Exercise: sum up each candidate's overarching theme in one short sentence
Bernie: All thing are possible when we stand (and fight) together.
Hillary: Stand with me because I'm experienced and know how to effect change.
Bernie Sanders is the most ego driven person in politics
Even more so than Donald Trump.
This is a Hillary supporter meme I'm seeing suddenly on several sites.
This meme is so unrelated to the evidence and reality that it's mind boggling.
The Elephant and Donkey in the room
The media keeps characterizing it as anti-establishment. But why is their such strong anti-establishment sentiment in both parties as well as independents?
That's easy:
C-O-R-R-U-P-T-I-Or-N
The American people view their government and parties are corrupt.
Evidently, Hillary supporters would have had no problem with Bernie running
as an independent.
Ah, for the halcyon days of May, when they commended him for running as a Democrat.
Now? Bernie shouldn't have been allowed to run as a Democrat.
Whatever can account for the change.
(And Debbie, the "Bernie isn't a Democrat" whiny crap coming from you, is particularly funny)
I threw Fareed Zakaria under the bus years ago
I threw anyone who supported the fucking Iraq war under the bus. It's my litmus test, if you will, for politicians and supposedly liberal pundits.

Get ready for a lot more insinuations that Bernie is a racist
from Hill's camp in the next week. Just as in the lead up to Nevada where we've seen Hillary's surrogates claim that Bernie is anti-immigrant and xenophobic, in the lead up to SC, they'll lie about him.
It's how the Clinton machine operates: Lies, smears and innuendo.
Four-year-old sentenced to life in prison for murder in Egypt. (1 at the time of alleged crime)
An Egyptian court has sentenced a four-year-old boy to life in prison for “committing murder” when he was aged just one.
Ahmed Mansour Karmi was not in court on Tuesday when he was convicted of four counts of murder, eight of attempted murder, one vandalisation of property and another count of threatening soldiers and police officers - all before his second birthday.
Ahmed was one of 115 defendants who were all handed life sentences at the same time at the court in western Cairo for crimes allegedly committed in early 2014.
His defence attorney, Faisal al-Sayd, told the Jerusalem Post the child’s name had been added to the list by mistake but the court did not pass Ahmed’s birth certificate on to the judge to prove he was born in September 2012.
He said: "The child Ahmed Mansour Karni's birth certificate was presented after state security forces added his name to the list of accused, but then the case was transferred to the military court and the child was sentenced in absentia in an ensuing court hearing.
"This proves that the judge did not read the case".

Hillary's Campaign grows more Brockish every passing day
They have tried their best for months to make Bernie look like a racist, sexist xenophobic, feeble old white man who is lying about who he is and his past. Hundreds of attacks from Hill surrogates. Dozens of attacks from Madame Secretary herself. Hillary Clinton has no compunction about using Lee Atwood inspired attacks.
So far, it hasn't worked very well, but whether it does or doesn't, it's already coming back to bite her. And that will only intensify.

Big old hat tip to Ichingcarpenter, who pointed out down thread that brockish is a real world meaning beastly and brutal
