How Bernie Is Preparing For The Debate

[Green Forest]

The debate moderator looked at the woman in a dark pantsuit standing beside Senator Bernie Sanders and said, “Secretary Clinton, we’ll give you one minute for an opening statement.”

“I have a lot of experience in leadership,” the woman said Saturday from behind a music stand in a room overlooking Lake Champlain. “We need someone who is going to be able to stand up to the terrorists, who has really been tested in this way, and no one else on the stage can make that claim.”

The woman, Michaeleen Crowell, 41, is a policy wonk whose day job is chief of staff in Mr. Sanders’s Senate office. But in her off hours these days, she is the senator’s practice Hillary.

“She’s keeping me on my toes,” Mr. Sanders said.

2. Oh, so Hillary leaked what President Obama was going to do to puff herself up in SC, eh?

I hope she did not cause the Obama administration any discomfort by stepping on their toes. I can't wait to read the book on this later.
