'Bout time.
Hope Bernie can say Hillary’s name more times than Trump’s
I’m pretty sure that we’re going to start seeing both Warren and Sanders hitting the college circuit pretty hard so that the Clinton campaign can use them for maximum effectiveness. Ever since I read this article, I’ve started looking at the “when” as much as the “what” of the campaign’s activities:
Instead of criticizing Bernie for showing up late, maybe consider that he’s campaigning exactly when and where Clinton is asking him to in order to reach millennials…
I like the backdrop. The campaign really needs some rallying cries.
Huh? He’s already appeared at several rallies for her, including most recently in Ohio. Or are you talking specifically about joint appearances? Because this is at least the second one of those.
My hope is that he does the same for her in Maine,Colorado,Nevada,Iowa and maybe Wisconsin and Michigan.
Exactly – I’m pretty sure the Clinton campaign is calling the shots on number of appearances, when and where. Of course it’s possible they’ve asked Bernie to do more appearances than he has, and he’s been dragging his feet, but there’s no actual evidence of that. My guess is that at this point he’s pretty much put himself at the disposal of the Clinton campaign through election day and will work his other activities around that, and that it’s mostly up to Hillary’s campaign how much the want to use him as a speaker, and when and where.
Wait, so is this the only camera angle? We’re just going to see Hillary and Bernie like little ants in the distance?
Edit: LOL…nevermind. Guess they just wanted us to see the crowd size. Which I’d guess is somewhere between the high hundreds and the low thousands (kinda hard to tell).
No, they’re a good size. 
Or his own.
Thank you, Bernie.
And Minnesota, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, maybe even Arizona.
Sanders has been very active supporting Clinton the last weeks. I saw him on TV earlier this week.
Yay!
Leslie Wimes, a South Florida-based president of the Democratic African-American Women Caucus (recently made the following observation) “(Clinton) may have a big problem (with black voters) because they thought Obama and Michelle saying, ‘Hey, go vote for Hillary’ would do it. But it’s not enough,” Wimes said, explaining that too much of the black vote in Florida is anti-Trump, rather than pro-Clinton. “In the end, we don’t vote against somebody. We vote for somebody.” Politico.
Regardless of what Sanders does or says, Hillary has to close the deal with Democrats, including blacks and millennials. She has to give the base a reason to vote for her. Lately she has been doing that.
Yay, indeed!
“This election is eNAWmously imPAWtent…”
I’m sure his Brooklyn accent is super-annoying to a lot of people. But I have to admit I just love it.
At any rate, I would have rather heard a little more from him in the way of an introduction for Hillary. Some anecdote from her life, or maybe a moment they shared during the primary campaign, or anything else that would have helped “humanize” her in the eyes of his supporters.
But it was a good, solid explication of the need to extend the kind of commitment to universal access to higher education that we currently extend to K-12. The basic argument that “a college education today is what it takes to have similar economic prospects to what a high school graduate would have had 50 years ago” is, of course, an oversimplification, but it’s basically a sound observation, and one that most people are aware of and agree with. So it’s a very solid foundation on which to build the argument for why we shouldn’t be requiring huge numbers of young Americans to go deeply into debt just to get to the starting line,
So I think this worked quite well, and played to both of their strengths – Bernie introduced the subject matter with the 10,000 foot overview, the broad sweeping strokes. And then Hillary came in and filled in the details, which gave her a chance to showcase her always impressive mastery of the policy nuts and bolts. She also did very well at personalizing the issue and humanizing herself, by speaking of her own experience with student loans.
All in all, so far so good. I probably won’t be able to sit and watch the whole panel discussion, but it looks like it’s off to a good start.
So glad to hear Hillary speak to the issue of vocational and technical education, as well as music and the arts.
