Clinton's new strategy: "Unify the party later."

[thesquanderer]

Not quite time for disarmament. Seems like DailyKos and Skinner may have jumped the gun a bit on this one.

1. Makes sense, Bernie has been bashing Hillary and she has mostly ignored him- He has flaws..

I guess the lovable white haired grandpa will soon have his flaws shown as Hillary's flaws have been-


Let the fireworks begin! LOL One flaw is he will be 75 in 2016. Nobody is going to vote FOR him because of that, but that will cause some people to vote against him-

[astrophuss42]

4. Ignored him by.....

Calling out a Greenpeace activist for being on his team? No, she sees him in the shadows and her paranoia will in fact destroy her.

[Else You Are Mad]

5. Regarding age. If Hillary is elected

.... She will be the oldest person elected President.

[rbrnmw]

36. Reagan age?

69 years, 349 days when he took office Bernie would be older that Reagan when he was elected to his second term

[Skwmom]

8. Bernie has hardly touched upon Clinton's baggage.

[KPN]

30. Bernie's been bashing Hillary?!

He's been a gentleman. What he's been bashing is her political record and positions, not her the person. Of course authoritarians always take disagreement personally and act accordingly.

Trouble with that is, most Bernie supporters are emotionally secure and mature enough to not be authoritarian, but (and as a result) we recognize it when we see it -- which probably has something to do with why we so fervently support Bernie over Hillary.

As for fireworks, more like duds to anyone who isn't an ardent Hillary supporter -- so go ahead, Let the fireworks begin (as if they haven't been non-stop for the past month).

37. Can't wait for the GE

If you guys think bernie has been a meanie, it will be fun. (Like a root canal) but it will be fun

2. HRC

The original PUMA.

J/k I know she busted her butt for Obama.

[bigtree]

6. when the time came for Hillary to end her campaign in '08

[astrophuss42]

10. "Shame on you, Obama, shame on you!"

Wait, that was before it was clear she was losing.

I'm glad she wants to be family but she is not my abuela.

[Marr]

20. She did that after she was promised the SoS position.

She'd already lost. She agreed to stop tearing the party apart because she got the Secretary of State post (which she fucked up, of course, but that's beside the point).

Do you know what her campaign offered Sanders when they were saying he should drop out for the sake of party unity? A chance to briefly speak at the convention. An intentional, belittling insult.

This is not a unifying politician. This is a supremely arrogant person with a massive case of entitlement.

[bigtree]

22. untrue

...he nominated her in December.

This endorsement came in June.

[Marr]

24. Publicly.

If you don't think there was an agreement before her official nomination, I have a bridge to sell you.

I mean really, you expect anyone to believe that Barrack Obama couldn't think of anyone better than his race-baiting opponent from the presidential race to get the second highest executive posting?

[bigtree]

26. that's just your own cynicism

...not a shred of evidence there was a quid pro quo.

I'm absolutely certain you'd strongly defend against innuendo like that if it was directed at Bernie Sanders.

[KPN]

35. Lol.

[KPN]

34. I'm sure she'll be so gracious this time as well

when Bernie wins the nomination.

By the way, she did this on June 7th -- after all 50 State primaries had concluded.

[Kip Humphrey]

3. ITS MINE! ITS ALL MINE, I TELL YOU! WHY CAN'T IT BE MINE? DAMN YOU, BERNIE SANDERS!

[VulgarPoet]

7. Vete al infierno, abuela.

You've got a real long way to go for unity.

[CoffeeCat]

9. Clinton has become Gollum!!

Clinton can only see one thing--her "precious" Presidency that she just knows is hers.

There are no words for how unbelievably oblivious she is. However, if there were "words"to describe how oblivious she is, the description would involve about five straight minutes worth of swearing.

Truly...grotesque.

[CharlotteVale]

16. OMG...that's perfect!

[yourpaljoey]

33. We are watching her unraveling in real time

She will not win the prize she seeks

[Renew Deal]

11. Hasn't that been Bernie's strategy all along?

He would have dropped out if he wanted to unify the party.

[thesquanderer]

32. Unify doesn't mean capitulate. Heck, Hillary could drop out too, if that's what it meant.

Bernie still has a chance that is not statistically insignificant, and has plenty of money. Dropping out makes no sense.

But Bernie has still been considering party unity. Please see post #29.

[ibegurpard]

12. She can't unify the party

The divisions were already there and she is literally the embodiment of the reasons for them: abandonment of working and middle class issues and people in favor of corporate money and issues.

[Ron Green]

14. ^^This^^ n/t

[Marr]

19. +1

[jillan]

13. Good luck with that Hillary.

[berni_mccoy]

15. Hillary: "PARTY UNITY MY ASS! I WANT TO WIN!"

[Marr]

17. The perfect anti-Hillary Campaign: the Hillary Campaign

If you think she's got high 'disliked' numbers now, just wait until her campaign goes overtly negative against a guy who is considered trustworthy.

[GreatGazoo]

18. At 0:35 he paraphrases Gandhi but he gets the ending wrong

should be "...then Sanders wins."

"running out of patience" = they don't like democracy any more.

[Avalux]

21. NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. Hillary must think we are into abusive relationships.

That's what she's doing to those of us who don't support her - she's abusing us, belittling us...her condescension is disgusting.

She is betting that our fear of Trump will make us swallow that abuse, all walk complacently to our shackles, and vote for her if she's the nominee.

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.

[geek tragedy]

23. they won't stop being pissed at her while they think they can win.

so, time to crush their hope of winning.

[The Midway Rebel]

25. Right. Retreat, then regroup.

Good plan.

[CrowCityDem]

27. What has Bernie done?

He still bashed the entire Democratic party as being corrupt, and exactly what he's fighting against. How, pray tell, is that talk going to unite the party?

[Maedhros]

28. By championing the working class, rather than shilling for rich people like your candidate.

/ignore list.

[thesquanderer]

29. Although it is not generally the role of the underdog to play the uniter...

...the fact is, he has largely handled Hillary with kid gloves. He has not gone after her at all on her obvious vulnerabilities regarding the emails and the clinton foundation, places where the Republicans are sure to go after her in the general. In a sense, he is deferring on this out of a sense of party unity, i.e. not wanting to be too divisive, not wanting to do the Republican's work for them, not wanting to cripple the likely nominee in the general.

But if Hillary comes after him hard, and he gets close enough to have a real shot, who knows what might happen...

[pdsimdars]

31. Nope, you got that wrong. Just like Hillary and the corporate Dems.

He is not bashing the party, only the CORRUPTION in the party. That means you must see the corruption as the entire party, that to be a Democrat means to be corrupt. We see the better part of what being a Democrat means. We want to bring that out and drop the corruption.

Completely different perspective. You identify with the corrupt part and WE identify with the better part, the part that stands up for regular people.

We'll see who wins.

[KPN]

38. Yes! +1

[djean111]

39. No, the party will not unite behind her.

I just could not. A lot of this shit from her makes me so embarrassed to be a Democrat, now. if she wins the nomination, I will wait until Aug. 30, to vote for Alan Grayson, and then I am OUT.
