Video: Mrs. Clinton wouldn't have said the dishonest Sanders smear her Super PAC said on her behalf

[portlander23]

Cross-posted from the primaries group.

Jennifer Granholm, senior advisor for Correct the Record: "I dont think this is the kind of thing that she would be uttering. She has been entirely positive."

Mrs. Clinton wouldn't have said the dishonest thing her Super PAC said on her behalf.

Got it.

Hillary Clinton’s Second Email Scandal

[in_cog_ni_to]

1. The only reason she says that is because

it didn't fly! No one believed it (except DU Hillary supporters) and the entire internet exploded with the TRUTH to counter it. She's not fooling anyone. That was approved to be leaked. It didn't go well.

2. The most blithely self-unaware campaign I've ever seen. nt

4. To be fair, it is hard to run against Bernie....

His decision making process always leads him to support the people over the powerful.

[MannyGoldstein]

5. I thought Hillary wouldn't run because of Bernie

I couldn't imagine how she could debate him without bursting into flames. I was obviously wrong about her not running, and about it taking until the debates for her toburst into flames.

3. Are Larry, Moe, and Curley running her campaign?

Biggest trainwreck I've seen. Even the '08 fiasco wasn't this bad.

[MissDeeds]

7. I'm afraid it's only going to get worse

Her campaign will pull out all the stops this time. No way will she go down to defeat a second time without doing everything and anything to win.

[HooptieWagon]

8. True.

The Sanders smear came right after her appearance on The Ellen Show to introduce the New and Improved Nice Hillary. She'll be slinging more mud from the gutter soon enough.

[SoapBox]

11. Her minions will fling mud...

Other minions will apologize defending her...

And she will remain silent.

It's over, Hill.

[merrily]

14. People "evolve," but only to a point. The campaign was unsavory in 2008 and they're doubling down.

"Americans don't like negative campaigning but sometimes.......they reward it." Former President Bill Clinton, speaking in 2015.

"I've never run a negative campaign in my life." Bernie Sanders, who has been winning elections since 1981, despite being an Indie without much money to spend, etc.

Let's hope American voters--the few that there still are--wake the fuck up and realize that the ability and willingness to run a Rovian smear campaign does not necessarily the best elected official make.

6. "I dont think this is the kind of thing that she would be uttering"

I guess that's true - she's having her surrogates do it for her.

[dorkzilla]

9. and she still won't condemn Brock's email!

Chicken!

[SoapBox]

10. Jennifer Granholm....

Another crushing disappointment!

I absolutely love the speech she gave for Obama 2012...now this.

Sorry Gov. that you are going in the Entrenched Establishment Trash Bin, like so many others.

[merrily]

12. Of course she wouldn't say it. That's what campaign surrogates are for.

Through a loophole in campaign finance laws relating to the internet, the PAC that spread that spread that smear can both (a) accept dark money from undisclosed sources; and (b) coordinate with the Clinton campaign. Verbum sapienti satis est.

I didn't realize Granholm was part of Hillary's campaign. Is that why her name was floated as a replacement for Debbie Republican Schultz? So that, if we succeed in getting rid of DWS, we get another DNC head under Clinton control? One that is senior advisor to the smear Bernie machine? And we're supposed cheer because we assume getting rid of DWS after all these years means real change? http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7129066

One of many reasons I am grateful for the internet is that I get to read things by good to great writers who don't have to shill for any of the major parties, like those in the msm and even supposedly liberal outlets like rawstory. http://www.rawstory.com/category/panic-in-funland/ (very interesting writer, IMO, but toes the party line).

I'd rather watch Cenk, Schultz and Hartman and read writers like Will Pitt, MannyGoldstein, and yes, even that uber creepy TWM , any day of the week and twice on Sundays than watch or read those who have to, or feel they have to, shill for one party or another.

13. I don't think anyone believes that.

The most I would believe is that she would not say it personally. So there won't be a youtube. Shit like this is what the big money is for.
And anyone who believes Citizens United is going anywhere, if she were president, is a gullible damned fool.
