TYT: Hillary's "enemies" list
Published on Mar 21, 2016
Hillary Clinton keeps a list of her political friends and enemies. She does this so her staff can quickly decide who to reward and who to punish when favors are asked. Basically it’s for streamlining corruption. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"For months they had meticulously updated a wall-size dry-erase board with color-coded symbols, letters and arrows to track which lawmakers were leaning toward endorsing Hillary and which were headed in Obama’s direction. For example, the letters “LO” indicated that a lawmaker was “leaning Obama,” while “BD” in blue denoted that he or she was a member of the centrist Blue Dog Coalition on Capitol Hill.
As one of the last orders of business for a losing campaign, they recorded in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet the names and deeds of members of Congress. They carefully noted who had endorsed Hillary, who had backed Obama, and who had stayed on the sidelines—standard operating procedure for any high-end political organization. But the data went into much more nuanced detail. “We wanted to have a record of who endorsed us and who didn’t,” a member of Hillary’s campaign team said, “and of those who endorsed us, who went the extra mile and who was just kind of there. And of those who didn’t endorse us, those who understandably didn’t endorse us because they are (Congressional Black Caucus) members or Illinois members. And then, of course, those who endorsed him but really should have been with her … that burned her.””*

You're welcome.
don't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet you don't see the irony in your comment.
classy handle 
, but Cenk is still stuck in there arguing.
... Hillary and camp goes with the sexism defense.
I didn't realize Bill was female, since he's alleged to help keep this list and had his own.
Hillary and Bill's hit list, the smear is Hillary's hit list.
dastardly pair.
“He’s been a great leader,” McCaskill said of Bill, “but I don’t want my daughter near him.”
Instantly, McCaskill regretted her remark; the anguish brought her “to the point of epic tears,” according to a friend. She knew the comment had sounded much more deliberate than a forgivable slip of the tongue. So did Hillary, who immediately canceled a planned fundraiser for McCaskill.
A few days later McCaskill called Bill Clinton to offer a tearful apology. Bill was gracious, which just made McCaskill feel worse. After winning the seat, she was terrified of running into Hillary Clinton in the Capitol. “I really don’t want to be in an elevator alone with her,” McCaskill confided to the friend.
But Hillary, who was just then embarking on her presidential campaign, still wanted something from McCaskill—the Missourian’s endorsement. Women’s groups, including EMILY’s List, pressured McCaskill to jump aboard the Clinton bandwagon, and Hillary courted her new colleague personally, setting up a one-on-one lunch in the Senate Dining Room in early 2007. Rather than ask for her support directly, Hillary took a softer approach, seeking common ground on the struggles of campaigning, including the physical toll. “There’s a much more human side to Hillary,” McCaskill thought.
Obama, meanwhile, was pursuing her too, in a string of conversations on the Senate floor. Clearly, Hillary thought she had a shot at McCaskill. But for McCaskill, the choice was always whether to endorse Obama or stay on the sidelines. In January 2008 she not only became the first female senator to endorse Obama but she also made the case to his team that her support would be amplified if Govs. Kathleen Sebelius and Janet Napolitano came out for him at roughly the same time.
McCaskill offered up a small courtesy, calling Hillary’s personal aide, Huma Abedin, ahead of the endorsement to make sure it didn’t blindside Hillary.
But the trifecta of women leaders giving Obama their public nod was a devastating blow. Hate is too weak a word to describe the feelings that Hillary’s core loyalists still have for McCaskill, who seemed to deliver a fresh endorsement of Obama—and a caustic jab at Hillary—every day during the primary.

Apparently, Claire was eventually brought to heel.
TYT is in the tank for Sanders. This nonsense appeared in 2008 after Obama won the nomination, it's not an "enemy" list. Anybody here ever worked for a campaign? Every campaign has a list of people (politicians, mostly) who support and don't support the candidate.
You don't think that Sanders' campaign has a similar list?
If McCaskill and Kerry were at the top of this "enemy" list, when did Hillary retaliate for their lack of support in 2008? Kerry and Hillary have an amicable relationship. McCaskill endorsed Hillary and publicly suggested that she should run for president in 2012 (the same goes for Pelosi). McCaskill has been actively campaigning for Hillary.
The only one who is out in the cold is Richardson, and that's with Bill, not Hillary. Bill considered Richardson to be a good friend and never forgave him for lying to his face.
Bill and Hill are truly and completely shameless. How many have they thrown under the bus? Too many to count.
And as far as Dems being disgraced by scandal, their glass houses have some pretty serious cracks.
