Bernie: Heads up!!! [View all]

[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.
