due to women overwhelmingly defecting to Bernie in droves, HC is bringing many female Senators to NH

Just now on MSNBC, Andrea Mitchell says that due to "women overwhelmingly defecting to Bernie in droves," Hillary is bringing many female Senators and other supporters to New Hampshire to offer some "pretty powerful optics" in support of Hillary.

in this very anti-establishment election cycle: "I'm an Establishment politician!" Yes, ladies, let's get a good, long look at you and commit your names to memory for when you come up for re-election.

That sounds so much like the tea party, promising to primary an office holder because they dared work for your opponent. That plus not showing to vote in off year elections is one reason that we lost the senate and the house.

Are committed to the conservative status quo of politics. Sanders 'revolution' as he said in his own words, is about politics itself, not even the economic themes that underlie his ideology. Blue Dog types SHOULD be worried about Sanders voters refusing to return them to unearned positions of power and wealth.

She had several female Senators campaigning for her all over Iowa.

She had Lena Dunham and Jamie Lee Curtis as well.

Lena Dunham made a few appearances in Iowa City on the U of I campus.

The caucus results for precincts on the U of I campus--Sanders earned 18 delegates; Clinton 3.

That's about 11 percent for Clinton.

I thought that only old white male voters voted for Bernie in Iowa?

I mean, that's the narrative being put forth by the DNC and that Bernie is going to get spanked in areas that aren't White Male Middle aged.....

What does this say about Clinton? She won't publicly recognize that young women "in droves" aren't voting for her, yet her actions speak loudly

HRC did gain a bit in NH which is expected but she is still trailing significantly. In the national polls, Sen Sanders has closed her lead and now he only trails by a couple of points. http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/2016-new-hampshire-presidential-democratic-primary

In 1980, Feinstein married Richard C. Blum, an investment banker. In 2003, Feinstein was ranked the fifth-wealthiest senator, with an estimated net worth of $26 million. By 2005 her net worth had increased to between $43 million and $99 million. Dianne Feinstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dianne_FeinsteinWikipedia


I can do this all day ... who else is Hillary bringing with her from the country club?
