Not enough, though, to make a difference in November. Bernie Sanders has promised to support Hillary if she becomes the nominee. He is a true mensch. I hope his supporters are listening to him when he makes his endorsement. I hope they hear him and follow suit.

Both sides of the political spectrum has such people. They usually nullify each other. That's why I say it will happen to "varying" degrees.

And that goes for every "professed" Democrat who has voted for her.

Well, OK, then.

Are you saying that anyone who voted for her is a "neocon stooge?"

They've made Robert Kagan very happy.

Calling everyone who voted for Hillary "neocon stooges" is to give them
the benefit of the doubt...


that they aren't actually neocons themselves....

I generally believe that "you ARE what you vote for"
which means a LOT of foreign policy neoconservatives
have grown like black mold in the Democratic party.


If they prefer to think of themselves as "liberal interventionists",
that's fine, but makes little differences. They still help to enable
the neoconservative foreign policy of regime change abroad,
put into action by George W. Bush & Dick Cheney
to bring us the Iraq war quagmire.

Now way too many Democrats who opposed Bush are willing to vote for
someone who will bring us more of the same,
just because they say "I am progressive" and have a (D) next to their name.
That leads me to believe their opposition to Bush was
always about party, and never about principle.

Calling such professing Democrats "neoconservative stooges" is generous,
when they are using their votes to promote
neoconservative foreign policy
by voting for Hillary.

The neoconservative godfather Robert Kagan
prefers Hillary to all Republican candidates who ran this year,
and has endorsed her. I think that speaks for itself.

Not a well thought out attack on Clinton supporters, I'm afraid.

Excuse the allusion, please. I'm in an alluding sort of mood this morning.

And is quite apt.

learned the first time I had to perform it.

I prefer more contemporary musicals as a rule, but I have a soft spot for that one. Just a great show.

I don't know that it has been in revival recently. "A Little Night Music," "The Fantasticks" and "Chess" are a few of the oddball, but much-loved musicals I have always enjoyed.

I've seen the video of the stage production a bazillion times. I used to use it when I was teaching a college Fine Art Theatre course.

that on YouTube. Thanks for mentioning it. Excellent!

on youtube, which is a little annoying, but so worth it. The young girl who plays the daughter is also great.

I saw that they have it in segments there on YouTube.

Back in the days when I sometimes performed as a vocalist, I was forever making mistakes in choosing my material. "Send in the Clowns" was one of those. "Macarthur Park" was another. I love both songs, but pulling them off well in a performance is something else again. I was never satisfied with doing them, and stopped trying to sing them in public. The phrasing needed just wasn't within my capabilities, I guess.

in my FaceBook memories feed...so appropriate!

Had to link to another source to bring it here though...

Jill Stein, I believe. Although some seem to be plumping for Elizabeth Warren, which is odd since she's not actually running for President.

Thom Hartmann is part of the conspiracy man!

As for Thom Hartmann, I never have followed what he says. He's always been "Blowin' in the Wind," to extend my Dylan allusion. His conversion, however, is informative, I think.

Not surprising though since conservatives do it all the time.

So clever.

Am I a conservative for defending Hillary from the many unfair attacks I see here on DU?

Inquiring minds want to know!

That Bernie lost and it's time to coalesce behind Clinton.

But some Bernie fans have managed to whip themselves into such anti-Clinton frenzy, they may be too far gone.

It will always be good business to attack Hillary, win or lose, I suspect HuffPo will keep right on doing what it's doing.

Tides cycle and pendulums swing, it ain't over yet. More to the point, you forget that this is more than one battle being fought here and Bernie is clearly winning most of them, even if he's losing the zero/sum election battle.

If Bernie dials down the legitimate calling out of his opponent, it will reveal nothing except the dialing down of legitimate calling out of his opponent. It doesn't mean he has no path simply because you say so. Saying it doesn't make it true.

I feel it's safe to say that Thom Hartmann is staunchly with Bernie in the ideological tug-of-war, that's clear to me. It's also clear that Bernie supporters are eventually going to win this one, maybe not this cycle but eventually. The party will not be able to co-opt an entire generation, its base is soon going to be dominated by today's independents, it would behoove them to stop dismissing us. The sinking stone of tribal/identity politics are going the way of the dodo bird. That much is clear.

The times, indeed, are changing.
