Eleven of 12, with some comic release about our favorite funny-but-not-ha-ha-funny DNC Chair. Thankfully, it is now only a scant 102 days before the Democratic candidate is officially nominated.
1. Sixth grade book report on a Glenn Greenwald article that argues that it is fair to question the influence of corporate donors on Clinton’s policies.
2. Well-written refutation of what a Clinton supporter wrote, evidently (there is no link), about Sanders’ wife’s role on the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission, on behalf, evidently, per this diary’s headline, of “Team Clinton.”
3. Clinton once made a good speech about improving women entrepreneur’s access to capital.
4. Sanders made a good speech at the Vatican.
5. Sanders supporters held a rally.
6. Clinton supporter open thread.
7. Elaboration of a Mother Jones article arguing that Clinton’s Goldman Sachs speeches would likely be distorted by her opponents if released and are unlikely to contain any true bombshells.
8. Debbie Wasserman Schulz praises the value of debates and refuses to commit to debating her primary opponent in a single breath captured on video.
9. Link and brief highlights from Economist/YouGov poll on both parties’ primaries.
10. Well-researched, detailed argument in favor of Sanders’ position on Israel and Palestine over Clinton’s (though I could not bring myself to witness whatever happens when a DKos I/P comment section meets a DKos Hillbernia comment section...)
11. Sanders is making gains at state conventions.
12. Clinton = Reagan.
