Another poster on DU had previously said he couldn't bear the thought of being scolded by her for the next 4 years, and it occurred to me that is exactly the way I feel when she is speaking.

Thanks for all you posts, UG

Peace

around her, her sense of entitlement, and her absolute belief that the rest of us don't see right through her. It's like Dick Cheney combined with a smarmy televangelist.

4. The irony about that

is her sentence, "You are not just going to wave a magic wand and make the special interests disappear."

That was in 2008.

She spent 2008-present day taking money from those special interests. She emboldened and strengthen them and allowed them to continue to corrupt our political process.

It is clear that Hillary acts like it is soooooo hard to tame those special interests, because she doesn't want to do a damn thing about them, or the status quo.

Step aside HRC. We've got this.

We don't need a magic wand to get special interest money out we just need a President who will stop enabling special interests by accepting their money.

just stop taking their checks and having coffees with them, while they dictate your campaign strategy--right down to the talking points.

Seriously. Anyone else still wondering how in the hell THAT happened?

I so can't wait until Sanders becomes President, so I no longer have to be disgusted by my government.

she was very dramatic, but I believe she has lost some of her pizzazz vs Bernie. Maybe losing against Obama took some wind out of her sails.....

Does she think she's invisible or something, that we can't see her making millions off the very mechanisms she claims she would want to fix but is terribly unable to due to not having a magic wand?

This shtick used by the right wing of the Democratic Party, that they'd do this and they'd do that but they're just unable to, has become all too obvious. Sorry, we're on to your game, give it up.

..and that the threat of the GOP will scare us into line.
I think her arrogance will be her undoing. If not now, later.
