"Given where he stands right now in this New York race, tt would have been better for him to find a place like Rome, NY"

2. That was a real knee-slapper.

Don't give up your day job.

[Broward]

3. So clever.

4. I've been to Rome, NY. They have cheese.

Not as much as Wisconsin.

5. I'm listening to those 2 armchair quarterbacks

Telling Bernie campaign they should be more aggressive.....,

And, of course when Bernie gets more aggressive they whine at how "nasty" the campaign has become

Fuck the MSM. They totally underestimated demeaned and tried to marginalize Sanders with their elite "conventional wisdom" and preppy posturing.

Maybe Clinton will win.After all she's got the money and she's in "the elite club."

But they have lost all credibility with their inbred posturing and cocktail party chat masquerading as journalism and commentary. .

Must be good money in talking like bumbling idiots. Just more of the Bloomberg boot licker group.

The memo also addresses editorial standards in reporting. The launch of Bloomberg Politics, helmed by Halperin and Heilemann — two prominent journalists best known for writing election books filled with anonymous sources — sparked internal questions about standards. Traditionally, Bloomberg reporters are not permitted to use blind quotes from unnamed sources in articles and can only reference anonymous sources if they first get clearance from senior editors.

Heilemann received some pushback from management in October after publishing his first piece for Bloomberg Politics, which included anonymous quotes along with expletives that don’t usually appear in Bloomberg copy. He wasn’t prohibited from writing, but didn’t publish another piece for nearly six months.

The difference between a professional gossip columnist and a real journalist is pretty clearly defined there, and I think Senator Sanders is better off following the advice of the Pope instead of this "gentleman".

9. I watched that for a minute or two and came away with the impression that the Right and the

establishment are very, very, worried. They are going to have to pay their taxes, their gravy train will stop running, etc.
