I'm too old & jaded to tilt at windmills and chase will o' wisps.

Here's something that might help with that burning sensation.

Pretty low to send your kid out to do your dirty work.

With polls showing the Democratic race tightening in the crucial leadoff states of Iowa and New Hampshire, Chelsea Clinton on Tuesday took aim at Bernie Sanders -- her mother's chief rival for the nomination -- saying that Sanders would "dismantle" the health care system as we know it.

No worries.

Bernie handled it like the class act he is.

"Unfortunately, I have to say, as much as I admire Chelsea, she didn't read the plan,” the Vermont senator said. “What she should know is that we’re the only major country on Earth that doesn’t guarantee healthcare to all people as a right, and yet we end up spending far more per capita on healthcare as do the people of any other nation.”

Sanders, who voted for ObamaCare and helped write some of it, said that under his Medicare For All plan, everyone would have health insurance and middle-class families would save thousands of dollars.

He disputed the notion, put forward by Chelsea Clinton, that his plan would give outsized influence to state governors, a majority of whom are Republicans.

“She is absolutely wrong,” Sanders said. “This is a plan that works in 50 states in this country, whether you have conservative Republicans or progressive Democrats. It's a national program.”

Nothing personal Dude, I just like that term and couldn't resist using it.


I am pretty pissed at Hillary for basically throwing in the towel on single payer and actually using it as an attack point on Bernie.

What do you want her to do? Her two reliable mouthpieces are Bill and Chelsea, though I do not know how much credibility Chelsea brings to the table. I am guessing that not a lot since I heard that she is not very popular at the Clinton Foundation. In Iowa Hillary is drawing hundreds to Bernie's thousands, so now she has to resort to lying about Bernie. Just like with DNC setup, this has also upset independent Dems and Sanders campaign sent out another fundraising email yesterday. Yours truly obliged. In the end HRC seems to be on a path of self destruction alienating her non followers even further. I think Hillary is flailing and failing.
