I didn't watch last night's debate. The press seem to be all over Sanders today for cutting off Clinton during the debate. From the clips I have seen (they may be one sided pro Sanders)...Sanders is speaking...Clinton interrupts him and he tells her to let him finish. They are saying he was rude...but to me it seems she was at fault. Were there other instances that I haven't seen when he rudely interrupted her...or is she playing the victim card again?

I did not watch that debate but I have seem him interupt her before and then use the same remark when she tries to regain her response. Not as bad as the Repub circus though.

Pragmatic Hillary Tops Thundering Bernie - The Daily Beast

Interesting article about the difference between Sanders and Clinton. Bluster vs problem solving. I find it accurate.

I think a business man would be good for the country. One that engages brain before putting mouth into gear...

A smart businessman who made his money legitimately rather than just inherited it. It's a shame Elon Musk isn't natural born...

One that has not had at least 7 failed businesses and 4 bankruptcies.

Haven't read the details, but apparently Trump has just called for a slowdown on legal immigration.

Is she? I've listened to her stump and watched most of the debates and it doesn't seem that ham fisted to me --- IOW it hasn't jumped out too much that she's co opting Bill's policies as her own accomplishments. She does mention her attempt at healthcare reform during his presidency but I think that's fair play. She literally was given the "job" of reforming healthcare and she was absolutely savaged for it at the time. She did all of the heavy lifting, and took all the shit, so I think she should be able to list it as her own.

Either way, whether we agree with the fairness of it all, it's going to happen in the general election. The Republicans will not be as (mostly) polite as Bernie has been.

Booker and/or one of the Castros would be fantastic for the ticket. They're the future of the party and ambitious (and brilliant) in their own rights. I don't know if they would accept the VP slot or not but that's who I'd pick.

It got spirited. Probably the most feisty that Bernie's been so far yet. Some of her supporters said he was rude etc. I haven't seen where she's played the victim though.
