The Democratic Party no longer exists.

They have lost any connection to it.

They should rename their party, the party of Money and Power.

Who was that incompetent news lady ???

It was physically painful to watch her.

George and Martha.

It's Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf deja vu all over again.

Obama was a guest at one of Martha's weddings, but she and that spouse are now divorced. Thanks, Obama!

I mention that because it was cited when she was named as moderator of one of the Obama Romney debates.

I assume that was her wedding to Genachowski, whom Obama named to head the FCC when Obama took office.

Before that, she was married to Ben Bradlee, Jr. (I'm impressed.)

She is now married to journalist Tom Gjelten.

Shame on you Jennifer. Even YOU know the difference between socialist and democratic socialist.

AND EVEN A FEW IN YOUR FAMILY SUPPORT BERNIE SANDERS! HA!

... disingenuous from the moment she stated those words.

I truly hope that most of the elected politicians that come out bashing Bernie face consequences and LOSE a primary. It is clear that these people will not be helping us implement the policies that most of us want in this country so let's get rid of them. They are fighting AGAINST us, and they need to be informed we are not pleased.

11. Unfortunately, if he does mention it, they will spin it as an attack on 'christians'

I am sure they are hoping he will fall into that trap. There is simply too much nuance required to understand the difference between an ordinary 'prayer breakfast' and a bunch of Dominionists.

In August 2015, months after Hillary Clinton's campaign announcement for the 2016 Presidential Election, Granholm transitioned from Priorities USA Action to Correct the Record, another Clinton-aligned political committee whose classification allows Granholm to serve as a direct "surrogate" for Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail.[54] The increased visibility of her senior role in the Clinton campaign indicates that she may in the running for a U.S. Cabinet position or Democratic National Committee (DNC) leadership should Hillary Clinton be elected in 2016.[55]
Presidential Cabinet Speculation

In September 2014 when Attorney General Eric Holder announced his intention to step down, there was speculation that Granholm might be a potential candidate for the next United States Attorney General.[56] Loretta Lynch was ultimately nominated for the position.

There is on-going speculation that Granholm may be tapped for a Cabinet position as U.S. Secretary of Commerce in a possible Hillary Clinton presidency.[57]

Her wiki also says she was elected to the board of directors of Dow and resigned after 7 months. I would love to know more about that.

And then there was her speech about re-electing Obama.

And now I know she's just another shill for those that want to rule over us.

Fuck off Granholm.

I was laughing with Bernie Sanders when Martha implied, that he was partially responsible for Wall Street tanking recently. A deliberate attempt to paint him against those of us who have 401ks. Nice try but neither ABC, Walk Street or Clinton give a shit about me and mine. Bernie Sanders stands with my economic class
