Random Notes



Jose Ba - "Maybe she never said the words, 'He is not qualified,' (And that is still to be determined.) But for months she's been implying . . .  "

"That he's not qualified, even if she doesn't use the words," adds Washington Post's Ed O'Keefe.

Another Washington Post reporter, Philip Rucker, adds that Hillary has been "very careful in every word she says about Bernie Sanders."

MSNBC's "The Place for Politics"  4/7/2016 





4/7/2016 10:57 AM - Joan Walsh - The problem "is this history of making slightly weird sexist remarks about Hillary Clinton." The Sanders campaign has said "her ambition is going to destroy the Democratic Party. . ."

[Question from host: "How is that sexist?"] Because,  I think,  the idea of women as ambitious is 'scary.' His ambition is great; your ambition (women's) is scary."

"And then saying she's not qualified which women have heard again and again and again, "You gotta be TWICE as qualified as a man to get the same job."

Unsoma: Bernie's been enjoying a free ride in the media; it's been cheer leading for him since last year.

But suddenly, he wanders into the interview with the Daily News and tanks. The tabloid media in NYC didn't get the memo about feeling the Bern. Rather than lifting him up; papering over what he said; turning it into a dig at Hillary like the main stream media does, it held him to account.

He's not used to that; and it shows.
