(15,480 posts)Sanders should open every speech with a video montage of Clintons 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 companys activities that have garnered regulatory scrutiny.
Finally, he should run short clips of the new, fiery, faux populist Hillary claiming shell rein in the bad actors and take on the special interests.
Then, only after his audience has stopped laughing, should he begin his speech.

(22,666 posts)...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.

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.
