and in the air. The polls look awful for Sanders tomorrow and Tuesday, and they're whistling past the graveyard at this point.

Part of that is throwing everything at the wall and hoping it sticks--not realizing that DU isn't exactly major news and isn't going to swing many, if any, votes.

What they also fail to realize is that, even if there are one or two truthful statements in the mass of crap, most people just see a mass of crap and won't bother digging through it.

Classically, South Carolina forms the low point of rhetoric on the Dem side and things usually improve from there. This time, I'm thinking we have to tolerate this--at reduced intensity--right up to April.

There is whiskey in the water
And there is death upon the vine
There is fear in the eyes of your father
And there is "Yours" and there is "Mine"
There is a desert veiled in pavement
And there's a city of seven hills
And all our debris flows to the ocean
To meet again, I hope it will

How could something so fair
Be so cruel
When this black sun revolved
Around you

There is an answer in a question
And there is hope within despair
And there is beauty in a failure
And there are depths beyond compare
There is a role of a lifetime
And there's a song yet to be sung
And there's a dumpster in the driveway
Of all the plans that came undone

How could something so fair
Be so cruel
When this black sun revolved
Around you
How could something so fair
Be so cruel
When this black sun revolved
Around you

There is whiskey in the water
And there is death upon the vine
And there is grace within forgiveness
But it's so hard for me to find

How could something so fair
Be so cruel
When this black sun revolved
Around you
How could something so fair
Be so cruel
When this black sun revolved
Around you

Bernie is a fraud and aligning with right wing talking points is just more proof.

Promote. I like promoting Hillary more than thinking negative thoughts all the time. Like the glass is half full rather than half empty.

I've never been big into the theory that many of them are just Republican plants trying to stir up trouble - although I've never doubted that there are at least a few - but seeing it all laid out in one screen shot has me reconsidering that stance.

goes immediately to the land of Ignore. A bunch of Libertarians aka Republicans posing as newly evolved Socialists for the purposes of this primary season. They'll go back to being Libertarians aka Republicans as soon as the primary season is over. Things will probably improve around here as well.
