Harvey Weinstein's lawyers have moved for a mistrial after prosecutors showed jurors a picture Weinstein with Bill Clinton. They think it will prejudice the jury against him. That's pretty bad when being friends with a former president makes you a probable sex criminal.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton said she hasn't decided yet if she would endorse Bernie Sanders for president if he won the nomination. She said that "nobody likes him". She reaffirmed this to reporters. Reaction was so bad that she issued a clarification that she actually meant she would endorse any Democrat who got the nomination.
Hillary shows that right-wing Democrats aren't right-wing because they think it's the only way to win. It's because they're right-wing ideologues. Democrats keep running as conservatives and they keep losing. They argue that they just have to be ever so slightly to the left of the Republicans---the left will have no choice but to vote for them and some Republicans would vote for them, too. It never works. Carter lost, Mondale lost, Dukakis lost, Bill Clinton won only because of Ross Perot, Gore lost, Kerry lost, Obama won because people thought he was a liberal, and now the other Clinton lost. The Democrats keep losing because the right-wing ideologues running the Democratic Party would rather lose than have anyone to the left of Ronald Reagan win.
When Obama beat Clinton and got the nomination, some of Clinton's "feminist" supporters announced they would vote for McCain. Cynthia McKinney was running on the Green Party ticket---if they were feminists and thought they were so liberal, why didn't they vote for her?
