TNR TV: Fairbanks Ventures Into The 'Hillary Suite'

Yesterday I made it into the "Hillary Suite," an airy 11th-floor apartment downtown that serves as a staging ground, hospitality suite, and venting safe-space for all different stripes of pro-Hillary delegates. While I was there, I chatted with Christopher Nichols, a Hillary delegate from Menlo Park, California. "I would say 60 percent are rational and have moved on, and the other 40 percent still have their arms folded," he told me. Take a look below. Behind him, you'll see the suite's wall of Hillary signs (plus a donation box) next to the TV, which is often tuned to Fox News.

Yeah, but one way of dealing with this is not fanning the flames.  Let the Lady speak tonight; I'm sure she'll be good - better than good - and I am also certain that her husband will behave himself tomorrow.  One way of making sure it is not all about her, is making sure it is not all about her.

An interesting interview. As I said before, Hillary needs to man up and show some of her leadership skills; having a bunch of bitter, democratic wonks running around the convention is not good for the brand.
