Hell Hath No Fury
(16,327 posts)in the past week or two have really been impressive! I kinda got whiplash trying to follow them all. Ah, memories of '08 when things got a bit desperate.
I think the biggest misstep was the vote shaming of young woman -- who the heck ever thought that would be a good idea?? I can't imagine a more out of touch move on their part. Clinton's worst wounds have so often been self-inflicted -- and THAT one was a doozy..

(34,119 posts)What else could there be? The mansions in Florida (or whatever that nonsense today is)? You cannot be someone people see as dishonest and fling shit at someone people see as honest and do anything good for yourself.
She may be getting close to done. I know, long way to go but damn.

Once the "gruel" is done for, what's left? Flat out lies? THAT kind of worries me.

(34,119 posts)nor even likeable vs his numbers on both make her lies start out as suspicious and they should be easy to disprove and dismiss. However those not already knowing this are susceptible to the media who seem to love flinging shit about him.
I don't know if I am worried about that or not. It is hard to imagine even the best of lies getting a lot of traction given his record and his ability to bat them down almost instantly without even seeming to get upset.

(32,886 posts)Bernie Sanders likes to express appreciation for his grass-roots supporters, but he is not standing by the so-called Bernie Bros.
Jake Tapper asked Sen. Sanders (I-Vt.) about the phenomenon of his backers saying sexist things to supporters of Hillary Clinton, his rival for the Democratic nomination, on CNNs State of the Union on Sunday.
Sanders renounced them unequivocally.
I have heard about it. It's disgusting, Sanders said. Look, we don't want that crap. ... We will do everything we can and I think we have tried. Look, anybody who is supporting me that is doing the sexist things is -- we don't want them. I don't want them. That is not what this campaign is about.
