Mrs. Clinton, however, was getting rather hot under the collar of her gown-coat towards the end.
You know, for all the smugness emanating out of the Clinton campaign that this nomination process is just about over, I'm getting the real sense that there is indeed another more quiet ratcheting-up of support and enthusiasm for Sen. Sanders.
I think you really see it in this video, Hillary Clinton is not one of us, she is part of the one-tenth of the one percent and she acts like she deserves all the privilege she is due because of who she is.

(23,156 posts)At this point in 2004, I attended some Howard Dean events. Not hugely high donor, but I paid the money to attend a relatively small gathering in a private home, perhaps 30 people. And it was much nicer, especially in terms of being able to speak with him, one on one, than this seems to be.

(24,411 posts)and real. God, she comes off as pathological as her extreme political stances (Catering to Wall Street, warmongering with neocons).
The way Hillary said, "I've never been asked that!" was terse. She softened it up, probably after realizing that she sounded like a crazy person.
Nice to see a truth teller forcing Hillary out of the scripted campaign bubble that she's fortified around herself. Sick of listening to her fake, robotic soundbyte bananza from hell. Which we all know is lies on top of more lies.

(11,989 posts)Hillary is ahead in # of states won.
Bernie is ahead in popular vote.
Neither of those things determines who gets the nomination, any more than the size of the rallies.
