Why the skip in Cuomo's speech. Plus he infers Bernie gave speeches to banks for money???? Skwmom Feb 2016 #6
I think it's just a glitch in the file. He basically said Sanders hasn't given speeches to banks. arcane1 Feb 2016 #15

How bloodly stupid does her campaign have to be to not realize this trap???

Release the transcripts and take your lumps now... don't wait for it to become a FULL GENERAL ELECTION ISSUE!

that she admits the Republicans also do--and that Bernie doesn't do?

I find that enlightening. She's just like the worst corporatist Republicans!

If that's not a big ad for Bernie-and for dumping these sell-out, Pez dispenser politicians who are owned by Wall Street--I don't know what is!

Hillary: "The Republicans do it too!"
Me: "That's the problem, crazy! You're just like them!"

I don't think she thought this one through.

Look at the Wall Street fund-raiser her campaign organized a few days ago--the one where Mook was taking advice from Wall Streeters about which talking points the Clinton camp should disseminate in the coming days.

It's mind blowing that they would allow a reporter from the New York Times inside that room while all of this was happening.

It really is bizarre.

These candidates are human. They make mistakes. Perhaps she was speaking on the fly and didn't think through the angles.

She gives me the feeling that she's not engaged. I get the feeling that she's in shock that she is doing so badly, it's so unexpected. She is totally out of touch and so is her campaign.

Bernie is going to take this unless they steal it.

And I'm sure her momma told her "Just because so and so does this and that doesn't make it right for you to do it". She should have listened to her momma.

She is not yet formally battling the Republicans, nor is there any real expectation that a Republican would be clean or transparent.

For me, another way of judging her effectiveness is to take her at her word. SHE went to Wall Street in 2008 and told them to "cut it out". And she has gone back. So, HOW SUCCESSFUL has she been with her message? Not at all, by all accounts. So what is this record she is touting?

The mod. got smacked by the wickedly smart Hillary. The audience does not care about the transcripts. Simple as that. And they certainly do not care about the double standard being applied to her by the moderator --and Bernie.

More and more I'm thinking Hillary is just plain weird.

What in the world do the Repuglican candidates for that party's presidential nomination have to do with what Democrats are asking from the Democratic candidates?

Tricky Dick weird.

A tell in poker is a change in a player's behavior or demeanor that is claimed by some to give clues to that player's assessment of their hand. A player gains an advantage if they observe and understand the meaning of another player's tell, particularly if the tell is unconscious and reliable.

Cuomo says: Earlier tonight, I asked Senator Sanders will you give your transcripts of speeches. That is what you said when the others give I'll give. He said he doesn't...(skip).....the bank speeches. IF he can find any speeches he did give for money he will gladly give the transcripts up.

As a matter of fact, if they boosted her claim of being tough on the banksters, they'd have been released long ago.

She's as phony as a check from ted cruz.
