The negative in this exchange for Clinton is that Bernie has just shown that he is the one who would hammer Trump in the general election.

It seems that Bernie has been getting more media attention in the last couple of weeks. For instance, he was on both Face The Nation anf Meet The Press on Sunday and Melissa Perry, substituting for Rachel Maddow. did a longer than usual interview with him on Monday night.

"To Rein in Wall Street, Fix the Fed" is the op-ed by Bernie that the New York Times published on Wednesday, December 23rd. Among other points, he reminded readers that the bankers that sit on the Federal Bank's Board are the same folks the Fed is supposed to keep an eye on.

Sanders in Nevada

Nevada has its caucuses on February 9th. Bernie can still draw crowds: 2000 turned out in Reno to hear him on Sunday night, the 28th, and more than 3200 people packed a high school auditorium in North Las Vegas the next night, giving him boisterous receptions on both occasions.

While in the Silver State, Bernie met with a group of veterans, stopped off at an IBEW union hall and had lunch with the Women's Leadership organization.

Another important event there shows what is possible: Erin Bilbray, a Democratic National Committee superdelegate, endorsed Bernie. "She praised his fight against the corrupting influence of 'dark money' in politics that she said poses 'the biggest threat to American democracy.'"

Maybe Bilbray will be the first of many superdelegates that Bernie can peel away from the Clinton bloc.
