Betty looked like a hypocrite, as it was pointed out she had already got her donations from Goldman, Chase, and others before announcing the purity test.
This “wine cave” kerfuffle is too-too typical of the way the media just can’t resist chasing squirrels, no matter what the circumstances. Remember when “the media” couldn’t shut up about Al Gore’s brown suits, his alleged “stiffness”, and mocking some claims he never made but which quickly became more real than the truth? Yes, you do; but do you remember what his platform was? I’ll take that for no.
The moral of the story is that even the most respectable media have a weakness for reporting on each other, rather than on the nominal subject at hand.
Looks like Warren bit into a juicy rumor and made some unfounded assumptions, rather than checking in depth to see if great criticism was really warranted.
Unfortunately, none of the candidates is error-free, though all the Democrats running for President — even Bloomberg — are miles better than Trump.
But don’t forget the House and Senate. They are the ones who make the laws, and they don’t have to do whatever the President says.
If you like some of the things a Presidential candidate advocates but not others, then support him/her, but also work to elect candidates to the House and Senate who agree with you on the details. That gives you a better chance of getting what you want.

If you will note, the man on the right does not have a glass of wine.

Warren was showing desperation. Her numbers are slipping so she throws an ugly punch. Pete showed his class and smarts in the exchange.

From The Daily Show,
“The Democrats are desperate to explain the tiniest skeletons in their closets.
“While trump walks down the street with all of his skeletons, saying, “They’re just skinny people!”
