2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe sleaze that went on in Nevada is going to catch up to Hillary. Her campaign is doomed.
I see right through the time-worn act of the Clintons' use of surrogates to smear and viciously attack opponents, while they pretend to be above the fray, smug and holier than thou. (As if they even have a leg to stand on!) She doesn't have a 55% unfavorable rating for nothing.
But the young and connected have her number, and will continue spreading the truth about their never-ending lies. And none of this takes into account the very real federal case growing against her.... South Carolina may well be her last hurrah.

(2,074 posts)They're always accusing Obama of dividing the country on race.
I don't see how Hillary is dividing us on race, just because Bernie is not making enough inroads in the African American community.

(17,064 posts)...every election. She has the highest dishonesty and negative rating of any candidate in either party. She loses to every single Republican in a head to head matchup. No candidate with those negatives has won a GE. Her supporters are deluding themselves. Fortunately, the November disaster is entirely on their shoulders. They're gonna eat this one.

(7,006 posts)Rubio is creeping up on Trump -- the other nightmare. If the Democrats nominee anyone but Bernie - I'm preparing in advance of the last years of any type of Democratic Leadership for the 99% in America - as Hillary will lose. She can cheat but getting past her obvious negatives will not work when America votes in November.
Save Progressive Principles by Standing with Bernie or we all lose as Hillary cannot win the general.

(7,637 posts)that Hillary and Bernie's lines where about to "cross", yes the trend was for Bernie. I think that after her Nevada win and very likely south Carolina win, she will have stopped Bernie's momentum and reversed the trend. I guess we will see in less than a month.

Come and read with me,
Open your eyes,
Open your mind,
Come and read with me.
That's the opening song at the preschoolers' storytime at my local library. I take my granddaughter every week and this song came to mind (I must have unconsciously memorized it!)
Until you catch up on the reading here is the out-takes version of one of the Sleaze episodes (quotes indicate gist only-not exact speech)
Dolores Huerta at NV caucus: "I'll translate in Spanish."
Caucus attendees: "No, you're here stumping for Clinton-you're not a neutral party."
Dolores Huerta Tweets: "Bernie Sanders supporters shouted at me to speak in English only."
Susan Sarandon: "Not true. I was there. The moderator said English Only"
Video appears online in which SBS supporters at that caucus are calling for a neutral translator.
SBS supporters online: Huerta tweeted a lie.
Dolores Huerta: I might have made a mistake
DUSS: Dolores Huerta Foundation recently received 100K from the Clinton Foundation
DUCS: That was not a bribe!

(50,562 posts)Oh, and the 900-person list of people who overdonated to his campaign? Not to mention the front group popularly called "Bernie Bros" that does all Sanders' dirty work for him? The more you look at Bernie's campaign, the less you like him.
bobbobbins01
(1,681 posts)Now the Bernie Bros are a front group? I think I've heard everything. Bernie is practically Al Capone.

(50,562 posts)However, I DO have the transcript of a speech Bernie is going to wish he never made:
http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/must-read/sanders-remarks-on-complementary-and-alternative-health-care
He gave the opening remarks at a Vermont quack conference in 2010. He's ALSO the guy who shoved coverage for naturopathic practitioners into Obamacare...in other words, your healthcare premiums are going to people who practice homeopathy.

Let's hope South Carolina is the last Firewall as I'm beyond sick and tired of hearing about all things Clinton. It is time for establishment politics to go the way of cow manure.

(5,066 posts)the fix is in.the establishment won't let her lose.they don't care if dems lose in november as long as bernie loses and she is nominee.

(3,687 posts)are as sleazy and you always knew they were. We're just seeing more proof of it lately.
If the "leadership" pf the Dem party continues with this garbage they are going to find themselves all alone at some point.
