Hillary flat out lied about Bernie!

CNN had a segment this morning from last night's debate showing Hillary attacking Bernie's policies and voting record,
in which CNN said the accusations were false.
While Bernie was denying the charges, Hillary stared at him with an arrogant smirk on her face.

In my humble opinion:
1. That's one reason Hillary has rock bottom ratings when it comes to trust and honesty.
2. That's why it'll be difficult for a lot of Bernie supporters to back Hillary if she gets the nomination without holding our noses and spraying the voting booth with a strong air freshener.

He says Hillary needs to get rid of people like Podesta and Brock. She probably didn't realize what kind of people they were when she hired them.

SHE chose those advisers. And it shows HER choice of people to take advice from. And IF she ever became president, those would be the caliber of people she chose to surround herself with.
Just like Obama chose Geithner and Summers for his treasury. . . he chose the very people who pushed for the deregulation that caused the economic crash to be advising him about the economy. Obama also chose all those people from Goldman Sachs to be in his government.
People excuse Obama for not being more progressive, they say it was congress who stopped him. Well, to some extent, but HE chose the kind of people to be in his administration. They were NOT progressive but corporate. If you choose deep corporate types to work with you and advise you, what kind of advice and direction do you suppose you will go in? Hmmmmm. Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. And it wasn't congress who made him do that.

She had known Podesta and Brock for well over 20 years each and knew exactly what they are. Sometimes sarcasm doesn't come off on the internet it you are challenged in the area of emoticons as I am.

A high-school debate tactic. Throw out everything under the sun, even ridiculous shit. Then when the opponent can't reply to everything in time, hammer the ones they missed.

Here's a link: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Gish_Gallop scroll down if interested to the spoken debate section.

Very unfortunate she's leading the race so far.

Hopefully that will turn around for all of our sakes.
