Addressing the women’s group, Sanders didn’t direct his arguments on women against Clinton, but focused instead on Republicans, decrying the GOP’s “horrific attacks” on Planned Parenthood. Kay Hagan declared her support for Clinton following Sanders’ speech at the Women’s Council. You’ve got hunters who are going from Vermont to the Midwest, and they put their weapons unloaded in the cargo part. Sanders noted that he is the only one of the Democratic candidates not being supported by a sanctioned super-PAC.
“I do not want to see us getting sucked into a quagmire of which there may be no end”, Sanders said in opposing Obama’s Syria policy. “You know, if the secret service really wanted to blend in around here, they’d wear Spider-Man costumes”, he said in his opening monologue, referring to the faux superheroes that roam Hollywood Blvd. outside the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” studio. He too portrayed Clinton as a johnny-come-lately on Keystone.

“I wasn’t able to make her immune to setbacks, as we saw in the aftermath of Freddie Gray’s death”, O’Malley said, defending policies during his time as mayor that had been considered heavy handed by a few. “We don’t wake up in the morning thinking we’re going to be the next president of the United States … which is why I’m supporting Hillary Clinton”.
Kimmel peppered Clinton with personal questions about life on the campaign trail, including when was the last time she got “good and hammered”.

There was no mention of the Iran nuclear deal during the Democratic Candidate Forum because as is self-evident to anyone who is paying attention at all this was the best deal for America short of an armed attack on Iran, and the possible initiation of world war with nukes. This area is a pivotal one for Democrats, as the Democratic National Convention was in Charlotte in 2012 and South Carolina has the fourth primary in the presidential election. That was an unforced error by her spokesman, who should have thought twice about making news on a subject that the candidate had pretty clearly turned a page on, and for what?
