Bernie hurt himself in the debate.

[DS0816]

Bernie likely doomed himself by attacking President Obama rather than embracing him like Hillary did. If you look at it, in 2014 mostly all the democratic candidates that ran for senate attacked or distanced themselves from Obama and they ended up loosing badly. Hillary did the right thing by standing by Obama and defending him. That will help her a lot in the end.

How do you think Hillary Clinton fared when she mentioned her admiration of Henry Kissinger?

Does Richard Nixon's secretary of state sound to you like Hillary Clinton is a, as she has now labeled herself, "progressive?"

The reason Sanders distanced himself from Obama were different from the reasons congressional Democrats distanced themselves from Obama. You must understand this, if you understand American politics at all. Otherwise you shouldn't be on this board.

Maybe you can explain why someone who runs in a Democratic primary distances himself from the most popular Democrat in the country.

Bernie Sanders isn't Barack Obama.

He's not trying to be.

But, Hillary Clinton has tried to impress on voters that she would continue Obama policies.

It hasn't been working well for her [so far].
