She now regrets not going all Clinton on Bern earlier. She must have not thought much of him and too much of herself being the entitled presumptive candidate to bother to give him the regular foe-of-a-Clinton treatment. Her people probably poo-pooed Bernie's candidacy never thinking that he could be a serious challenger.
I hope she does take the gloves off and go after him, because it'll be a delight to see her twisting into new contorted forms to try to appeal more to the far left while leaving what few centrist dems remaining to gulp in disbelief. I hope she gets completely desperate and that it shows. She's an elitist phony of the first order of magnitude.

QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED:
“Can D.C. afford a $15/hour minimum wage?”, the left-leaning Brookings Institute asked in July.
Yesterday’s Washington Post article headlined “District leaders furious Walmart breaking promise to build stores in poor neighborhoods” is a succinct response:
Evans said that, behind closed doors, Walmart officials were more frank about the reasons the company was downsizing. He said the company cited the District’s rising minimum wage, now at $11.50 an hour and possibly going to $15 an hour if a proposed ballot measure is successful in November. He also said a proposal for legislation requiring D.C. employers to pay into a fund for family and medical leave for employees, and another effort to require a minimum amount of hours for hourly workers were compounding costs and concerns for the retailer.“They were saying, ‘How are we going to run the three stores we have, let alone build two more?’ ” Evans said.“The optics of this are horrible; they are not going to build the stores east of the river, in largely African American neighborhoods? That’s horrible; you can’t do that,” Evans said. “A deal’s a deal.”As Tim Worstall responds at Forbes,“Obviously, the people who brokered the deal aren’t happy about this. Yet those same people are the very people that passed the laws that Walmart, informally at least, is saying have led to the change of mind. It is, obviously, always nice to see the biter bit, someone hoist on their own petard. But the people who will lose out from this are the consumers of those poorer areas of the capital. And the reason they’ll lose out is because the politicians have been loading costs onto Walmart by insisting upon higher wages in several different ways.

Hill, you do realize that 10% of millions is far greater than 10% of a few thousand... right?

HISD board votes to rename 4 schools named after Confederate loyalists
The Houston school board voted 5-4 Thursday to rename four campuses named after Confederate loyalists and postponed decisions on four others amid community concerns.
Trustees agreed to kickstart the process of renaming Henry Grady, Richard Dowling and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson middle schools and Robert E. Lee High School.
Now, a committee at each school, including a teacher, student, parent and alumni, will be charged with proposing a new name. The policy calls for the superintendent then to make recommendations to the board for a vote – to take place in May, according to the meeting agenda.
Board president Rhonda Skillern-Jones had included eight schools on the list for renaming, but trustees agreed to remove four – Lanier and Johnston middle schools and Davis and Reagan high schools – to allow for more discussion. Trustees who represent those four schools made motions to exclude them.

It wouldn't even take 72 hours.
As soon as a few observant people realize it's an emp within the first few hours (independent electronic systems would fail simultaneously, electric grid, cell phones, utilities, modern cars etc, unless electronics were protected in a faraday cage) the observant people who understood the scope of the disaster would be looting within the first 6 hours to start hording supplies then when panic sets in the masses would be looting by the end of day 1.
But whatever I'm getting way off topic here
No you're not, looting and hoarding, that's the GOP isn't it.............................
By the way, this laughable criticism of Ted Cruz's "New York values" remark by the 'experts' is funny
If your reaction to "New York values" was anything other than "what an effective insult" you fail politics 101.

Hillary Was Interviewed on Lifetime and It Was the Worst Thing Ever
by Katherine TimpfLast night, Hillary Clinton was interviewed on a Lifetime show called “The Conversation” by host Amanda de Cadenent and a bunch of “YouTube stars,” and I must admit that it wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be. It was much, much worse. Earlier this week, Politico touted the interview as something that would be “showing off a softer side” of Mrs. Clinton. In other words: It would be her campaign’s 9 billionth attempt at humanizing her, an attempt to get voters excited about Hillary the Gal and not just Hillary the Candidate. There’s just one problem: Hillary is Hillary is not an exciting person. I’m a young and energetic insomniac, but this “interview” had me wanting to pass out before 11 p.m., and had I not been repeatedly jarred awake by the urge to vomit in disgust, I’m sure that I would have done just that.

Hillary Attacks Bernie on Healthcare after Thanking Him on HealthcareAn interesting development from the last week: Hillary Clinton, apparently Feelin’ the Bern in Iowa and New Hampshire, has been attacking Bernie Sanders from the right.“His plan would take Medicare and Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program and the Affordable Care Act health care insurance and private employer health insurance and he would take that all together and send health insurance to the states, turning over your and my health insurance to governors,” Clinton said, criticizing the Vermont socialist senator for his plan to turn the U.S. health-care system into a single-payer plan.Even Chelsea has hit Bernie on the issue — indicating that this is a coordinated response from the Clintonistas — telling a New Hampshire audience on Tuesday, “Senator Sanders wants to dismantle Obamacare, dismantle the CHIP program, dismantle Medicare, and dismantle private insurance.”Wow. Do the Clintons have Bernie confused with Ted Cruz?But Sanders’s camp hasn’t hesitated to hit back, tweeting out an old picture of a certain someone thanking him for his “commitment to real health care access for all Americans.”
Good response by Bernie's gang..............they understand Social Media better............I suspect, neither candidate does -
