Bernie got lots of hype for attending the picket march by the local CWA in their strike against Verizon.
Verizon is one of the places that paid Hillary $225,000 for one of her talks.
The CWA has already endorsed Bernie, both locally and nationally.
She attended their picket line to show support anyways.
Was very well received--some chants of "Hill-a-ree" and a top national union guy thanking her for swinging by, saying "we'll be there for you."
Hillary leads by 13. Over Trump. In Georgia.
Ted Cruz too.

Would Bernie try to compete there?
Clinton leads Trump and Cruz. In Georgia.
http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/LRPmemo.GeorgiaDemocraticParty.F.041116.pdfClinton 50-37 vs Drumpf, 47-40 vs the Zodiac Killer.
Maybe Bernie and his 35-37 state strategy are missing something.
Clinton gets endorsement from diverse coalition of immigrant groups
Clinton accepted the endorsement from the New York State Immigrant Action Fund in Manhattan on Wednesday, where she pledged to create formal channels designed to help immigrants integrate into communities across the United States.
The endorsement is a major win for the Clinton campaign in gaining support from a broad collection of communities that have roots across every continent. The group’s diversity mirrors the demographics of New York City, marking a boost for Clinton ahead of next week’s primary that extends beyond the burgeoning political power of the Latino voting bloc.
“This is a diverse community. We’re not Texas, we’re not California,” Steve Choi, executive director of the New York Immigration Action Coalition, told MSNBC. “Whether you’re talking about the Ecuadorian immigrants in the East End or Burmese immigrants in Buffalo, through that connection we have a deep insight to the unique needs of New York as a whole.”

Clinton earns backing of New York electrical workers union
http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-dem-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/04/ny-electrical-workers-endorse-hillary-clinton-221901The endorsement of the union, which represents 27,000 area members, comes on the same day the 42,000-member Transport Workers Union Local 100 announced that it would be supporting Bernie Sanders for next Tuesday's primary.
Sharpton teases de Blasio over "C.P. time" joke
http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/city-hall/2016/04/8596532/sharpton-teases- de-blasio-over-cp-time-joke"Y’all got to leave all these jokes alone," Sharpton said. "Just, don’t even talk about race for a while. There’ll be others. Have a drink of water, Scott."
(Stringer had spoken earlier, employing his familiar refrain that corporate boards are “too male,” “too pale” and “too stale.”)
Sharpton’s remarks drew laughs and applause from de Blasio and Stringer, along with the audience at the Sheraton in Midtown.
This seems to be the appropriate response.
