They will really have to get it together to go further.

again and again, and hoping that all her reinventions and reintroductions fool the voters

an amazing team to be running this well with little BIG election experience against someone who has lived this life 3 times already, 2 being her husbands runs.

We have to thank HRC for letting him get up a good head of steam in the beginning by assuming such an air of inevitability. He got a nice running start and here we are.

He knows once people start working together to make everyone better off everything else will either fall in line or be much easier to accomplish. Funny how he was perceived as not being able to contend.

Still no idea how this turns out but I know many of us felt that once he won or ran closely in a few he would start to get notice from those who had paid little attention. Once they hear him, if they are able to feel included in his all inclusive message (Johnny One Note, sure it is) they will be coming to vote for him too.

"To everything / Bern, Bern, Bern
There is a season / Bern Bern Bern..."

Clinton campaign.

Bernie has navigated as someone who has rarely been in the majority consensus. Hillary operates as the establishment's long-time operative. He's long observed how the establishment operates. She's never had call to question that operation.

And she's been ambushed by that complacency.

Here's this piece from Salon:

http://www.salon.com/2016/02/16/the_clintons_will_really_try_anything_false_attacks_and_failed_strategies_as_hillary_repeats_2008/

of it like that but I do believe you are right.

"Bernie has navigated as someone who has rarely been in the majority consensus. Hillary operates as the establishment's long-time operative. He's long observed how the establishment operates. She's never had call to question that operation."

Just a different way of thinking about the whole set up. It is not helping her.

meeting with her team behind closed doors. Would love to be a fake flower in one of the plastic vases on the fake wood-veneered table and listen in.

I'm guessing there's discussion of issues generally and economic issues particularly, with nervous and apprehensive staffers fidgety and tentative, wondering if they should mention that Bernie's packing huge arenas and she isn't. And why this might be so.

There's the whiff of Wall Street and entitlement. She can't shake either one.

Her surrogates over the last few weeks apparently got together before any of their respective appearances and collectively decided how to embarrass her. They've been strikingly successful at the embarrassment part.

More and more, it looks as if 2016 is not a stay-the-course election.

are likely current and involved and dedicated, but they can't be seen as bearers of uncomfortable news.

I set this problem at the feet of the candidate.

that she played a role in her 2008 loss; her "yes, ma'm" advisors tell her "you only lost because Obama was a once-in-a-century gifted campaigner and not because the Clinton 3rd Way model is not inspiring and not because you are deeply mistrusted."

to make adjustments on the old model. But this was a piece of cake when she was unchallenged and a million points ahead.

Then some guy from Vermont a lot of folks never even heard of started making campaign stops, talking about a fair shake and economic justice for working people and the economically marginalized.

She didn't much notice. She didn't have to. But as things began to move to late summer and into the fall, though, Sanders' crowds were sizable and unswervingly enthusiastic. She wasn't drawing crowds like that then. She's not now.

I think you're right. It's her failed game plan, driven by her campaign's failure in self-reflection and obstinance in taking criticism. When she placed third in Iowa in 2008 she contacted her campaign staff and in a rather terse tone told them, "I find this very instructive."

She's way too quick to blame her staff when her staff's the one stuck with an obstinate candidate.

Goldman Handcuffs supporters were trumpeting the infallible Jon Ralston yesterday.

When was the vote?

Can you link to the results of a vote by voters in a South Carolina election that produced that result?

Thanks!

There's going to be a lot on my screen at that point, so be sure to remind me, okay?

Yet you write like a native speaker.

Perhaps you grew up in a culture with a different view of the sequence known as past, present, future?
