LAS14's JournalAnother good one in GDP - Politifact rates Hillary the most truth telling.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511634399Could I get 3 more recs for this GDP post?
It's good stuff, and you don't need to peek at the back and forth. Although it has attracted more Hillary supporters than is normal in GDP.

Fossil fuels - Sanders 4 100ths of 1%, Clinton 15 100ths of 1% of total donations.
"Totally bogus charge against Hillary Clinton" says Mark Shields.
Sorry that I couldn't paste "URL at current time". It defaults to the start, but go to 39:17 for the Democratic discussion.
Does anyone know....
.... if it's possible to get a transcript of the Brooks and Shields bit from The Newhour? Last night Mark Shields lambasted Bernie's campaign for the fossil fuel flap and said that Bernie's donations from that source were 4 100ths of 1% and Hillary's were 15 100ths of 1% of their respective totals. I'd like to publish that as a headline in GDP, but with a clip. Alternatively, does anyone know how you can save just a snippet of a video?

Wo! Who knew about Wisconsin???
Again, the Newshour on PBS has a story about Wisconsin's voter ID laws that are estimated to disenfranchise 300,000+ poor people and people of color. This is Wisconsin, not Mississippi!! And we know who's supporters will be most affected.
On the PBS newshour....
... a clip of Hilllary getting indignant with the Greenpeace person and Sanders complaining about Hillary's money from the fossil fuel industry. Judy Woodruf closes with the observation that <can't remember name>, a non partisan <xxx> says that this money is less than 1% of Hillary's donations.
Maybe someone else can fill in the factual gaps.
Erin Burnett's interview re "fossil fuel donations"
Another one of my attempts to create a Hillary presence in GDP.

Erin Burnett just conducted...
... a terrific interview with Brock and some Sanders guy (sorry, can't remember his name). To my ear and eye it sure did support Hillary's indignation at the Sanders smears about "fossil fuel" donations. (Which came from individuals, as we all should know by now. At one point the Sanders guy, when faced with big amounts of donations from "the financial sector" said, "that could be.... " rats... not sure what, but some flunky. So why does that count for him and not for Clinton????? Burnett said she had removed "accountants" from that Sanders figure. Brock pointed out that the "fossil fuel" figure amounted to a small percentage of the Clinton donations.
I wish I had a clip.
Is it possible that some Trump supporters are moving to Sanders?
I posted an identical thread in GDP, but I anticipate a hostile response, so I'm re-posting here to find out what fellow Hillary folks think.
***************
At the outset, I am NOT assuming all Sanders supporters fit the description below.
Could it be that a certain portion of Trump supporters who are motivated by rage at the status quo, and a desire to "start over," might have reached their limit with Trump's social irresponsibility (women, disabled, immigrants, you name it) and have switched to Sanders? Perceiving him (an extreme interpretation, perhaps) as someone who is also so enraged he just wants to start over?
