The Blue Nation Review insinuations about how he brushed off Jane

were the last straw for me. Bernie-bashing as concern trolling.

Anybody who cites BNR is advancing David Brock's propaganda.

I like both

The sweetest cornbread I have had came from a Luby's cafeteria. Honestly, all this time I thought they were using some of that slightly fermented sweet corn to produce the taste. And yes, it does seem more like cake than bread.

As long as mine has a little jalapeno in it and a slightly singed crust, I'm not complaining.

Has anybody been called a Sandbagger yet?

This is a fresh ad hominem, at least in my experience.

Scroll down to the comments, and see Mrs. Wheatley's FB contribution to the dialogue:

She wants to sit on her lead there

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/ny/new_york_democratic_presidential_primary-4221.html

538.com appears to project a tie and an almost even split of the 247 delegates at stake. (This strikes me as CYA on their part after all the wrong calls.)

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/delegate-targets/democrats/

So if the polls are accurate and stable for another three weeks and she wins NY on something like 2-1 or greater, then the morning after April 19 you will hear the loudest spinning you have ever heard for Bernie to exit the race. California's primary, where Clinton currently holds just a 7-point lead. is a far-away June 7.

This running-out-the-clock gambit is why she's coming under such withering criticism.

That was a gaffe by Benenson

Fair point

but they just don't care about those things. They just want to win (or see a woman in the White House, or something similarly shallow) and they don't care what they have to do or say to make that happen.

Prior to an election ... is it the candidate or is it the camp? After the election is a much easier answer, of course.

As in 8 or 9 years ago, personally

And it should have been lost five years earlier than that, if I'm really honest with myself about it.

Don't discount Jesse Ventura as the Lib candidate

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/02/29/jesse-ventura-i-ll-run-for-president-if-bernie-loses.html

It's rather surreal reading that article, considering the Beast's Clinton bias and what appears to be a few contradictory statements by Jesse the Body. But keep in mind he was the second of two actors in Predator to have been elected governor of a so-called liberal state.

"Get to the choppah!"

"I misspoke" is not an apology.

That's Rachel conflating for her candidate.
