This is what we should have been watching instead of that Republican 3 ring circus last night. The Rachel Maddow interview with Hillary Clinton.

“Your campaign, in my estimation, set its hair on fire a little bit,” Maddow told Clinton, assessing the decision to cast Sanders’ latest campaign ad as his first negative ad of the campaign to be a bit of a reach with only days to go before the first votes of the cycle. 

“Now, I’ve seen the ad that you’re referring to. Honestly, it is not much of an attack,” Maddow argued, noting that the Sanders ad never mentions Clinton by name.

That is how this rather aggressive interview began last night, and to Rachel's credit she really did not seem to pull any of her punches. In fact I think a few times I saw Hillary stiffen up a few times.

And at the end of the interview I for one had a much better understanding for why Clinton went on the attack against Bernie and why she finds fault with his plan for healthcare, and is defensive about his claims that she will not be aggressive in dealing with Wall Street.
