NOW President Terry O'Neill: "When people say they can’t trust Hillary" it's "sexist bullshit"
Or maybe they simply don't trust her.03/31/2016 05:00 am ET | Updated 1 hour ago

Writing in Mother Jones, Kevin Drum has this perspective on why millennials might think that Hillary is untrustworthy:
Ive been spending time on college campuses with young women who identify with whats being called New Wave Feminism, and I get a lot of questions about Hillary Clinton and the trust issue. Im gratified to report that I see heads nodding in agreement when I give my answer.
The Bukowski question...what is the FIRST book I should read, the definitive work?
As an example, if someone asked "Which Raymond Chandler book should I read first," I'd say "The Big Sleep." Not because it's his first book, just because it's widely recognized as one of his best. I've read them all, and my personal favorite is the novella "Red Wind."
I don't want to start off with Bukowski "finding his voice," I want to start off with the book where his voice is in full roar, where he's at the peak of his powers.
So which book would that be?

EXCELLENT NYT article on why the GOP establishment loathes Cruz.
By JONATHAN MARTIN and MATT FLEGENHEIMERMARCH 27, 2016

As Mr. Cruz seeks to unite the disparate factions of the Republican Party that are bonded only by their dead-set opposition to Donald J. Trump, a high-wire act is required: welcoming the top ranks of the same establishment he has spent years excoriating while not abandoning the hard-line conservatives who like him in part because of his attacks on party leaders.
***
Theyre afraid of Trumps voters and they hate Cruz, explained Senator Lindsey Graham, who has tried to rally his colleagues behind Mr. Cruz. But if I can swallow my pride, they can, too.
***
Compounding the problem is Mr. Cruz himself. He often portrays this election as akin to 1980, when Ronald Reagan won in a landslide. But he appears to be privately grappling with whether he would be better off playing the 1976 version of Reagan, who carried the banner of unadulterated conservatism against the eventual Republican nominee all the way to the convention, fell short and won four years later.
***
Senator John Cornyn, the second-ranking Republican senator and Mr. Cruzs fellow Texan, privately lobbied Mr. Cruz to attend a Senate Republican luncheon in the Capitol and soothe feelings, according to a Republican strategist briefed on the request. But after a CNN report in which some Republican senators suggested that Mr. Cruz apologize to the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, whom Mr. Cruz called a liar on the Senate floor, Mr. Cruzs campaign became irritated and backed off a peacemaking lunch.

Castro wrote in El Granma that Cuba "has no need of gifts" from the United States, referencing the Bay of Pigs attack as well as the 1976 bombing of a Cuban plane by exiles who took refuge in the U.S.

MOVED to GDP: Yesterday was a message to EVERYONE who issued the "Time to rally around Hillary" memo
This morning, Huffington Post carries a "FULL RESULTS: Sanders Sweeps Washington, Alaska And Hawaii" headline on their home page. Link to the results:

The message here is quite simple: Some of us will not be told how to vote or how to think.
Rolling Stone's founder Jann Wenner issued a heavy, dreary, sometimes reluctant op-ed, "Hillary Clinton for President
"Idealism and honesty are crucial qualities for me, but I also want someone with experience who knows how to fight hard"":
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/hillary-clinton-for-president-20160323
And his employee, Matt Taibbi...a man who also will not be told how to vote or how to think...very politely and articulately handed his boss his ass:
Why Young People Are Right About Hillary Clinton
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/why-young-people-are-right-about-hillary-clinton-20160325
I am not taking a "victory lap" for Senator Sanders...I am congratulating him on his victories and saying, without an ounce of hesitation, that if...or when...the time comes to "rally around Hillary," we can talk about it at that time, and now...for everyone except the people who have chosen to vote for her...is not that time.
And until then, it's still America. Even when Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are duking it out over "alleged extramarital affairs" or crowing over the fact that you "don't need to worry" about the size of their genitals.
It's still America, and I'm going to "rally around" the person I want to see in the Oval Office, and no one else.
Thanks for listening.
