1. It's smart as well

[markpkessinger]

4. Absolutely . . .

. . . I predict this dishonest line of attack will backfire on Hillary -- big time.

[Snotcicles]

22. It only reinforces the low opinion many have had of Hillary. eom

[Le Taz Hot]

2. And . . .

once again he stays on message. EXACTLY where he needs to be -- it's one of the things that has carried him this far.

[thereismore]

3. He's just polite and decent in an old-fashioned way. nt

[olderthandirt]

29. great neighbor

Right on my acid test for a politician is ( Would you want them as a neighbor ?) Bernie is the only politician In my lifetime that's met this criteria. VOTE FOR BERNIE OUR COUNTRY IS AT STAKE

[thereismore]

30. That's a good test. But would you want to have a beer with him?

That takes me back to 2000.

[guillaumeb]

5. Are the Clintons turning to the politics of fear?

Channeling the inner Trump? Hardly the sign of a leader.

[fredamae]

6. Bernie has truth and

a decades long history of speaking the truth. Good luck to Clintons trying to besmirch Bernies credibility.....They're doing themselves no favors.
But they Are representing their "special interests".....special interest....profits, imo

[INdemo]

19. We havent heard from Bill yet but

Bernie hit that one out of the park/
So Hillary should tell us after 1.6 Million was spent on her United Healtcare proposal in the early 90's which failed to even come close to being approved with a Democratic Majority,she has the balls oops, make that guts, to even try and criticize with falsehoods Bernie Sander's desire to create a healthcare plan similar to Medicare for all?

[fredamae]

21. Memory lapse or Hope

we won't/don't remember? I dunno, but This whole thing is in very poor taste. A really Bad political calculation-imo

[INdemo]

32. I am really confident now. Im resuming my phone banking this evening.

and I will bet that those undecided that we contact might just be leaning towards Bernie now.












Go Bernie !!

7. Bernie has more integrity in the nail of his little finger than the whole Clinton family puttogether

[Oilwellian]

8. Flat wrong is right!

Thanks for posting.

[emulatorloo]

9. Kick and Rec

[sonofspy777]

10. k and f-ing r nt

[ljm2002]

11. "She's flat wrong"...

...yep.

[SoapBox]

12. Chelsea needs to ask her mother about this...

And Chelsea should be mad as hell, about whoever advised her to spew out that crap that she did.

Shame on that campaign.

[sabrina 1]

14. It's so sad really to see the way Hillary constantly changes her mind on so many major issues.

Was she telling the truth then, or now? What does she really think about anything? This is why when people are polled on trusting candidates, she scores so low.

As for Chelsea, she should have known better and for her mother's sake, should have refused to go out and lie for her, assuming it wasn't her own idea.

[840high]

25. It's not just sad - it

shows she'll say anything for power. To me that's sick.

[Douglas Carpenter]

15. +1000

[roguevalley]

23. bernie. he's not an asshole. BWAHAHAHAAHAHAA! Love ya, Douglas and all bernie people everywhere. :D

[Sophiegirl]

13. BAM!!!

Excellent response without being snarky. But, then again, that is how he rolls.

[hedgehog]

16. K&R

[Faux pas]

17. Kickin'

[Ferd Berfel]

18. THe Clintons are getting desperate and it will finish them

We need another FDR, NOT another Corporatist.

[lastone]

20. So sad

That their desire for power makes them lying dirtbags.

[Duckfan]

24. And grasping for something negative hoping it will stick...

....is an example of desperation. Chelsea was saying this under stress knowing it was false just like a car thief gets questioned by police. Saying "I didn't do it" under stress--to avoid jail. It's a characteristic of linguistics/communications.

[azmom]

26. k&R

[99Forever]

27. A gracious way to say enough Clinton lies.

And enough Clintons.

Apparently the lying is genetic and Chelsea got it from both sides.

[kath]

31. And think of Chelsea's children - they get lying and grifting from ALL FOUR grandparents.

28. Bernie is pure, absolute class.
