2. Maybe so. That was the tail end of the interview, never fails for me. The story of the Vet

at Denny's in Burlington who thanked Bernie for all, being a main reason the Sanders' decided to enter the race I'd seen somewhere a bit ago. The interview with CNN's Gloria Borger it was. Jane seems like a very real, smart and effective person. And as Bernie said, 'she's my soulmate'. Nice.

At the beginning of the show Mark Halperin and John Heinemann were both very positive on Bernie winning Iowa and quite critical of the state of the Clinton campaign.

They played Hillary's new ad and then Bernie's 'America' ad.

The Clinton ad they said was a general election message, not an Iowa or New Hampshire message ... basically she is going to the 'commander-in-chief' stuff because she doesn't know what else to say.

They both loved the Bernie ad.

There was a New Hampshire political analyst on who said Hillary is robotic and is rerunning her 2008 campaign because she simply does not know how to do it differently. He was up on Sander because he has a message!

I take these political shows with a grain of salt, but what Halperin and Heinemann said today comports with everything else I'm hearing. It looks very good for Sanders.

6. Thanks for the report, I just caught the end. Well said about taking pundit pieces

with a grain of salt. MSNBC has totally transformed, I rarely watch it anymore. Someone said the Chris Hayes show was really red baiting last night and not even mild about it.

Bernie scolded them when he first appeared on their show for not asking substantive questions.
He scared them, and they seem to have decided they like that.
They are of course one of those pundits ostensibly (or perhaps through and through), but they've also been around long enough to tell apart the real deal from a herd of fake, calculating politicians.
That Showtime thing about Bernie was beautiful. You can't make something like that without having an affection for the object.
They're some of very few people on TV that I can trust with giving half-decent commentary on Bernie.

Or maybe if I search on youtube later. I'm only marginally computer literate. Sad case, I am!
