These two ladies make it very clear WHY the MSM hasn't given Bernie any air time. The more he gets the higher his poll nos. are going to go. Hillary is hoping to run an Obama type campaign , vaguely Progressive, but not convincing. It's like she saying yea yea yea I'd like to see all this stuff happen , but I'm sure as hell not going to really fight for any of it. She's business as usual and we all know what that means now.

The thing that I wonder with Bernie is how does he work with this hotly divided partisan Congress and Senate. How does Bernie get anything done? Obama who was a right of center Democrat got little done, he was met with obstruction from day one. How does Bernie make any kind of difference since he's left of center? The GOP will go at him constantly. It's got to be diminishing to face that all day every day. Hillary has the temperament to deal with it in my opinion, she can dole it out with ease, that is my humble opinion until proven otherwise. I will place my primary vote on Bernie but then what?

Let me add that I think this coat-tails idea that if Trump or Cruz gets the nomination then maybe the GOP loses the house and senate - I don't buy it. I think it's wishful what if thinking. On the other hand, I'm not paying attention to the senate and house races yet either, and we have to see what happens. But I would not bank on it.

Here's what I think. Doesn't matter to the GOP Congress if it's Hillary or Bernie both will be dissed daily and attacked relentlessly. They hate the Clinton's and the very thought of RED Bernie makes them ill. So, who do you want in office to face them daily? Hillary will cut deals with the Corporatist wing of the GOP and with the Corporatist wing of the D party to get things done. The wrong things for the same old crowd, the banks, the MIC , the Health goons etc. Nothing changes Corp. rule. If that's ok by you then elect Hillary. It's not alright with me. As for Bernie he will fight for the rest of us everyday and veto the Corporatist agenda the GOP and Corp. D's pass. What TRUMP would do is scary. My guess though is he would cut whatever deals he needs for the Corp. oligarchs like himself and screw the rest of us. Plus, he'd swagger his way around the planet threatening and hectoring everyone.

You're right, it won't matter which Dem gets in, the GOTea will still go bonkers. Bernie has been there a long time and knows the ins and outs, I still have doubts about his ability to be presidential - 'inspire the country with his manner'. On the other hand they're pushing Trump who strikes me as being as far from presidential as I've ever seen.

Bernie IMO would win people over with his no nonsense work ethic and his honesty. He's not about popularity he's about getting to work to fix things and fight for the rest of us against the economic royalists that now dominate both parties with their $$. This is why he will win. We need real change and getting someone into office who will cut through all the BS and fight for it. If Obama was about HOPE ( mostly false) then BERNIE is about TRUTH and ACTION. We need both now and you never get anything done in DC unless your willing to fight for it. Obama is being credited with his Healthcare plan , but how hard was it to sell yourself out to the BIG Health Ins. and BIG Pharma and BIG DRS. ( the AMA?) It's these forces that are bankrupting the rest of us and have created a crisis in this country one that will only begin to end when we have a lease on these people and SINGLE PAYER AKA MEDICARE for all is the only way toward that goal. Bernie knows it and will fight for it tooth and nail. Sadly, Hillary won't and has no intention of even trying.
