Mahalo Rose!

Mr. Sanders regularly assures his audiences that he respects Mr. Obama and Ms. Clinton. But he attacks the pragmatism they have built their legacies on, even though they had no other option. The system — and by this we mean the constitutional structure of checks and balances — requires policymakers to settle for incremental changes. Mr. Obama has scored several ambitious but incomplete reforms that have made people’s lives better while ideologues on both sides took potshots. A key question in the Democratic race is which candidate would duplicate the president’s work and which would settle for rock-throwing.

"Then there was Sanders's insistence that he would be better on race relations than Obama, a slip

that you can be sure that the Clinton campaign will make sure African American voters hear about (and then hear about some more) in the coming days and weeks."

And, why not? It wasn't a "slip".

Sanders ranks himself better than @POTUS on race relations, than @HillaryClinton on women's issues, than Ted Kennedy on human rights. Wow
