It's like I tell my kids, who are in middle school and high school, "When people lie about you and say derogatory things about you, they're really revealing more about themselves than they ever could about you."

It makes them look desperate. And stupid.

Bernie is honest, principled and ethical, and the Clinton campaign is going to lose more support by lying and going negative. HRC has been around politics for decades. Apparently she hasn't learned a thing.

…..supposed to make all the millennials turn on Bernie? Her speech on health care was painfully cynical.

I agree, I don't know who thought this would be a good idea. Her Majesty's internals must look even worse than the polls that have been published.

So she managed to disappoint me still. She confirmed my idea that anything and anyone coming from Clinton cannot be trusted.

All along, it's seemed like Hillary didn't learn a thing from '08. She's making all of the same mistakes, including a willingness to say anything. Either she doesn't understand how badly this shit can backfire with ordinary people or she simply can't help herself.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Hillary is her own worst enemy. Bernie's running a good campaign, but on some level, Hillary is defeating herself.

would make PP unnecessary. That was shot down. Looks pretty prescient to me - because it looks like that is EXACTLY what they are thinking.
