Yes, I do Read The Telegraph
It's on the conservative side of the aisle, however they sometimes get it right
In what can only be described as an Alice Through the Looking Glass election, there is little doubt that it is Mrs Clinton who the “establishment” candidate rather than her Republican opponent.
I hadn't seen Boehner's comment on Cruz
Of course his hopes of being anointed as the “establishment candidate” were not exactly helped by John Boehner, the former Republican leader in the House of Representatives, calling him “Lucifer in the flesh” and a “miserable sonofabitch”.
We [Berniacs] are valuable assets apparently
Mrs Clinton does emerge with the nomination, she will somehow have to persuade the vast swathes of Sanders supporters to fall in behind her in November. Their energy will be vital for knocking on doors and manning phone banks. At the very least she will want them to come out and vote for her.
uh-huh
Mercifully for Mrs Clinton, a poll of Sanders supporters shows that only eight per cent would vote for Donald Trump in November if she were the Democratic nominee. Those sort of numbers she can live with. But if disillusion with the political establishment endures, she may have her work cut out to ensure this number does not increase.
Both Hillary and Trump want our money, both want our information and votes.
My view?
Both of them can go fuck themselves.
I'll chose a few down ballot at home [Vermont] that really need the cash and maybe a few out of State.

After the things said by both their leader and her surrogates this hope:
They burnt that bridge
..and burnt it with glee and gloating ("win at any cost")
The wrong people setting fire to the wrong target. Can't be hugged away with a little "Kumbaya" and empty promises this time.
You can't rebuild a fundamentally unsound structure. Have to start with new foundations, from the ground up. A pox on both their houses, says this Boomer-for-Bernie.

That thumb on the scales bullshit was it for me.
Fuck the pretend liberals at Hillary Land.

The telegraph made its name when it repeatedly won
races against other papers to identify and predict when cargo ships were coming to the British isle. They used tall masts with flags to signal (in code, which was secretly kept and often changed) the name of the boat they ID's and its probable arrival time.
This was big business. The London bond, insurance, and stock markets would go nuts with speculation every time a ship or ships were expected. Or were expected and were increasingly overdue.
They are pretty accurate, something a tad easier from a distance, than it is for our current crap of domestic journo-whores who seem to be in the info-tainment business rather than in the news reporting business. But I disagree with the last sentence. While most Bernie folks will not support the Donald, I suspect that a growing number of us will not support hillary either.
But this race is not over yet.
Bill looks like he has health problems. Hillary sounds like she is close to collapse at times, when she stands and gives a long winded blathering non-answer with really odd hand movements. And then there is the ongoing criminal investigation which may still shock and awe the nation. If Hillary gets a pass, it will prove that the term "justice for all" has become a sham.

No, I think she looks nuts.
Her eyes are totally weird and buggy. He mouth is always gaping. Her pantsuits make her look like a trapazoid. Bill looks sick.

That's a Doctor Who reference
FWIW. It's from "The Christmas Invasion" back in 2007, when Ten made the comment to a bystander about Harriet Jones, then the Prime Minister, after she killed off the alien invaders with too much prejudice.
And, no, seeing Hillary's smirk through the next eight years is not something I want to look forward to, either.

It is indeed.

Tom Baker was Doctor #4
Jon Pertwee (my favorite) was Doctor #3. I guess it's true that your favorite Doctor is the first one you see.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
Whoops. you're right.

When Tom appeared on the 50th anniversary special, I bawled
He hadn't participated in any of the previous "N Doctor" episodes, so seeing him was doubly special. Tom was my first Doctor, whom I saw in reruns on my local PBS station, many, many more years ago than Iwant to say, so he's the one I judge the others by. I was able to see him in person back in the 90's, years ago at a quite small Who convention.
little voice, who really enjoyed the Pertwee Doctor, as well
I had the same thought about
I had the same thought about this:
The same old binary thinking. Some won't vote at all. I'm voting Green.
Binary thinking
That just because most won't vote for Trump, we will automatically vote for Hillary. Ignorance is bliss for some, but not for many of us.
All recent elections have been decided by turnout
It seems to be difficult for the Democratic Party and the corporate media to understand this.
Bill's Health
If Bill were to, god forbid, die, the sympathy vote could propel Hillary into the White House. Perhaps he should hire an official taster.
I don't find it amusing when people start telling others
what to read and where to go and what not to read and where not to go. At least not without giving facts and reasons of why think their advice is reasonable to make.
There is way too much of that, I tend to read pretty much
anything that comes my way. Then make up my own mind as to the veracity. Right wing rags can also be informative.
I do make one exception The Daily
MoanMailBasic intelligence
is pretty evenly spread thoughout the human race.
The intelligent conservatives will never get to work for the NYT, of course.
Life is strong. I'm weak, but Life is strong.
I get some interesting info
From conservative sources, too. One perspective, the fear of Hillary being indicted, and the Republican going up against Bernie. I think it's important to read a lot of sources to stay on top of what various people are thinking.
What Hillary hasn't addressed
is that aside from the 8% of Bernie supporters who might vote for Trump, what are the other 92% going to do?
And we're not going to vote for Trump, either.
Life is strong. I'm weak, but Life is strong.
Give us smouchies and ask for money, oh noes, I think
I'm going to be ick
I agree
ETA: Hah! I followed the instructions and it worked!
Life is strong. I'm weak, but Life is strong.
8% voting for Trump is terrible for Hillary
because historically 10% of the Democrats, representing the rightmost section of the party, goes for Republicans. If Bernie's support is 48% of Dems then (doing the math in my head...well, skip it, let's estimate!) that's almost another 4% of Dems for Trump, or 14% in total. That would doom her.
And yes, I agree with everyone who's saying the primaries are not over, the nomination has not been made. Just talking hypothetically here.
Have you seen this?

The primary isn't over and all this pearl clutching
is getting old. The establishment is so hell bent on making us think it is over, I'm sick of it. I haven't voted yet, goddammit!

Then i wouldn't read my diaries for awhile
Only 8% of us may vote for trump
But a helluva lot more won't vote for her.
