be that nice.

and what her TPP and Corporate buddies will do to the rest of us.

I did say that their attendance and their preference for Clinton doesn't change what NAFTA did and TPP may do to their town. That's true whether NAFTA was a net positive or net negative for their town.

Some Flint citizens have even said they would prefer she not politicize the incident.

with the number of (approximately 10k) children that have been poisoned by Governor Snyder- you'd think attendance would be much higher.

... or if they have finished shooting for this season? Might be an interesting play on SNL appearances...

From when he played Bernie on SNL earlier...

Shouldn't she have been volunteering at a homeless shelter?

The universe was in perfect harmony when that happened so it was ok for her.

she is running behind.

Transparent exploitation and pandering

the NAFTA poster city - hope Bill goes with her!

I'm sure with all that money she gets from speaking fees, she could donate some money to help their cause. Yeah right! What did she do for Flint while she was there? Drama Queen HilLIARy.

That was a totally shitty comment for Clinton to make, because she knows that.

She has lots of money.

DU is funny these days.

At least that's what some of Flint's residents are thinking:

There is a tragedy occurring every day for citizens everywhere that can be exploited for political gain. Flint's situation is horrific and an example of what happens when elected officials are bought and paid for by private interests. Tomorrow it will be another city. Maybe it will be poisoning from fracking. Maybe it will be an injustice perpetrated by a for profit private prison system. Who knows? Just know there will be some politician mliking it for political gain woke not actually solving any problems.

Giving speeches or useless advice, instead
of ordering 10,000 bottles of water for them?

I know that if Bernie had been asked to come,
he would not have made it a media event to
be used for political purposes.

She should get her own house in order, how much of her speaking fees was on the back of the people of Detroit.
While people were getting their water shut off, money was flowing into Hillary's sphere of influence.

i am sure she could tell them to "cut it out" if she cared but

the Corruption in Clintonville is vast and disgusting so I am not holding my breath.

will somehow spin this as showing how real Bernie is and how fake Hillary is.

I actually don't care that he went to be on SNL. But I do know that if Bernie had gone to Flint this weekend and Hillary had gone to be on SNL, Bernie's fans would have used it to show how little she cares and how much he cares.

It does not matter what either one does. It's the spin.

It was cheap and undermines her motives for being there.

Remember that Bernie's appearance on SNL was probably planned in advance.

And although they could have filled the space with something else, I believe he takes his commitments seriously.

Now, what I do care about is the kind of threatening and insulting comments some of Hillary's surrogates have been spewing.

Following the boys, rings of hell-fire.

Yea, now that is presidential material.

And I am not a "Bernie fan"

I am a Bernie Sanders supporter.

local economies. He also understands that we need Federal investment in Infrastructure and Flint is not the only water system in trouble.

While Hillary beholdens herself to the Banksters… and obfuscates the real issues… although now I am doubting that she even has a clue what the real issues are for ordinary americans.

He is better than that.

On edit: I don't now believe that distasteful tweet came from Clinton herself, but a supporter.

I think it's great that she's there drawing attention to the crisis. I just don't think she should be using it for political points because that would be really cruddy. Her supporters probably shouldn't be doing that either.

How many were killed in the Iraq War she voted for?

Like pick up a shovel to help lay a new water main? Donate $100 million to replace house pipes and faucets? If so, I'd be impressed. But this is Hillary, the bar must be set low...she's probably going to use some black people as props for a photo-op. Anything more would be "doing something".

She needed to have kept her mouth shut. On the other hand, I reserve judgment as to whether she really said it. It would be a stupid thing to say.

I think that it was a supporter. The post makes it look like it was hers.

for the one where Bernie was in Iowa criticizing Hillary for being where she was.

If we win I hope he will put her in charge of the Flint rescue. I think the women loves her some little kids.

She clearly has no shame.

If she were doing it solely for the people of Flint she wouldn't have made that comment. Remember when Bernie met the family of Sandra Bland's family? He didn't go tweeting about it to exploit it for political gain. Because he doesn't use people and tragedies in an attempt to get himself closer to the White House.

Plus, did she forget she went on SNL while this was happening in Flint? While a lot of other terrible things were (and still are) happening? She is guaranteeing her own loss by being such dirty player of politics and a terrible one at that. No wonder the establishment is afraid she is blowing this campaign.
