Hillary Clinton Just Delivered the Strongest Speech of Her Campaign—and the Media Barely Noticed

[eridani]

This is from John Nichols of The Nation, a Sanders supporter. The issue is substance--whenever a speech has any, MSM just tunes out.

In short,” said Clinton, “in a single term, the Supreme Court could demolish pillars of the progressive movement. And as someone who has worked on every single one of these issues for decades, I see this as a make-or-break moment. If you care about the fairness of elections, the future of unions, racial disparities in universities, the rights of women, or the future of our planet, you should care about who wins the presidency and appoints the next Supreme Court justices.”

Finally, Clinton took on the Court’s biggest failure—addressing an issue that her rival for the Democratic nomination, Vermont Senator Sanders, has made central to his campaign.

Describing “the dangerous turn the Court has taken in recent years toward protecting the rights of corporations over those of people,” she decried the 2010 Citizens United ruling that knocked down barriers to corporate influence on elections.

“If the Court doesn’t overturn Citizens United, I will fight for a constitutional amendment to limit the influence of money in elections,” she said. “It is dangerous to our country and poisonous to our politics.”

2. This is cringe-worthy.

This line:

“If the Court doesn’t overturn Citizens United, I will fight for a constitutional amendment to limit the influence of money in elections,” she said. “It is dangerous to our country and poisonous to our politics.”

While being the biggest recipient on the Democratic side of the table.

That is ball of shit that could choke a donkey, an elephant and the flying spaghetti monster.

Well written and ironic post, dear eridani

8. The flying spaghetti monster is a deity and as such, he may choke to death, but will be reborn

Nourished even off of the pure vile nature of her excrement! Evil cannot be extinguished by evil, only consumed eventually by the greater evil and since Hillary is the lesser evil, she will be consumed and make even greater the great evil that is the immortal Deity!

because no matter which lesser evil you choose (if you choose evil at all) the greater evil will only consume it and run things anyway! Lets cut out the ceremonial middle-man (or woman) and get on with the inevitable destruction and mayhem!

Vote Cthulhu which is the greatest evil if you like evil at all, why not, he will only consume all lesser evils and run things regardless.

9. That kinda like Pablo Escobar

saying "We must stop the illegal production of drug?

3. Has she deigned to make a comment on voter suppression in Arizona yet?

4. If she expects to be the nominee and thinks this bullshit will not come back to bite her--

--in November, then she's delusional.

5. I think she is....

6. Excellent article. Thanks for the link. Glad HRC is

bringing it to WI in clear, focused terms.

"What she said impressed not just her own supporters, who gathered Monday to hear her speak on the University of Wisconsin campus, but also Wisconsinites who are undecided or inclined to vote for someone else in the state’s April 5 primary."

7. Rest assured that she has taken the antidote to that insidious and odious poison.

They only way to beat big money is to take big money.

10. Hillary realizes all this money could impact less virtuous politicians

She is the only politician with motivations so pure that tens of millions of dollars in contributions have no influence on her. Despite what George Soros said about how impressed he was that he could always call/meet with her.
