It's wrong that a community like Flint would see its health put at risk to save a buck—it's also not a coincidence. pic.twitter.com/9YFpjqNNtN

Despite what we're hearing from some Republicans, demanding action on the Flint water crisis isn't "politicizing" it—it's getting results.

Flint isn't a partisan issue. We should all work to fix it—especially those who created the mess to begin with. pic.twitter.com/RmV0uYtKuS

It's unconscionable that Flint residents' complaints were dismissed by their government for months. Gov. Snyder should be held accountable.

Friends – –
I just walked offstage from another debate with Senator Sanders — our first since Super Tuesday. Our team had a historic day on March 1st, but Senator Sanders took three of our four contests this weekend, and his campaign has committed to fighting in every single primary, starting with the contests in Michigan and Mississippi on Tuesday.
I’m going to fight my heart out on the campaign trail, just like I did on the debate stage tonight, but I can’t win without you fighting by my side. Show me you’re ready to win this nomination. Chip in $5 right now, and let’s make history together.
Thank you,
Hillary won this debate. Sanders is a one issue candidate. That is all he talked about. He was rude to her with his interrupting hand pointing the moderators for attention. He was yelling most of the time. He was weak on race understanding what it is like being a black person. Sad that people like this guy.

Well, apparently he thinks there are no white people in “ghetto”, nor white poor people, only black people? I’m sure that is not what he really meant but geeez what was that all about?

His finger-shaking was distracting her; it was irritating me…. I had to switch it off on occasion, as a result…
Sanders came prepared to dump on her.. He holds her responsible for things that she DID NOT vote on; and he had ample opportunity to influence the same as he was in the Senate.

Another key thing – (and I dont know if the hillary is establishment thing came up..) Hillary is definitely not establishment. Being spouse of a former President does not even give you a Super Delegate vote. Bernie Sanders IS part of establishment, and he even has a Super Delegate vote.

Bernie was CONSTANTLY INTERRUPTING Hillary when he was shaking his fingers. It was truly in her face. So much so, I was not able to really hear some of what she said as the body language of Bernie was getting in the way. I think even the camera angle was such that it got in the way of seeing her face, often times.

Sanders reminds me of the wicked person in this old testament story.

P.S. I can’t vote, but if I could it would be Hillary.

Thanks again for great coverage and photos. Well, there he goes again with that finger and anger. He was rude. End of conversation. Sanders knows now that he is losing. Secretary Clinton spoke like a president loaded with facts and information. Now I really fear sanders will not concede with grace and help Hillary. He is not a Democrat and has zero loyalty to the party. Take it home Hillary!

When he said this, Hillary looked out into the audience and toward the camera – meaningfully. Everyone knew what she could have said, and she didn’t. She didn’t have to. He made her point.

Thank you, Still. The above collection of pictures and The Briefing clips are a beacon of sanity at this truly bizarre time.
I put up with it for the first few debates but I just can not stomach watching a minute of it now. I tried but had to hit mute constantly and I even flip the muted channel since I couldn’t stand to watch.
I also had trouble watching Hillary subjected to it all and her voice so raw just made it so hard to listen to any of it.

Sanders and his campaign people – Devine and Weaver – are so incredibly thinned-skin, too. They’re attacking Blue Nation Review now. Heaven forbid there’s one pro-Hillary media oasis in all the anti-Hillary garbage out there. Devine apparently thinks no one in the media is ever allowed to defend Hillary against holier-than-though Bernie..
