There's little doubt which candidate the Democratic Party establishment supports for president. It's not even close.

Hillary Rodham Clinton has locked up public support from half of the Democratic insiders who will cast ballots at the party's national convention, giving her a big head start in securing the nomination more than two months before primary voters start going to the polls.

Clinton's margin over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley is especially notable because most of the people known as superdelegates don't usually back candidates so early in the race.

He currently has a yuge reason not to debate. He will have to state his actual immigration policy.

For the past week, there have been so many versions of it from his surrogates, from his campaign and from the candidate, nobody has a clue what it is. I don't think Pence even knows.

Show me where any the Clintons benefitted financially from the Foundation? Hint: go look at the tax returns. Speaking of tax returns . . . . . I will be waiting, love.

Well, it's actually the Clintons tax returns that show the Clintons benefited from the pay for play.

Bill was paid millions by people that had matters before the State Department.

Well, if the DNC believed Hillary could win the nomination without their efforts to undermine Sanders, why did they ever take such actions?

Even with the DNC working to undermine Bernie, Hillary still barely won.

Blow all the smoke you like, we all know the real reason for this is an attempt to keep the exposure of Trump's lack of any actual specific plans to a minimum.

I think we'll know better in a few days. Stories like this, quietly floated out there on holidays and/or weekends, are often trial balloons to gauge public reaction. After it's been out a few days, the campaigns get a sense of how well it's going to play, and make a decision on whether to double down or back off.

Oh please, this pathetic victimization complex he had his supporters have is beyond absurd. If he's that much of a coward that he can't handle tough questions from a debate moderator then he has no business running the country.

If Hillary can't handle a press conference, she isn't fit to run the country.
