I wonder what out of left field not-really-true zingers Clinton has in store for Bernie tonight...

It seems like every debate she has a few of these well rehearsed retorts that on the spot seem to really undermine Bernie's raison d'etre but on any close examination turn out to be misleading misdirections or even outright lies.

I can't bear to think of what is in store next.

And while sadly she kinda has a point in far too many cases, it's still illuminating to realize just how little she thinks of us peasants.

it will probably be out of right field because her attacks more closely resemble Republican right-wing attacks

With Ohio and Illinois coming up my guess is she tries to muddy the waters on this topic. Bernie's record is bulletproof and I'm not cynical enough to determine exactly how she'll do that.

Maybe she'll just outright lie like she did on Bernie's auto bailout position.

the more wins he scores, the better he does.

It's a pleasant cycle (as opposed to a vicious circle!)

I shouldn't make light of it.

I too worry about the next "gotcha" or " Bazinga" as Sheldon would say.

We need to trust Bernie.
