So journalists pressing him for in-depth explanations and answers on how he would do the things he campaigns on is now like an infamous episode of torture in history?
Are you shitting me?
Does she have a clue what the job is her hubby is running for?
Well Itās no secret that rag is a tabloidā¦so why did he do it? As for the paceā¦itās easyā¦āsir you asked me a questionā¦Ill answer it or ill walkā¦you pickā
Then Prez Bernie responded to Putin by yelling that he is gonna break up the banks and that Hillary has poor jusgement. Putin was frightened away.
Then the Prez got a token and road the subway home.
Yes, the part of the interview where Jane said she hasnāt been home much from the campaign trail and doesnāt remember where she put their taxes, etc. was downright uncomfortable to watch.
Whiners to the left of me, Whiners to the right. All of them need to shut up.
Every time the Sanders campaign complains that āshe started itā or āit was an inquisitionā I think of Hillary sitting through 11 hours of the Trey Gowdy clown show.
What do they think would happen when the gop starts going after him⦠That interview should have been a walk in the park for himā¦I guess when people ask for details thatās when things get tough.
The fact that Bernie is taken aback by follow up questions indicates ā¦
a) How incredibly coddled heās been as a candidate by the National Press. The New York Daily News interview made headlines because it until APRIL before he was actually vetted by members of the press. (In contrast, Hillary is grilled for 11 hours under oath by hostile and unapologetically open political GOP Congress Panel desperate for a Benghazi soundbyte, and barely breaks a sweat)
b) How incredibly unprepared he is to be President of the United States.
Also, Sandersā proposals arenāt unequivocally good by any stretch. My taxes would go up under Sanders, but Iāve already gone through college and have employer-provided healthcare that I donāt have to contribute to at all out of my wages. I would lose out pretty big under the Sanders plan.
putting your personal tax situation to one side, I will say this - running on a big tax and spend platform all the time is what put us into the loserās bracket presidentially speaking, for a number of elections.
Iād just like to stand up for the Spanish Inquisition here. There were a shitload of Inquisitions , but through sheer determination (and plenty of plain termination for that matter) The SI has stood the test of time and is the one we remember. Comparing it to some questions being asked is belittling and disrespects the dedicated work of EITPās everywhere.
You know who else spent 11 hours being grilled by Senators? Anita Hill. HBO movie called Confirmation on Saturday starring Kerry Washington is all about it,
I sent a reply to Judisā via talk@talkingpointsmemo. I dashed it off immediately ā but here is the gist of it, (edited) below:
Judisā argument reminds me too much of the flawed logic of many Nader voters in 2000. They assumed they were safe voting for Nader because they never expected him to win. Upholding their principles was an easy call because they were confident they could count on all the rest of us morally compromised democrats to vote for Gore and carry the day. And now Iām seeing the lesson is still not learned. Judis counts on rest of us to vote for HRC in the primary so he doesnāt have to. As a professional political writer he should assume that his comments have the power to sway others ā why else would he bother? I sincerely hope we will have enough voters to make up the difference and oblige him his conceit. If numerous such foolish votes are cast and cause us to have a contested convention, its going to make it that much more difficult for democrats unify and prevail in November.
