Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are tiffing again.

Almost three years after their Democratic primary came to an end, it's clear that tensions are still raw for some in both camps as the Vermont independent senator embarks on his second presidential campaign.

Comical really, I guess it makes them both feel like they're still relevant.  Their ships have sailed, more so hers than his.

Hillary was the wife of a lecherous southern politician who could 'feel your pain'. He would be in jail today with the current, '#MeToo' movement.

She, in and of herself, is nothing but a shadow of her husband. Most millennials do not know who Bill Clinton was. By extension, the certainly do not know who his wife was.

Hillary who? What? What did she do? How is she a politician? Who is this old White Hillary woman?

Millennials are asking all the questions that Hillary never wants to be asked. And she has no answers.

There is gratification in watching the Left flailing to and fro. The Left is yelling, 'These are your leaders! These are the people you follow!', pointing to Pelosi, Feinstein, Moore, and Clinton...

And today's youth simply says, 'I do not know any of these people. And they are all super White and super Old?'

No man, like, dude man, like I vote for AOC!

Clinton's delusional fantasy is that all the other candidates crash and burn so the party will have to beg her to step in and save the day.

The good thing about Sanders is that he's a viable alternative to Warren who isn't that much younger. He's also kind of teflon-ish in that the other candidates saw what happened to Clinton when she pissed off his supporters.

I'm still hoping Biden runs because that would intensify acrimony with the far-left factions and make it more likely that whichever side loses will stay home.

I'm pretty sure Uncle Joe has his juices flowing,and is ready to run. After all,when it comes to wisdom,his answer is always "Huh?"

Seems so, but I don't get why he's waiting. With his sizeable leads in the polls it seems foolish to hang back and give others time to gain traction. He'll be the same weak candidate with more vulnerabilities than ever, but that never stopped him before. His first problem will be to figure out how to defuse lack of support from 0bama...
