Bernie Sanders is making an amazing come back. It is so nice to see. Hillary actually had me sort of wobbling there a little bit, thinking Hillary was inevitable, but now I see Sanders coming on strong. He leads Hillary among the millennial's by 19 points. He seems to lead Hillary in both Iowa and New Hampshire and is closing the gap with regard to the general election.

And polls show Bernie does better than Hillary against any of the leading Republican contenders. And he does a lot better than Hillary. MoveOn.org just endorse Bernie and said 78% preferred Bernie and only 14% preferred Hillary.

I don't think it's doing Hillary any good the way she's attacking Bernie either. I think that will just backfire on her. People do not want to see Hillary weakening Bernie and especially misrepresenting Bernie. I watched Chelsea Clinton do that today and was flabbergasted.

She talked about how Bernie wanted to get rid of the ACA and as I recall said point-blank he wanted to go back to the days before the ACA and where the Republicans want to go. That is a complete misrepresentation of Bernie's position. He wants universal healthcare like most of we liberals. But he understands it has to be an evolutionary process. I'm sure he doesn't want to just throw it out and have nothing, knowing we have little chance of getting universal healthcare right now.

Universal healthcare would be something you add to ACA, to modify ACA to achieve it. And down the road we may be able to trade something with the Republicans to get universal healthcare.

But I was also flabbergasted to see Chelsea whom I always thought of as pure is new driven snow stand there and tell a bold faced lie. What am I supposed to make of that?

I'm sure if we offered the Republicans a war somewhere they'd be glad to give us universal healthcare in return-lol.
