I don’t know why Sherrod Brown isn’t on this list. Progressive and can pull a key swing state. White dude to balance out all that femininity on the ticket to calm the bros. Only downside is republican governor.

I had no idea there would be a second season. It seemed very complete when the last one ended. I loved it. Holly Hunter is everything. Though sometimes their girl camp had a very Tom Robbins meets John Irving (men writing about women) vibe.

...except the race is now between Hillary and Trump. That is true, even if you don't want it to be.

You just nailed what I think is the one of the most powerful critiques of him yet.

Does anyone else find this incredibly insulting that the two men in this race want to pretend the leading woman isn’t there? I mean, not a surprise from Trump, but seems like more Bullshit from Bernie.

You raise a very good point. However, I get what David Brooks was trying to do (albeit in the most assholish way possible).. I think he was trying to specifically explain the vitriol. With an almost breathtaking lack of self awareness or irony, I might add. The two people that posted this article on my FB feed used…

I think he is operating under the assumption that his supporters don’t care, and in fact love and support his misogyny.

The only problem I have with this analysis is that whenever Hillary appears to have adopted progressive policy points- many of which she has held for years, but has not made it a centerpiece, or acknowledges that public policy isn’t completely cut and dry (ie minimum wage) she is slaughtered by the Berners for “not…

Harris Wofford is one of the most enlightened and engaged dudes you could imagine. I know someone who worked for him while she was her in 30s and his was in his late 70s/early 80s and she swore she couldn’t keep up with him.

I *love* that Jez has covered this. Harris Wofford is truly one of the great American treasures, and no one knows about him. He got JFK to pick up the phone and call Coretta Scott King and offer support while MLK was in jail, and probably contributed to him winning the election. He shaped the Peace Corps- which is…

I think Castro and Booker for both very possible choices. It is dare to dream for me on Cory Booker.. but I think it is and actual realistic possibility now. Provides a youthful balance, and I think more than ever she has to lock down the left (and while his politics are not super left, he is super beloved and…

Thank god. I can finally stop all of my hand wringing and worrying. I hereby committ to not publicly gloat. Allow for the Kubler Ross stages of grief from the Berners. Resist the urge to engage when they are throwing their tantrums about closed primaries.

I think Gillibrand wants it bad, but is waiting for Hillary to clear the path.

Brilliant.

Best first sentence ever.

That is not what I read. They said she is a co-founder for Voto Latino which aims to raise the involvement and profile of Latino voters in both parties. I am not a fan of her Bernie politics, but I am a fan of Voto Latino. I can also separate (an agree with) the push to get money out of politics an disagree with her…

Yes..exactly this ^^. If Bernie would just acknowledge once the role of gender bias plays to his advantage, I would feel dramatically differently about him. Can you imagine him accepting a position in her cabinet? I can’t.

Zoobas.

I am so grateful as I feel like this is the one space where once can be both a self-avowed super lefty liberal and pro-Hillary. I am sick of getting jumped on in FB by the Bernie-bots. Did you all see this about Bernie’s campaign manager on CNN cautioned about Hillary not letting her “ambitions to be president”…
