He blamed Bill Clinton and Obama for the state of the nation. Evergreen Emerald May 2015 #4
He said he didn't agree with them on some issues. I don't think that is blaming them for the state MelissaB May 2015 #7

added a point at the end I thought was good, how there should be more debates and earlier ones, like July. But I believe this is being restricted. No bloodshed or buffoonery this morning-

Because they were not liberal enough. I recall a group of republicans who thwarted every attempt Clinton and Obama made as president.

and bank dereg. for Clinton and over the TPP and Bush Tax Cuts with Obama. O'Malley is being more swipish actually, but truth often doesn't figure in!

about Hillary. This piece was fairly brief and Chuck pretty low key. Only said Clinton 3 times I heard. Maybe he's getting the idea-

...usually the opposite of what Tuck Choad says is true.


If he said Bernie had zero chance, then it would be reason to get excited.

about Hillary seeming to pull left, by saying that he can just talk on where he's been with issues like trade, TPP. Bernie added at the end that there need to be more debates, and earlier like in July. Good point, but this is being restricted I believe. O'Malley's been taking swipes a fair amount recently cuz he needs to-
From David Gregory to this, wow. And Russert and others before. Steady decline-
