The more we see the anti-working class MSNBC personalities and other contemptible pundits attack Bernie, the more he rises in the polls. Literally.
Aaron Glantz's new book, Homewreckers: How a Gang of Wall St. Kingpins, Hedge Fund Magnates, Crooked Banks and Vulture Capitalists Suckered Millions of Out of Their Homes and Demolished the American Dream is generally horrible for Trump's inner circle.
Status Quo Joe With Colombian President Uribe In 2017Biden doesn't want to play the role of political piñata tonight. His record, though, lends itself to exactly that.

Let me just sit back and revel in Alex Shephard's piece for the New Republic about someone who shouldn't be the next nominee for president: This Is As Good As It Gets for Joe Biden.
