So we keep on message.

Both Warren and Sanders are excellent leaders in that way, in not only staying focused themselves but in helping us stay focused and determined - or at least those of us who are attuned to the same issues as they espouse.

This 2016 US election cycle has attuned me to the power of money and fame.
Nothing in my life prepared me to be faced with a pic of Kim Kardashian's selfie with Hillary Clinton, on the front of those weird tabloid/movie/exploitation magazines that they flog at the cashier stations of supermarkets.
This being a centerpiece of Hillary Clinton's campaign. It was part of her campaign.
It didn't give me a pounding headache. I survived it even though I don't understand it, or like it.
Maybe I'm like a cockroach in that way, that I can survive just about anything.

Yes 'take Sanders down' is definitely what it looked like. JudyM Apr 2016 #16

While campaigning now in critical NY, my sense is Bernie will do as many media appalachiablue Apr 2016 #17

Typical Charlie Rose! bjo59 Apr 2016 #29

Bernie did well in the interview, from what I've seen and heard about it sketchy Apr 2016 #4

Thanks, just watched. It's pretty bad, actually, IMO. Rose kept hammering him and bringing up JudyM Apr 2016 #13

I was disappointed in Bernie pandora nm Apr 2016 #5

That would've wreaked such havoc within the party, though, probably why he hung back, eh? JudyM Apr 2016 #6

I agree. That's for the voters to decide n/t TexasBushwhacker Apr 2016 #8

I didn't see it. SheilaT Apr 2016 #11

Yeah, Bernie never got control of the interview enough to hit Clinton on anything squarely, nor to JudyM Apr 2016 #14

Too bad. SheilaT Apr 2016 #21

There is blame enough to go around and Hillary gets part of it. JDPriestly Apr 2016 #27

You make excellent points. JudyM Apr 2016 #31

Give your brother a copy of the book, Outsider in the White House by Bernie Sanders. JDPriestly Apr 2016 #26

Interesting idea, thanks! He probably won't give it the time, unfortunately, with his schedule JudyM Apr 2016 #32

Didn't watch but Charlie Rose is absolutely insufferable, no matter who he's interviewing... bjo59 Apr 2016 #28
