When the camera showed him, he wasn't faking it. Even O"Malley got in on the incredulous wizardry of words from the Clinton on stage.

I don't know if people will see through Ms. Gold Sacks, however.

God forbid she's the Democratic candidate, but if she becomes POTUS, I don't see her having a strong down ticket effect. Without a major shakeup in Congress, a Democratic president is going to have a hard time getting bills passed. So even if she did propose tax hikes, it would never get through Congress.

I think one of the best things about Bernie is he generates ENTHUSUSSM that will GOTV. That could mean winning the Senate back and flipping more seats in the House.
