First, on the Hillary interview. I noticed an interesting pattern of using religious language. "Bill and I have been blessed ..", "god given potential",etc.. I am wondering if she is trying to get some of the moderate republicain voters who happen to be deeply religious ( if there is such a thing...). This surprised me. Before the campaign I dont remember her invoking religion all the time so its probably on purpose..

On the Bernie interview its becoming comical to see how clumsily interviewers try to get him to change the subject to Hillary. Bernie is quite skilled at keeping control of the interview. Wolf acted as if the idea of free college was crasy. Never mind the fact its the case in most other rich western countries.

Hopefully these kinds of interview will get people to do some research, think for themselves and realize that Bernie's ideas are not pie in the sky but achievable if the country gets its priorities right.
