Marie Antoinette: Let them eat cake. Clinton Super Pac: Let them freeze.

The Clinton Super PAC email :

"also notes Sanders's role in supporting a deal with Chavez that provided heating oil to low-income people in New England nearly a decade ago — a program championed by former Rep. Joseph Kennedy II."

NY took the oil while Clinton was Senator. Im sure she spoke out about how horrible it was at the time.

He's going to have an easy campaign to get the nomination are delusional.Anybody could see this coming superpacs don't hold on to millions of dollars for nothing it's to go negative on a candidate they oppose.And for Sanders supporters to automatically blame Hillary for a superpac is not fair it's the law that the Supreme Court created it so get use to it until we either get the Senate or Congress we want or the Supreme Court we want to change the law

we are really just setting the record straight. We expected lies and smears. We remember how she ran against Obama. And to think Hillary does not know what her buddy Brock is doing is really ridiculous. No one will buy that one.

discuss and no coalition that I want to have any part of.

This mentality is just one of the reasons why my first priority is flushing the Turd Way, if this was my worldview then I would have just been a Republican in the first place.

If this is something to attack then I don't get how folks look in the mirror and consider themselves decent people much less good ones.

Some seem to insist on just being the Republicans without the Southern Strategy and as much of the phony baloney Gawd act and I can't follow you there. May your knife chip and shatter.

to a Huffington post reporter who made the comments public.
It would be nice if the truth were told once in a while. But it's Hillary so fair game I guess.

There's something almost poetic about using misattributed quotes like that in this context.
