Bernie: "the Republican Party today now is a joke, maintained by a media which really does not force them to discuss their issues"

Bernie was interviewed by Rachel Maddow last night. Here is a small excerpt from the transcipt showing Bernie’s thoughts regarding the Republican Party:

I didn't see this posted here yet. It was posted on Reddit and TOP (where it died a quick and unceremonious death by flagging). It's long, and does a good job of sticking to the law and airing both sides.

If anyone wants to cut to the most damning parts, just do a search function on "Blumenthal." Not sure how Hillary gets a subordinate to take the fall for that one.

health insurance and taxes; can anybody help me figure this crap out?

Submitted by Daenerys on Wed, 03/30/2016 - 11:08pm

(Sorry if this isn't the right place for this; I'll take it down if it's not.) I hope someone here can help with this because I don't know what to do and I'm guessing most people here have already filed their 2015 tax returns.
