PJ and Bill Maher sure know how to twist liberal panties in a knot.

Trump is the Trump for people who think they are too smart for Trump, but actually aren't....

And conversely, there's nothing inherent in a selective healthcare system like ours that would rule out "death panels". Quite the contrary.

Exactly a dear friend had treatment for cancer refused until it was too late and so she died right here in America.

A Trump victory in New Hampshire will push Democrats to coalesce around Hillary as fear washes across normal Americans across the nation.

Why do you say that? Bernie's slightly better against Trump in head to head polling. Plus, what difference does it make who a bunch of Republicans in NH vote for?

A Trump victory in NH puts the establishment GOP in panic mode, and signals to the Democrats that Sanders may not be a safe bet against a bigoted nihilist nominee in the general election. There will be a realization Sanders may not be able to keep states like Wisconsin, Ohio, etc.

First of all, how do you get people to vote for Hillary? Her charm?
It's votes and not the will of DNC that prevails as demonstrated already with the utter failure of Hillary's anointment by the DNC. The term 'Wall Street' is going to dog her through the primaries since it questions her trust factor.

What Hillary Clinton should say — but can’t — about her Wall Street speaking fees

It isn’t hard to see why Sanders wants to talk about the speeches, for which Clinton was paid sums sometimes in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. They mark a clear contrast between him and her: He’s unsullied by Wall Street’s affection, while she hobnobs with the billionaires who destroyed the American economy. It also portrays her as divorced from the concerns of ordinary people, since she could make so much money for doing so little.
