Here's a quick diary with video, of Hillary's filibuster during the last debate. I am putting it here to counter the Clinton's never-ending narrative that Bernie is a rude, sexist guy.

The connection between Hillary and the extreme right Republican Neocons became much clearer today when Robert Kagan, a co-founder and co-author of “The Project for the New American Century, endorsed Hillary Clinton for President.
It seems amazing that such a disliked candidate can be dominating the polls.
