I recall that scene vividly and she is still one of my all time favorites and also like her for her political activism.

Back to the thread topic, an interesting article in Wapo. Still looks like it is Hillary's nomination to lose, but the political cost will be very high. If Bernie wins Wisconsin and New York, she is in real trouble. She may still win the nomination but at the cost of diminishing support from younger Democrats.

If she continues to bash Bernie, she loses overall support. She stops her Bernie bashing, she comes off as stage managed and weak. Her campaign should probably reach out to Bernie other than having surrogates send smoke signals asking him to suspend his campaign. I just don't believe she has the smart operatives in her campaign to do some fence mending and work towards a common good. They seem to be so consumed to get Clinton a victory but in the end may lose support of the party.

Clinton’s frustration grows, as primary race drags on
Quote:
According to Democrats close to Hillary and former President Bill Clinton, both are frustrated by Sanders’ ability to cast himself as above politics-as-usual even while firing off what they consider to be misleading attacks. The Clintons are even more annoyed that Sanders’ approach seems to be rallying — and keeping — young voters by his side.

At this point it, Hillary is acting like she has everything to lose whereas Bernie is acting like he has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Over $100 Million raised this year and the money keeps pouring putting further pressure on Hillary.
