This from Bob, a friend and former neighbor in Kaaawa.
First, he flagged this excerpt from a story in today’s New York Times regarding last night’s Democratic debate (“Hillary Clinton Is Again Put on the Defensive Over Perceived Ties to Wall Street“).
At one point, she challenged her opponent to identify even one example of how her Wall Street contributions or paid speaking fees resulted in a favor from her, calling the implication an “artful smear” by Mr. Sanders. “If you’ve got something to say, say it directly, but you will not find that I ever changed a view or a vote because of any donation that I ever received,” Mrs. Clinton said.
He then linked to a short 2004 interview with Elizabeth Warren, which provides at least one response to Clinton’s challenge.
“Elizabeth Warren on when Hillary changed position after taking money from Wall Street.”

“I thought Sanders was forceful and effective, as always, when talking about economic inequality and campaign finance reform. I thought he may have allowed himself to be put in a box as a single- or double-issue candidate down the line by Clinton, however.
“Sanders also continued to struggle when the debate moved off of domestic issues and onto matters of foreign policy. On a question about what the right next steps were regarding American troops in Afghanistan, Sanders’s answer was rambling and generally nonsensical.”
–By Chris Cillizza
All well and good, yet keep in mind that Cillizza has been in Ms. Clinton’s camp for a long time.
“There is something disgusting about the spectacle of someone who was already wealthy far beyond the imagining of ordinary Americans continuing to accept what she claims were unsuccessful attempts to bribe her, even as she was on the eve of launching a presidential campaign supposedly dedicated to protecting the interests of those ordinary Americans against the depredations of the very masters of the universe funneling millions of dollars into her personal bank account.”
-Paul Campos
That “spectacle” is called arrogance.
Biden looking pretty good about now?
Yes, I wanted Biden. I didn’t get Biden. The world kept turning. But Bernie better win or we will all become greedy Americans…… And it will be the worst thing Ever until the next worst thing Ever, whatever that is.
