Would HRC have said "No we can't" to MLK's "I have a dream....."?

No, we can't, Martin. Your dream is celestial choirs and the wave of a wand.

No, we can't.

What Hillary does not acknowledge in her rant against hope is that it is blood, sweat, tears, and solidarity that move societies to change.

Bernie is not shying away from that reality.

Hillary's needle is stuck in the groove. No, we can't. No, we can't.

She'll say anything to get elected so that's what she is going to do. This is not over. Not by a long shot.

But if Bernie steals Iowa, the cat is out of the media bag she had him in. With the New Hampshire polls tonight, some media is going to have to sit up and take notice anyway.

The media won't be able to protect her any more by keeping him off tv (though some will try some more hit piece to be sure). He's not going to be like a car accident to watch like Trump is but he's going to get a chance to make his case to the American people. And that's what Hillary was trying to avoid.

And according to what I've heard about ground operations, it isn't Clinton who should be concerned.

What are your ground operations sources?

Goldwater's opposition to Civil Rights, I think the answer is glaringly obvious.
