Is Obama's coalition just "eggheads and African-Americans"? Is Clinton's emphasis on "Joe and Jane Sixpack" excluding black blue-collar Democrats? A frank exchange of views on CNN.
  • From Joan Walsh

    HealThisNation, I don't answer the trolls, or at least I try not to. (I can think of one exception.) I think you're being unfair to me, but I don't think you're a troll. A lot of us are feeling over-sensitive these days.

    Xrandadu Hutman, you're not a troll, but you are a pain in the ass. I used the transcript CNN sent me, that night. I'm still not sure what she said was "grumpy" in that segment, although I do remember she did say it later. I don't think it changes her, or my, larger point. I honestly haven't had a minute to go back to CNN and see if what she said was grumpy, but people have read you telling them that, and I haven't contradicted or deleted or denied.

    Why don't you start your own blog? Seriously. You could fact-check me. You're getting annoying.

    But I do answer you.
