Have the Democratic Superdelegates Been Compromised?
Feb. 19, 2016 6:42 amBy Thom Hartmann A...Bernie Sanders had a record number of supporters turn out to give him a 22 percent win over Hillary Clinton in the New Hampshire primaries.
It was a big win in terms of voter support, but it didn't translate to a big win in terms of delegate support.
Despite the fact that Hillary suffered the second biggest defeat in New Hampshire's history, both candidates walked away from New Hampshire with 15 delegates.The Decline of Manufacturing & the Rise of Big Banks
Feb. 18, 2016 8:37 amBy Thom Hartmann A...The big Republican knock against Bernie Sanders - and, to some extent, the knock on Hillary Clinton and any Democrat - is that they want America to be more like Europe, in particular Northern Europe.

We Must Act Now on Climate.
Feb. 16, 2016 1:05 pmBy Thom Hartmann A...The action we take right now on climate change could dictate what life on this planet is like for the next 10,000 years.
According to a new study published in the journal “Nature Climate Change,” “The next few decades offer a brief window of opportunity to minimize large-scale and potentially catastrophic climate change that will extend longer than the entire history of human civilization thus far.”
