Hillary Disses Obama, And Praises GOP Candidate [VIDEO]

I hear how much respect Hillary Clinton has for the Democratic process, her long time adoration and sincere respect for Barack Obama, and genuine pledge to stick to the issues without disparaging a Democratic opponent's character or trying to belittle them.



Hmmmm.... using Republican John McCain who then picked Sarah Palin as VP -- to paint fellow Democrat Barack Obama as an un-qualified one-speech wonder... well, you connect the dots if you like. I'll leave this video to speak for itself.


Another example, in case there was a notion this was a fluke:

because he didn't want a primary opponent in 2012....and Hillary would have challenged Obama.
But this video shows that its all about Hillary..She thought then as she does now that "its my turn"

I confess, I try not to. But you make a good point. We have a Democratic Socialist as a contender against a Lieberman Democrat this time around. That should make anyone with a brain choose Bernie!

I say it doesn't matter if you primary a sitting President. The President isn't a king, they are elected. It is perfectly acceptable to hold them to their promises and challenging them in the Primary is the best way to do it.

As for HRC, she couldn't beat a one speech, one term guy with her lifetime of experience. That says a lot more about her and how the people feel about her than anything else.

Primary candidate along with the 2020 General Election Campaigns of all political parties?

Will Clinton receive GOP praise if she is lying about her moves and flip flops to the Left after her April 2015 Presidential bid announcement?

Your OP brings up many generalized thoughts to me about the third way movement toward centerist conservatism in the Democratic Party. Obama kept his New Democrat, third way centerism, opposite his campaign promises, until after he was elected President.
