And how she supports communities that want to ban fracking.

Clinton Had a very warm reception from the crowd as well.

Didn't notice a large difference in crowd reaction levels, but Bernie seemed to get more of them but that could be due to Hillary's rapid fire speaking technique.

His applause levels at the very end seemed a bit more enthusiastic to me, but I could be biased.

That's so typical of her:

Appropriate a Bernie position and then say "Glad you finally agree with me!"

Actually quite clever and low-info voter won't know, or care, who said it first.

As Nabokov said (in Pale Fire) the commentator has the last word. For Bernie to come out and splutter "That's what I said!!" sounds weak.

Regrettable, but true.

shame? Hillary? surely you jest... impossible. She is

shameless. Will say or do anything. No depth is too deep to stoop to.

Chris Hitchens really vilified her:

"Mrs. Clinton has the most unappetizing combination of qualities to be met in many days’ march: she is a tyrant and a bully when she can dare to be, and an ingratiating populist when that will serve. She will sometimes appear in the guise of a “strong woman” and sometimes in the softer garb of a winsome and vulnerable female. She is entirely un-self-critical and quite devoid of reflective capacity, and has never found that any of her numerous misfortunes or embarrassments are her own fault, because the fault invariably lies with others. And, speaking of where things lie, she can in a close contest keep up with her husband for mendacity. Like him, she is not just a liar but a lie; a phony construct of shreds and patches and hysterical, self pitying demagogic improvisations."

Thanks for dredging that one out. What a spectacular writer he was.

She really embodies everything I loathe about the crony capitalist/consumer-addled society of America: a pandering, mean-spirited, self-serving phony full of hollow platitudes and a transparent contempt for working people and liberal socialist ideas.

Just came back from a room full of about 100 Bernie supporters/volunteers in my neighborhood. Great energy in the room, mostly 20's and 30's. People have been canvassing, making calls. I canvassed today and talked to 3 people on one city block, ALL for Sanders, not one Clinton. Finished the night planting lawn signs up and down the Grand Central Parkway for morning rush hour. Will do some more of both this weekend.

I really hope we New Yorkers deliver her a fatal blow. I think we will.
