Watching HRC get asked about Jimmy Carter saying "I'll never lie to you." was hilarious. She should have just said "No comment."

I didnt ask for you to read the article for me. I asked your opinion the matter. You can form your own opinion correct? What else would they say when making a comment they know will be published? Family honor may take precedent over badmouthing the president.

Ill raise you a chris hayes opinion that obama should go. What say you?

He deferred his opinion to someone with actual knowledge and experience of the situation. Which is an entirely cromulent position to take.

Here's a handy interactive poll tracker.

Bernie got some moans of dismay in the town hall when he said the only person there who ran against Obama wasn't me. Kind of a low blow.

Ruh Roh.

Someone just pointed out the problem with the two party system.

Bernie got tough questions but did well on most of them. I like to see him backed against the wall a little bit, that makes him break out of his tendency to recite a canned stump speech and give more interesting answers.

I thought he'd be more pro Apple and fuck the NSA, though.

Hillary gave as close to a non-answer on it as possible. Basically boiled down to "Ooh, tough question."

She's making a hard push for the yellow dogs right now, shaming Bernie for allegedly attacking Obama. A mix of applause and boos.

Huh.

Hillary just tried to put a silver lining on Bill's presidency while getting booed about saying Sanders wasn't a "real" Democrat.

Hillary was right on the verge of saying "Look. Realistically, you need a Congress to really address things where Executive Orders have been made."

It's a bummer that she didn't actually say it.

[numberthirty]

Jeez, it's like Clinton's worst nightmare...

[Shawn Hopkins]

That's such a weak answer on the speech transcripts. Just rip that bandaid, H-Dawg. It's better than looking like you've got something to hide.

[Shawn Hopkins]

Wow, tough questions tonight. Contrast to the two hours of fellatio and soft music that Trump was offered during his town hall.

I still haven't seen anyone at the national level actually just admit that Latinos were a group that were taken advantage of in a very specific way before the crash.

Bummer.

She literally just did that. Said it's not right and fair.

Saying "Bush wanted to give Social Security to Wall Street" when you've taken money from Wall Street for your Presidential run is a bad move.

Not really.

She said Blacks and Latinos. Without going into it now, there were some very "Latino-specific" snow jobs at the time. She didn't mention any of them. No one at the national level really has.
