OMG! All in With Chris Hayes

Hayes shows a Republican purchased commercial that is anti-Hillary, . The ad focuses on Wall Street money, something that both Sanders and O'Malley and their respective supporters have been stressing as one of her most vulnerable points. Hayes explained that the anti-Hillary commercial means Republicans are afraid of Hillary and don't want her to win

Then, Hayes showed a commercial purchased by the same Republican group that is anti-Sanders. This ad stresses the things that Hillary and her supporters have been saying about Bernie-free this and that, and all paid for by increasing your taxes. So, how does Hayes explain this. The Republicans mentioned issues that will only help Sanders in the Iowa primary (?????). So the anti-Sanders ad also shows that Republicans are afraid of Hillary!!!!

The meme du jour seems to be that painting someone as far-left is helping Clinton because Iowans are very liberal. I don't quite buy that one.

Also, claire mccaskill!!! That always gets mentioned. Pretzel, indeed.

I hear that all too often from Clinton supporters; "republicans are afraid of her."
Um...no. Hate to burst your bubble, but they're not afraid of her, and they're not afraid of Bernie, either.
Just like we were never "afraid" of Bush or Cheney, or any other republicans. Sure, we hate them with all our guts, but that's not how politics works. That's not reality-based logic.
I could never understand why people buy into the kind of "strong" persona she puts on. It's so obviously posturing. Republicans are not gonna cower because she puts on a stern face and wags her finger multiple times.
Anyways, that often bothers me. Repugs going after Hillary with negative ad is because it's a reflex to them to go after her. And Chris Hayes might as well be wearing Hillary badge. The fact that he's still working for that network is proof that he's already sold out. All the good ones had no choice but to leave.
