Bernie: Heads up!!!

[Shemp Howard]

I'm watching the debate tonight, and at about 9:45 Eastern time, Anderson Cooper asked Hillary about some fossil fuel executive who held a fund-raiser for her. Cooper was trying to make this point: How can you rein in an industry while taking money from them?

That was a tough, and very important, question. Hillary answered by saying that while she and Bernie have their differences, either would be much better than a Republican.

Not only did she ignore the question, but, by praising Bernie, Hillary made it difficult for Bernie to challenge her non-response.

It was a clever trick, and Bernie fell for it.

1. Trap? She failed to answer the question because she can't. It's not lost on anyone.

2. You and I know that...

But many people who just get their news from the big boys might not know it. This was a key moment in the debate, one where Bernie could have drawn a very stark difference between the two of them.

But he got tricked. Not Bernie's fault really, and I don't blame Hillary for trying it. But Bernie can't let that sort of thing happen again.

3. No. Her discomfort in answering the question was apparent.

4. She is running as the lesser evil. It is the very best she can do.

Bernie is the greater good.


Our choices are clear.
