She could so easily be President if she ever just told the damn truth...

The Pro Hill media spots went crazy today. The Emilys list people tried to get on every media outlet they could telling how disappointed they are that the Sanders camp has stooped to the low Republican name calling.

My fave is that Hillary told everyone tonight she is and always has been in favor of $15 an hour wages...Sanders wasnt ready for her 180 and thus didnt have the quote, time and date that she stated she was a $12, in "Todays dollars"

Feb 12

"As president, I will work to raise the federal minimum wage back to the highest level it’s ever been  —  $12 an hour in today’s dollars  —  and support state and local efforts to go even further."

I will just guess that she will spin the "Todays Dollars" into $15 an hour...

She could so easily be President if she ever just told the damn truth...

Did anyone watch it? Am I correct in assuming it was like every other debate, where Bernie crushes her and then every media outlet inexplicably says she won?

Well, as somebody who spent many months of my life when I was a kid in Israel, who has family in Israel, of course Israel has a right not only to defend themselves, but to live in peace and security without fear of terrorist attack. That is not a debate.

But what you just read, yeah, I do believe that. Israel was subjected to terrorist attacks, has every right in the world to destroy terrorism. But we had in the Gaza area — not a very large area — some 10,000 civilians who were wounded and some 1,500 who were killed.

Now, if you're asking not just me, but countries all over the world, "was that a disproportionate attack," the answer is that I believe it was, and let me say something else.

As somebody who is 100 percent pro-Israel, in the long run -- and this is not going to be easy, God only knows, but in the long run if we are ever going to bring peace to that region which has seen so much hatred and so much war, we are going to have to treat the Palestinian people with respect and dignity.

So what is not to say -- to say that right now in Gaza, right now in Gaza unemployment is somewhere around 40 percent. You got a lot of that area continues, it hasn't been built, decimated, houses decimated health care decimated, schools decimated. I believe the United States and the rest of the world have got to work together to help the Palestinian people.

That does not make me anti-Israel. That paves the way, I think to an approach that works in the Middle East.

Lots of attacks on Hillary and none of them really landed.

We find out soon, if she takes NY its all over.

Did anyone watch it?

Aside from CH, Rick & Ruffcorn, it really doesn't sound like anyone did "for more than a few minutes".

I couldn't bring myself to watch a single minute.

I watched the highlights.

None of the attacks really registered. He isn't going to win this election because Hillary accepts donations from corporations. For some reason, he keeps on going after that.

I didn't even watch it. I forgot. I was watching the Islanders game and then swimming. Totally slipped my mind. But from the crumbs I've picked up this morning, looks like another night of the usual, Hillary dissembles, Bernie lands a verbal haymaker, then lets up on her so that she can do it again. Then after it's over the pundits say "such rhetorical, much presidential, very impress, wow."

I really believe that as he has been cloistered in Vermont much of the last 40 years, he has fallen far out of touch with the fickle nature of the people of this country. They, we need something new and shiny every 45 days or so, kind of like pop music. Imo, it's more evidence that the people running his campaign really didn't take it seriously as anything other than a protest job and have had zero long term planning.

Well, Tad Devine is his principal strategist. He's a complete idiot. None of the top Democratic talent wanted to work with Sanders because they all saw/see him as a loser.

Sanders always reminds me of the people I grew up around in Hyde Park in the 1970-80s (or maybe better old Ald. Leon Despres). Full of fire and great ideas, but unless you were talking about small projects like preserving Promontory Point or the old South Shore Country Club's possible demolition they were going to run out of steam & support really quickly. When they didn't, despite how smart they were, they invariably found themselves lost in new details.

I really almost wish Sanders' wife took charge earlier, she seems to be much, much more the pragmatist & quick study.

The biggest problem I have with the "political revolution" is that it's a one-man band. Where are the downballot candidates running on his beliefs?

The political class will probably win again, which is basically kicking the can down the road for another few years. The fact that Trump is popular, and Sanders is giving Hilary a run means that things could get ugly the next downturn around.

Its a class that Sanders is and has been firmly entrenched in for pretty much his entire adult life. That is one of the fundamental problems with thinking of his candidacy as anything other than what it is; a run of the mill political campaign.
