(608 posts)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

(24,411 posts)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.

(24,411 posts)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.

(7,661 posts)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.....

(3,845 posts)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.

I think her arrogance will be her undoing. If not now, later.
