Outrageous comments about Obama and Clinton made by Trump's former butler and current historian at Mar-A-Lago. Any chance the media will hold Trump to the same level of scrutiny as associates of other candidates?
I like this Bill a lot more than the red faced, snarling one we've seen on the trail recently. Glad Hillary finally got him sorted out. I thought he handled the situation really well and I love the last point he made about the importance of listening to those we may have disagreements with.

Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra

Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
This really is not surprising, he does after all constantly refer to himself in the third person. God, I find everything about that man repulsive. I have felt this way well before his running for President.

Sanders' supporters are going to be remembered as a national embarrassment and nothing but a joke when this whole thing is said and done.
"
I doubt anyone will remember them. They'll just remember that Sanders was before his time when the USA eventually implements the policies he described in another 1-2 decades.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Perhaps, but given where we are right here and right now, the only way that will happen is if the Dems unite behind Clinton and defeat Trump, then come out to vote in non-presidential elections to take back state legislatures, senate seats, governors' houses, etc. THAT could be Bernie's true legacy.

As I and others have said, focusing on polling right now is premature. That said, it's difficult to ignore. So, if you are going to look at the info, it's important to understand the data and sources. In other words, 538 is indispensable. They rate and rank the pollsters, and weigh them for their cumulative predictions. They evaluate them based on their methodologies, and show any lean over time. Must read for wannabe wonks.
There have been vispers that Trump is mentioned in the Panama Papers over 3,000 times.
But the American public is so apathetic, the real question is will anyone care or is it like Hillary's emails?

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I don't think most of America knows about the Panama papers, so I doubt they'd care much if there is a "bombshell" in them about Trump. I think most people have accepted that nothing will hurt him. He's been accused of everything from money laundering to rape and his supporters still love him.
I think part of his success in that area has been his constant reinforcement of the distrust of, quote, "the media". As though thousands of different outlets are part of some shadowy cabal conspiring to destroy white, working class Americans. He already knows that they distrust "the media" and by basically telling them that everything they read or see in "the media" is a lie, he's made himself virtually indestructible to these constituencies.
The ruling will likely be appealed. At issue here really is what some consider to be the unchecked use of executive orders that has been commonplace since FDR. Several members of congress have POTUS-envy.
Ah, yes. Curse the media that made you. There are a LOT of problems with the media as this race has repulsively revealed, but lack of Trump coverage sure ain't one of them. I am so sick of the bastard, I can't take anymore.

The question isn't the quantity of the media attention given to Trump, but the quality. He's gotten tons of free media exposure with very little scrutiny. In my opinion, America's obsession with reality TV has inured many to Trump. We've been overrun by Dance Moms, Housewives, Kardashians, Hell's Kitchen, etc., that too many people find his behavior acceptable.

You gals and guys should do what Clinton has, forget the primary, if he dosen't come along he's an asshole, and stop trying to tell us in the Bernie camp that we're being unreasonable, we've given up, we stopped giving money, we want her over Trump so get off the subject please, and start talking to your Bernie crazies.
