Clinton's New York Win Deals Blow to Sanders
By Alexis Simendinger
April 20, 2016


..................Clinton waged a battle in the Empire State using all the weapons in her arsenal. She convened campaign events throughout her adopted home state, reminding New Yorkers of her record as their senator from 2001-2009. She dissected progressive policy prescriptions and argued for skillful collaboration with Congress to enact laws to benefit the middle class, if she is elected president. And she courted New York’s famously fickle news media in a style she honed more than 15 years ago while first running for elective office.

Clinton turned to husband Bill and daughter Chelsea, and almost the entire Democratic elected power base in New York as surrogate campaigners. She appealed to women voters, her most loyal supporters, and embraced African-American Democrats by pledging to carry on President Obama’s agenda in 2017 and beyond.

And in campaign television ads, during an acrimonious debate with Sanders in Brooklyn last week, and as part of her stump speeches, Clinton cast her democratic socialist opponent as a longtime lawmaker who remains untethered from political realities as well as some of the nitty-gritty details of the core policies he champions.

Sanders has struggled this year to turn his youthful fan base and his online fund-raising prowess into votes to overtake his rival, who has been able to appeal to blacks and Latinos, as well as progressive women, especially those older than 45.....................................

2. The 'visit' with the pope didn't help...

There are times when a candidate can make claims that they have done something - and not much is made of it...

But when you claim that you've visited with the pope and the news points out (repeatedly) that the pope said "hi" and "that's just good manners."

Every effort that has been made to keep to the high road falls in the shadow of what is obviously an intentional misrepresentation of events.

Nobody is really talking about it much, but it was this 'event' that officially made me tired of Bernie.

Stick a fork in it. This thing is done.

3. I worry about Bernie

I am 86 but remember when I was 74 and starting to lose some of my energy. For him to continue at the pace he is going and win then start campaigning again against Trump until November it will be very hard on him. The GOP will be relentless. So far Bernie has escaped their wrath but as a winner there will be no stopping the GOP. They went after HRC since 1992 and never let up. I would like him to be a driving force in the Senate as he will be able to do so now with his enormous popularity. He can no longer be ignored.
