Surrounded by a crowd, she had to go out looking for one to insert herself into.

Bernie on the other hand draws crowds

In the Bronx, HRC calls out Ted Cruz for "denigrating" New York Values: "I think New York values are at the core of American values."

Not to worry, assuming Hillary wins the primaries, and the GOP is unable to field a centrist candidate, and Hillary becomes President, it will be short lived. If she's not thrown out of office before the end of her first term, she will be primaried in 2020.

And by that time the Bernie movement will be ready. There will be no saving of Hillary's butt by DNC rules designed to keep progressives from voting in primaries.

We will know the rules well ahead of time, know who we are supporting, know when we need to register. The revolution had learned a lot this election season. The establishment only stayed in power by keeping the party system close to its vest ... Corporate media is not going to be able to protect you much longer, social media has your number.

The only thing that saved Hillary this time from an embarrassing blow out is that the rules favored the establishment Democrat with the name recognition ... Won't save her next time (assuming there is a next time for Hillary.)

Hell, who knows, it may be the end of the Democratic party itself ... There are more independents than there are Democrats, so maybe next time there will be three parties. The independents who want a progressive and fair country, and two weak little has-been parties of the corrupt corporations.

Centrist ass will be toast.

in order to change it ... the other option is to take it down from the outside.

There's this thing called 'a record' ... and anyone that looks at the records of Hillary and Bernie knows which one will actually change things from the inside, and which one can be expected to protect the old establishment.

Funny how establishment Democrats keep talking about 'the lessor of two evils' .. but only when it comes to deciding between Repubs and Dems ... when it comes to picking the 'lessor of two evils' within the Democratic party itself, it's always the 'greater evil' that gets selected.

New 'MATH' Establishment Democrats like to talk about so much

Independents: 49%
Establishment Democratic Party: 29%
Establishment Republican Party: 23%
============================
Pay attention to Independents or face extinction.
