Don't Suggest to Hillary She Could Ever Be Behind in Vote<http://www.weeklystandard.com/dont-suggest-to-hillary-she-could-ever-be-behind-in-vote/article/2002119>

9:43 PM, APR 25, 2016 | By SHOSHANA WEISSMANN<http://www.weeklystandard.com/section/shoshana-weissmann>

During MSNBC's town hall with Hillary Clinton, Rachel Maddow made the mistake of suggesting Clinton could ever in the future be behind Bernie Sanders in the delegate count.

"That was June 7, 2008 when you got out of the race and endorsed President Obama. June 7, 2016 will be the California primary, this year. Is that when-if you're ahead in the vote, if you're ahead in pledged delegates-"

Clinton interrupted. "I am ahead in the vote Rachel! I am way ahead in the vote! I mean... Now wait a minute. I have the greatest respect for Senator Sanders. But really, what he and his supporters are now saying just doesn't add up. I have 2.7 million more votes than he has. I have more than 250 more pledged delegates. I'm very proud of the campaign that we have run and the support we have gotten and of course we're gonna work together. I, as I said, I share a lot of the same goals. We are going to work together. But I am ahead and let's start from that premise when we talk about what happens next, OK?"

Lesson learned.

America Rising Awards Ed Rendell Worst Surrogate Of The Week<https://www.americarisingpac.org/america-rising-awards-ed-rendell-worst-surrogate-week/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=t.co&utm_campaign=20160425_ARPAC-p-clintonrendelldebate_twitter&utm_content=ARPAC>

Ed Rendell is the latest Clinton supporter to join the contest for worst Clinton surrogate of the cycle. While he'll have tough competition from Jennifer Granholm<https://www.americarisingpac.org/failed-governor-granholm-continues-reign-of-error-as-clinton-surrogate/> and Howard Dean<https://www.americarisingpac.org/not-the-onion-howard-dean-says-hillary-clinton-makes-decision-based-on-facts-not-politics/>, Rendell's performance this week will put him neck and neck with other all-time bad Clinton surrogates.

On Wednesday, Rendell started off by saying Clinton needed to "turn down the rhetoric" after Clinton said she feels sorry for supporters of Sanders' campaign:

"I think the Clinton campaign should turn down the rhetoric because we're gonna need a large percentage of those Bernie Sanders voters to be for Secretary Clinton in November."

Last night, Rendell has turned his attention to Clinton's Wall Street ties. Speaking on MSNBC, Rendell mentioned the fact that Clinton has been one of the top recipients of Wall Street campaign cash:

"When Hillary Clinton was a Senator she took plenty of money from Wall Street."

That's exactly the wrong message the Clinton campaign wants to get out to Democratic primary voters.

Clinton's campaign is not the only establishment Democrat campaign Rendell is causing problems for this week. Katie McGinty<http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/capitolinq/McGinty-campaign-chair-Rendell-once-lauded-plan-shes-now-attacking.html#e5ySGjr3pOE20oit.99>is also feeling the pain after she criticized a proposal once "heartily embraced" by her campaign chairman Ed Rendell.

When you look at the totality of Rendell's actions this week, America Rising feels very confident in predicting the former Pennsylvania governor will give Howard Dean and Jennifer Granholm a run for their money in the worst Clinton surrogate contest.
