but it's simply the best that she can come up with and she hopes that enough people will buy it. Kind of sad isn't it.

which only had the onerous parts inserted AFTER Sanders voted for the stand-alone version of it, and then could not be untangled from a must-pass bill that would otherwise have shut down the government.

And who helped get those changes implemented, and what president ultimately signed it? Bill Clinton.

Hillary: "I can't believe you voted for that terrible Bill Clinton policy!"

This has got to backfire on her at some point. Bernie let it pass at the debate, I can only imagine that he is waiting for the appropriate time.

something that was distasteful to me about that entire 60 min exchange is that That Woman Did Not Let Up On The Obfuscating Red Herring Nonsense.

people think it's a problem that obama took money from sachs too.

they learned from their mistake. sorry hillary. shoulda spent more time on the democratic underground, and less ghostwriting your last bio. we woulda told you.

She seems oblivious to the fact that this is a ticket straight to Loserville.

On the other hand, I'm not sure what choice she has. Clearly, the flattering and cozying up to Goldman Sachs that is contained in her speech transcripts is so damaging she thinks she has no choice but to stonewall.

Stonewall AND make a conscious decision to go right-ward in her rhetoric. Having definitely painted herself into a corner, she'll play it hard and hope for the best.

the sad thing is she seems to believe her own spin.

i mean, there is a real list of real times in which she WAS influenced by WS money, just thinking of the incident with liz warren and the bankruptcy bill, for one; the real results for black children she promoted with bill's welfare reform. this information is out there for folks to find and evaluate; she does know that, right?

and then, to say she is not establishment (a good question, btw), and to compare her history AS that establishment with bernie's simply being elected from the tiny state of VT..... that becomes laughable.

sigh. sad.

"... Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has announced there is no need for anti-bribery statutes in the United States since the idea that corporations would give large sums of money to "influence policy" is absurd... At the same briefing, Clinton also announced that her staff have determined the Moon is made of cheese."

and now it's going to be played more and more as it is shared among voters. Maybe someone needs to play that for her because she apparently has blocked it out of her memory.
