4. Besides the interviewer doing the "gotcha thing" you must have missed the most important policy!

They have to bring up the CT's over and over.

For one, Hillary talked about the path to citizenship that is the most important policy in the US for the future. That's because it puts 30 million people "on the books", undermines gerrymandering, seriously add to the economy, even impacts education and health care! No new taxes, but billions more in revenue...likely people north of the sunbelt don't get it.

Also, she demonstrated real social and economic efforts towards HIV/AIDS, and the way the Clinton Foundation reduced costs for medications (even with aid from the US Gov.).

It's clear that social justice is a theme, and practical solutions are the answer.

None so deaf as those that will not hear. None so blind as those that will not see.

Blinded by The Bern light they are!

8. Great quote. Or perhaps they just don't consider immigration reform a policy issue...

10. She said that she's putting out her economic policies Monday.

These tv interviews - they ask Sanders all about Hillary and they ask Hillary all about Sanders. And they barely even speak with O'Malley.

I think we'll all get a chance to view their policies, and Martin O'Malley's too.

Their substantive policy proposals probably won't be given in tv interviews like this one.

11. I do not like that interviewer

"Journalists" continue to reinforce those lies and distortions from the RW, giving them legitimacy.

I think Hillary handled herself wonderfully.

13. Nor do I. It's absurd to ask about

Sanders nonstop and not ask about republicans. Just as it's absurd to ask Sanders about Clinton nonstop and not ask about republicans. I know they're running against each other in the primaries, so is O'Malley. But the corporate media never asks them about republicans. They just try to bring up as much conflict as possible and then act like that's all anyone wants to hear about. Also, they keep going for a scoop. Clinton said she's releasing her economic plan Monday. But they keep asking her about it. She's like 'hey, screw you, I'm not going to release it in a sound bite to you.'

14. Dame Hillary was the ventriloquist here - asking the questions she wanted to answer

Kinda hard to get tripped up when the interviewee devised the screenplay. I didn't hear her acknowledge the developing landslide that Senator Sanders is riding. Maybe it's just a "whistlin'-past-the-graveyard" maneuver.
