The Fix: "Bernie Sanders had the Worst Week in Washington"
From Wash Post..
Tuesday was a very good night for Bernie Sanders. He beat Hillary Clinton in the Wisconsin primary.
That win should have been a springboard for Sanders heading into the New York primary on April 19. It wasn't.
Here's why.
First, Sanders did an interview with the editorial board of the New York Daily News. In the discussion, a transcript of which was posted on Monday, Sanders came across as the proverbial dog who caught the car. He struggled to explain (or to seemingly understand) the consequences of many of his policies and looked for all the world like someone who, in the words of Clinton, had not done his homework.
Then came Sanders's inexplicable decision to engage with Clinton on the question of who was (and was not) "qualified" to be president. Of course, Sanders was, by his recounting, simply responding to Clinton's previous questioning of his readiness for office -- which she did even if she came up short of saying the exact words.
But then, suddenly on Friday morning, Sanders totally reversed course -- acknowledging that "of course" Clinton was qualified to be president.

The gaffes and mistakes keep on coming. Bernie is clearly not ready for prime time.

Jeffrey Sachs and Sorondo. Archer is really pissed and the Vatican is distancing themselves from this.
....Bernie excites everyone! Even the Hillary supporters can't stop talking about him.
