Hillary and Hillary Media's new talking point.

"Bernie hasn't been attacked yet"..."He hasn't been vetted"..."The Repugs will tear him apart in the GE"...blah blah blah.

She tried the same crap back in '08.

Apart from the recycled tactic, I still don't buy it...if they were any dirt...She would've already lambasted it all over cable news, like she did w/ the New York Daily News hitpiece and like she's done recently w/ "THE CHAIR THROWING" in NV.

She needed to attack Bernie so bad in this campaign that she started making things up, like the "He voted against the auto bailout" lie before the MI primary

So, in other words, don't believe the hype!

9. Why would they worry about Bernie in the GE if she has this all wrapped up?

I thought she was coasting in to home plate without a care in the world.

Now I support Bernie Sanders, and do not feel that Hillary's Third Way and hawk stances, on the issues that are important to me, as representing the Democratic Party.

What has happened? Yes, Hillary has been vetted - and I don't like what I see.

Just because Hillary has been so "vetted" - that does not mean what was dragged into the light has been rendered acceptable. And - all of those new voters - they are seeing the Clinton baggage for the first time. Hillary may be used to it, but new voters are not.
