‘I have read the accounts of the Clark interviews and my reaction is despair and anger. Why did my party’s best operatives think it would be a good idea to subject their neophyte candidate to the country’s savviest reporters for over an hour? Why have my party’s elders rallied around a candidate who is so shockingly uninformed about core issues and his own positions?

And let’s not even talk about the Clintons. Today I am embarrassed to be a Democrat.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
