So I am drinking and I am not very good at that.

I am, however enjoying the hell out of Bernie, as usual.

How anyone in this country could not see the benefit of the plan he has amazes me, especially when it is so starkly illuminated by the ideas of Ted Cruz.

I love how Cruz keeps mentioning his dad working for 50 cents an hour. I wonder how much he would have been able to make under the Koch bros plan plan that he is supporting?

I think I should stop, hard to make a point, but I am happy watching this. The contrast is so stark.

Interesting that Cruz thinks Bernie should have been our nominee.

I thought Bernie did a really good job but Cruz spent so little time actually talking about anything that did not include inaccurate points about Bernie that he had to spend far too much time defending the crap that Cruz was slinging at him.

All in all, Bernie made his points and actually was able to go all the way to explaining what those tax cuts would actually mean once they were used to provide what he wanted to use them for. I think that was a good thing, especially when he was able to talk about it with someone actually from Denmark.

My biggest problem is feeling good about what Bernie says, feeling like he made his points well and wondering how on earth others who are not beholding to anyone would see them as bad. It is hard for me to feel badly after I hear him and always amazing that anyone would have listened to and watched that little worm Cruz and come away with anything that made them feel encouraged about their future.
