DWS Should Not Swim With Loan Sharks
Whether you support Tim Canova, as I do, you have to side with him and against multiple Florida Democrats, including DWS, who want to help loan sharks in their battle with the CFPB, a landmark Obama achievement!

Dellamaide: "Hillary Clinton’s ‘insurmountable’ lead is fuzzy math"
The mainstream media is misleading the public by adopting a fuzzy math in treating the delegate counts for the Democratic nominating convention as carved in stone.
Given its bias against Donald Trump, the media are happy to parrot the Republican establishments prediction that their convention in Cleveland will be an open convention that is, open to manipulation by the apparatchiks and the rules they set.
By the same token, given its pronounced bias in favor of Hillary Clinton, the media gladly repeat the spin of the Clinton campaign and the Democratic establishment by portraying that partys contest as essentially over.
Not only compromised television anchors like MSNBCs Chris Matthews, whose wife is drawing support from various Clintonites in her bid for a congressional seat in Maryland, are implying that the Democratic frontrunners lead in delegates is insurmountable. As a rule, pundits and even print reporters glibly adopt the inevitability spin.

Dellamaide: "Biased mainstream media miss real campaign story: Bernie Sanders"
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/biased-mainstream-media-miss-real-campaign-story-bernie-sanders-2016-04-05Establishment press underreports Sanders' late surge.
The trajectory for the Democratic frontrunner, in short, does not look great, but you would never know it from reading the mainstream medias smug spin.
