Still no news on whether the stage is pointed directly at Wall Street for Bernie’s finger-wagging. I guess that’s not a need to know item. : (
I hope she crushes him by keeping her cool and sending his ill temper into orbit.
Bah. Shock wave compression from Bernie finger-wagging will literally vaporize Clinton at the molecular level.
This is make-or-break for Bernie, if he loses NY he loses the rest of the NE by a similar amount, and ends up having to win everything else by 20-30 points (which isn’t going to happen, especially in CA). The question is which Bernie is going to show up tonight, the one that didn’t care about emails or the one that thinks Clinton is unqualified. Angry Bernie loses the election, but Angry Bernie may be the only chance he sees to fire up his (to this point imaginary) revolution. Should be interesting to watch.
Well, here we go. The Sanders peeps may regret insisting on another debate, because my take away from the last ones is Sen. Sanders comes off as an old curmudgeon shaking his rake at those banker kids. Of course there will be rapturous pronouncements of his performance during and after by his partisans, but real world undecideds will probably have a different take. I kept telling the Sanders campaign “Careful what you wish for” regarding another debate. It’s like their fixation on the transcripts to that Goldman speech. The subject matter was women in the industry and the issues they face. Another brought up Dodd-Frank and a call to examine what’s working, what didn’t in the 2008 meltdown. Another GS employee said she told the audience the meltdown wasn’t Goldman’s fault ( which it wasn’t ) and that some other dark entities may need regulating. Is that going to hurt her ? Doubtful. It will probably help. Unless you’re convinced we don’t need banks in our financial system. Which some of the more naive among the left appear to believe.
Everything You Need To Know About CNN’s Brooklyn Democratic Debate
This?
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer will moderate the event
Hopefully Secretary Clinton will let Senator Sanders answer without interrupting. I do plan on getting beer and popcorn. This is must see TV.
=)
I hope you’re not crying in your beer when it’s over. 
Yes, you would.
I’ve always been certain that these ‘transcripts’ might prove to be another ‘long form birth certificate’ for Hillary.
Now if Sanders will release his tax returns, or the transcripts of his speeches in Cuba and Nicaragua we might have something to discuss, though probably not.
It’s been quite the other way around as far as I have seen. He’s finger waggling and yelling, “Please, please” as she speaks.
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer will moderate the event on his home network, with additional questions provided by CNN’s Dana Bash
Just shoot me in the fucking head right now.
We must be watching different debates.
Bernie lost the election in mid (if not early) March, the media’s been carrying his water for him ever since. The issue is will his legacy be one where he builds the Democratic party (the only party and the only congress people accepting of his “vision”) or will he trash the place on his way out.
About damn time somebody said it!
I really want to believe he’ll do a Hillary Clinton and do whatever he has to do, move whatever mountains necessary to deliver his voters to HRC. I want to believe he’ll play such a pivotal part in ensuring HRC’s landslide victory that his ideas will be simply impossible to ignore. I want to believe that.
This really is an important question…until the past two weeks I would have expected Bernie to make sure Hillary was elected and throw everything behind her. Now, I’m not so sure…the rhetoric from him, his campaign, and especially some of his supporters, really sounds like they would rather take Hillary down than admit defeat. I suppose we’ll find out in June which way he is going to play it out.
I want to believe that, too. But he is making it harder and harder for himself as he continues to burn bridges among the party faithful, and as his attacks against Hillary are becoming increasingly personal and unhinged – at a time when he is almost mathematically unable to win the nomination.
I just don’t see how he can make the pivot. Increasingly, I see him as a sore loser in the mold of John McCain or Ralph Nader. He’ll take his ball and go home, and all the starry-eyed dudebros and lovesick coeds will follow him.
Rumor has it that there’s going to be a reboot of Scooby-Do Where Are You?
Bernie wants to be the first guest villain—he’s had so much practice telling those kids to get of his lawn.
That made me howl.
