Its really slick

He sounds like he's praising Warren, but then progresses to show how all these people running as populists have lost presidential races. But the problem is, and how he reveals himself & his agenda, is he says in 2008, Hillary ran as a populist & Obama ran as a progressive.

Ha!

And as crazy this is, I mean you can rewrite history, but we were all here, I've heard some people at DU say the same bogus Third Way line.

Obama ran twice as a populist & won & we all know it. We also know (now) that he was faking it, but the point is he ran as one.

And how is it Hillary ran as a "populist" in 2008(as if), but now she's suddenly the "progressive"? I say she's neither. She's a centrist conservadem on the wrong side of the aisle.

Anyways, I guess we'll have to get used to hits coming from all sides, some more subtle than others.

FYI~
