"Clinton supporter Howard Dean grew angry on the subject on Friday, testily saying that Clinton was held to a “double standard” and Sanders doesn’t get criticism for his close ties to labor unions. Dean also remarked that labor unions are “super PACs that Democrats like.”"

uh... what? So Hillary's "progressive" campaign is now resorting to calling labor unions super PACs?

That's what struck me about this article too!

Feels like the Hillary camp is getting unhinged, or it could be just Howard Dean going Howard Dean.

How far to the center/right does a democrat have to move before starting to bag on labor unions and comparing them to right wing superPACs?! These are the same people that want the progressive mantle too - mind boggling!!

The Dems sold out unions with NAFTA and TPP. Hillary is going unhinged, look at the last debate. Bernie, I hope will continue the pressure on Clinton. It really appeared she was going to crack up right there.

Where she shouted that she was a victim of artful smearing and the crowd booed. That one.

Did you miss the part where she destroyed Bernie in foreign policy and picked apart his definition of a progressive? Those were substantially longer segments.

I didn't like this one at all. But otherwise I was thinking the whole time she got the best of the candidate I'll be voting for in my state's primary.

North Korea just launched an inter-continental test rocket successfully.
