Here's another one, she! "Top Hispanic Democrat endorses Hillary Clinton"

snip//

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton just clinched another endorsement from top Hispanic Democrat Rep. Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, days before voters cast their ballots in a slew of Super Tuesday states next week.

"Hillary has the determination to defend and expand our country's economic and social progress, and to continue to break down barriers and move our country forward so that opportunity reaches everyone," Luján, the second most senior Hispanic member of Congress and a former vice chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said in a statement Friday. "Every job matters to Hillary and she believes all Americans should have the dignity of a paycheck to raise their families, put a roof over their head, and store away a little money for their children's education at the end of each month."

Luján, who serves as chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in charge of electing Democrats to the House in 2016, also pointed to Clinton's electability ratings as one reason she's drawn his support.

"Hillary has strength, compassion and a sense of responsibility to care for others that is second to none," Luján said. "She has what it takes to connect with a diverse group of voters across the country and will fight to motivate and unite people behind her, which will benefit all Democrats come November."

First tomorrow.. South Carolina! And, then Super Tues.. I hope South Carolina gives Hillary the momentum to help carry her in your Massachusetts, she!

Delores Huerta didn't lie.. And, the people who were there know that. The fact that

that this is caught on video is very damaging to the BS campaign.

The Video of Sarandon talking down to Delores made the Latin Times and from there it has gone to the Latino blogs and Social Media. You do not diss this Latina Workers' Rights' icon and have it go unnoticed by those who care this.

Oh, & FYI.. calling DH a liar is going over as well as the Sarandon vid.

From the link.. looks like they blew it..

Things are tense right now because the Nevada loss is starting to look like a devastating blow to the Sanders campaign. From the beginning, the biggest obstacle to the Sanders campaign was convincing voters that this was about serious change instead of a bunch of privileged people posturing about how radical they are.

Those pics are Awesome, Rose! Virginia McLaurin all those years ago and then

dancing in the White House with President Obama and First Lady Michelle!

Another pic from your link..



She said it was the best day of her life! I read that yesterday on The Obama Diary.

And she wants our girl, Hillary!

"As for the next president she'd love to meet in the White House?

"Hillary Clinton," she says. "I think every human being means something in her life, and she tried to help the person that's less fortunate than the rich person or the person with a lot of money."


Mahalo!

I have thought about it a lot, SunSeeker.. it's very insulting.. to the thinking people's

intelligence.

Congressman James Clyburn after hearing sanders' accusation on BET..



He's like.. "hmmm? You did not just say that.

sanders and his team decided the "issues" weren't working so they'd try this... how's that working out for ya, BS?

bernie was late to the revolution, she.. Excellent ariticle.. thank you!

I've seen members of the Obama Diary talk about this before.

What do they think happened in 2008?! We had a revolution that shocked the repubs so hard they vowed not to help President Obama at all .. at the cost of their country. Their hate for him is stronger than giving a shite about America. Think about that.

"But that's how America works: we have no sense of history. We don't understand just how bad it was right before the 2008 election. In actuality, we were losing 700,000 jobs per month. Unemployment was twice what it was now. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was below 8,000. The financial industry had crashed the global economy and was seemingly continuing those very same actions as if nothing they had done was even wrong. Retirees were losing their life savings. Millennials were unable to find their first jobs and were being crushed by student debt. Our country was bogged down in two costly wars that were contributing to the deteriorating conditions and instability of the Middle East. While all this was going on, the rich in this country, seemingly unaffected by everything going on around them, continued to profit at record levels."

President Obama has been an Excellent President who not only brought us back from the brink but navigated us through so much success! He's been a transformational CIC!

And, I feel sorry for those who refuse to see that.

sanders has railed against Dems for decades.. he wanted President Obama primared in 2012..

for no reason.

He's just not qualified to be president.

Hillary has the experience, the knowledge, and the tenacity to be POTUS.

From the OP..

Senator, you are forming a mob of angry, misinformed people and then turning it on the likely Democratic nominee. That, Senator, is a dangerous and destructive game. Does your campaign honestly wonder why it has become synonymous with nasty online invective? If you mention the Bernie Bros online, fifty people fitting the profile pop up with abusive comments informing you that they don't exist. On the eve of the Nevada caucus, one of your supporters attempted to place an obituary for Secretary Clinton in the Las Vegas Sun-Journal. Don't you think this all might have a little something to do with your "me against the corrupt establishment" bluster?

Spike Lee's Wife's Endorsement For President Is Every Bit As Important To Note As Her Husband's


snip//

But unlike Spike, Tonya isn't feeling the Bern.

Her husband might have the more high-profile career, but Tonya Lee is a powerhouse and political insider in her own right. A native of New York City, she graduated from Sarah Lawrence College and the University of Virginia School of Law before working in a prestigious Washington, D.C. law firm. In 1992, she met her husband at the Congressional Black Caucus Weekend, and the couple has been together ever since. Tonya later started her own production company, and helped produce the award-winning documentary I Sit Where I Want: The Legacy of Brown v. Board of Education.
