Chris Mathews' conflating democratic socialism with communism under a dictator demonstrates a rabid hatred of policies that help average Americans. It also demonstrates that he is an idiot, but that is beside the point. Let's assume for second that his radical pants pooping hysteria against a strong public safety net, healthcare and higher education is a fear shared by many of the 1% and their surrogates.

I predict that someday in the not-so-distant future, the entire world will be shocked to learn that Andrew Yang is actually the mutated clone splice of Elon Musk and Bob Barker.

If you didn't watch the post-debate analysis last night on MsNBC (and why would you?) you missed gas-bag Chris Matthews comparing the Movement sparked by Bernie Sanders as the equivalent of the Soviet Union under Lenin and Stalin, or the Khmer Rouge, just waiting for our opportunity to execute him in Central Park. Really, he went there.

“I think perhaps we want a more conscious life. We're tired of drudging and sleeping and dying. We're tired of seeing just a few people able to be individualists. We're tired of always deferring hope till the next generation. We're tired of hearing politicians and priests and cautious reformers... coax us, 'Be calm! Be patient! Wait! We have the plans for a Utopia already made; just wiser than you.' For ten thousand years they've said that. We want our Utopia now — and we're going to try our hands at it.” ~ Sinclair Lewis

“Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, will visit Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela on an official tour from February 5-8.

"Every civilization carries the seeds of its own destruction, and the same cycle shows in them all. The Republic is born, flourishes, decays into plutocracy, and is captured by the shoemaker whom the mercenaries and millionaires make into a king. The people invent their oppressors, and the oppressors serve the function for which they are invented." -Mark Twain

Or the third option, is she a completely Irredeemable "C You Next Tuseday?"

I am going with option 2 and 3 with a side of Bitter Vindictive Bitch.

It's bad enough all the lies she made up about Sanders and his supporters but now she's going to do it in a cycle where she's not even in and everyone in "Her" party are focused on removing Donald Trump.

Yet here we are again, with Clinton essentially sabotaging Bernie.

Let that soak in.
