After Donald Trump's campaign manager is charged with alleged assault on reporter Michelle Fields, Trump releases a tweet asking if he could press charges as well, claiming that Fields grabbed him and shouted questions at him. The Washington Posts' Robert Costa has more.

1. Jane Sanders is smart without being slick.

I was trying to identify WHY I feel that I'm watching and hearing a unique personality on the political stage and in the mass media, when Jane does an interview.

Her face looks so natural--so un-made up--and so honest and downhome. And she IS natural, un-made up, honest and downhome! It is not an act. This is who she really is. Like Bernie, you get what you see. But she is also "a natural" at handling barbed questions and hot button issues in the searing spotlight of national media. I've never seen her stumble. I've never seen her "get led" by a reporter. And she's also quite skilled--like her husband--at turning a question back into her message.

She LOOKS like someone who could be strolling down the lane in my rural area offering home-grown tomatoes from her garden!

Yet she's co-running a national campaign for president that is overturning every rule written for such campaigns in our modern era, and that has been upending the establishment candidate in state after state, recently, all funded by small donors. It is incredible what they are doing. It is already legendary! And they both look so...well...ordinary.

They are both as smart as they can be without being slick, but this interesting quality stands out more in Jane because she's a woman and women in national media are required by the Corporate Rulers who own national media, to look like a Barbie doll. She gets interviewed by these slick Barbie doll-looking people and the contrast is stark: the red painted lips and perfect white teeth, dramatically painted eyes, skin blemishes masked, etc., vs. Jane's natural face.

But there is more to it than this. Jane is markedly different in appearance from most other candidates' wives and from most other female politicians. For instance, unlike Hillary Clinton, Jane is NOT trying to compensate for her natural appearance with heavy makeup. Also, Jane dresses in natural-looking, comfortable clothes, and does NOT try to dress 'like a First Lady,' nor like an executive, nor like the current mode in the professional class (men in suits with a difference).

Jane projects motherliness, unlike most female politicians (think Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, Elizabeth Warren), and unlike most political wives. Jane is very unlike the truly glamorous Michele Obama (or her predecessor in glamor, Jackie Kennedy). She is a political spouse, like Bill Clinton, yet so-o-o-o unlike Bill Clinton. She is...well, as I said above, unique.

Most of this goes on subliminally, of course. We are all affected by stereotypes in ways that we will probably never fully understand. Then Jane SPEAKS, and this downhome, natural-looking woman swiftly turns questions around into her message, and exhibits not even a little bit of nervousness or discomfort in the national spotlight.

It is very exciting to think of what she would do as 'First Lady.' It will be different from anything Washington has seen before--but, politically, like Eleanor Roosevelt probably--very involved, pushing for more labor rights, human rights and fairer economics, and culturally, making the White House the Peoples' home--less elitist, more open, more grass roots as to art, music, etc. And her own unique stamp on the office? What will it be? Something to do with Nature and natural living. Maybe she will lead the climate change revolution. He will do "Citizens United." She will do climate change.

I hope I live to see this. GO BERNIE!
