2. Fresh from her clandestine big ticket fundraiser

in Philadelphia with an investment firm facing regulatory scrutiny for its questionable "alternative investment” sales practices directed at small investors The candidate-as-chameleon is an old political cliché, but Clinton is making a run at covering all the bases in the space of just a few short weeks.


Sanders should open every speech with a video montage of Clinton’s statements from this campaign season:

Her calls for incrementalism.
Her defense of taking $680,000 from Goldman Sachs for three speeches.
Her dismissive “magic wand” comments about Sanders’ plans for Medicare-for-all and free college tuition.
Her “never, ever” to health care for all.
Her “moderate, guilty as charged” comment.
And then the photo of her sneaking in the side door of that Philadelphia fundraiser that, for some strange reason, was never placed on her public schedule. Sanders should inform his audience about company’s activities that have garnered regulatory scrutiny.

Finally, he should run short clips of the new, fiery, faux populist Hillary claiming she’ll rein in the bad actors and take on the special interests.

Then, only after his audience has stopped laughing, should he begin his speech.

...such as "everybody wants free stuff! Vote Hillary!"

And..."Vote for Hillary, not the socialist!"

And they're griping about single-payer and taxes and "spending other people's money"

ALL Republican talking points. ALL Hillary supporters.

I'll vote for her if she's the nominee, but she's essentially a moderate Repub - better of course than a Teabilly but still conservative.

Bernie is the only one running who actually embraces traditionally Democratic principles.

are forking over lots of money to Sanders.

No, Sanders is not the only one running who actually embraces Democratic principles.

There is O'Malley.

And Clinton has issues that I'm not happy with, but nobody is perfect.

Not even Sanders.
