Absolutely. I've been saying this all along. Go Bernie!

He should never have made that "damn e-mails" comment, as this investigation was always relevant, as would any investigation of Jeb Bush's server. It was stupid for Bernie to not have been more aggressive from the get-go.

He said he was sick and tired of hearing about the emails. He didn't say the FBI/DOJ investigation should end.
I'm aware of that, and I personally feel the same way. Unfortunately, perception is everything in politics.

Clinton has changed her positions not because of a lack of character, but because she's pragmatic.  Idealism is nice, but in order to make any progress, the president needs to be pragmatic.
This. I would be surprised if Clinton has changed her views in any substantial way over the last 25 years. She's just a pragmatic politician, subscribing to the pragmatic idea that small progress is better than no progress at all.

The guy who got the most amendments passed in the 1995-2006 Republican controlled House is pragmatic. Hillary is just a dishonest triangulator.
Damn straight.

Well the next Dem debate will be more interesting if Bernie has decided to go after Clinton more aggressively. Of course there is a danger in that she has high favorables so even some of his own supporters actually like Clinton. Dems rallied to her side after the Benghazi hearing, if he starts saying some of the same things those guys on the committee were saying he could end up hurting himself more.
Unfortunately, he should have been more aggressive on the policy differences between the two of them from October 13. Lincoln Chafee was going after Hillary more vocally than anyone on that stage, but he didn't have the credibility or poll numbers (unfortunately) to attack her from a position of strength. On October 13, Sanders was in a good position to have done that.

Clinton has changed her positions not because of a lack of character, but because she's pragmatic.  Idealism is nice, but in order to make any progress, the president needs to be pragmatic.

yeah, no one believes that.
As a Democrat, I don't believe that.
