while the other is an exceedingly qualified traditional candidate that fact-checking shows to be more honest than traditional politicians. For David Brooks to not even raise the suggestion that gender may be the distinguishing factor is unbelievably obtuse.

That is literally the best idea hes got.
Trump trolls trying to divide Bernie and Hillary supporters
And they specifically mention targeting DU:
WARNING: possibly NSFW

go to general discussion: primaries board and they fight like crazy using arguments that never convince the other side
New evidence of Trump trolls plotting to divide Dems
I wonder how many are on DU?
Recent chat logs have come to light which indicate that certain users of 4chan have been systematically targeting Democratic-leaning posts and social media users, inciting them with inflammatory material in an attempt to spur division between the Hillary and Bernie camps.

You're not gonna believe this, but...
Sanders is apparently considering seeking a recount in Kentucky.
I just read it here:

The Right Baits the Left to Turn Against Hillary Clinton
This article is a year old, but I think it's important to remember. How many of these online anti-Hillary "Bernie supporters" are really Right-Wing trolls? I know it's been discussed before, but I didn't know they launched such a large-scale operation a full year ago.

Once McCain was GOP nominee in 2008 & Clinton was still in, polls found McCain slightly up on Obama.
So this has helped calm me...

Donald Trump's National Finance Chairman Is One of Wall Street's Elite
Trump has no ground to stand on if he tries to go after Hillary on her ties to Wall Street:

Currently the chairman and CEO of Dune Capital Management LP (which has lent to Trump on development deals, including Trump Tower in Chicago), Mnuchin has given about $71,000 to Democrats since 1998, according to Reuters, and $37,000 to Republicans. Im not a traditional fund-raiserI think that was part of the appeal I had for Donald, Mnuchin told the New York Times on Monday. I have given to Democrats in the past. Ive always believed in supporting the best candidate at the time.
