Dishonest pro-Hillary economists attack Sanders economist Friedman

But several prominent economists have come to Friedman's defense. Even Krugman was criticized for following the public line by these pro-Hillary establishment economists. That's below-the-belt campaigning. Bernie has done nothing like that. He's stay issues-oriented and almost monotonously on-message. One change I'd like to see in his message is his history of changing governments by hiring honest and smart outsiders. He doesn't message that at all and yet that's what made the difference in Burlington - a town he changed for the better. He should let people know that his administrators will not come from corporations like Rubin but from non-corporate places. His message needs to evolve a little bit and what better message than to tell Americans there are good people out there and they don't work for corporations.

The Sanders 'Economic Plan' Controversy

Wow! As I write, Chris Hayes has Robby Mook, campaign manager for Hillary, claiming Bernie's numbers don't add up and how he wants to raise taxes I wonder if they'll put a Bernie defender up to rebut? They did! Jeff Weaver. Of course, Hayes is arguing with Weaver.
