Can the Clinton campigbn make up its mind? Delicate Flowers or Tough and Effective Army?

My head spins. Will the real Clinton Campaign please stand up, please stand up?

Clinton is tough and she is capable of herding the cats of the Democratic Party and left of center independents and moderates into a strong invincible army capable of defeating all opponents, whether it is Trump, the GOP or Isis.

But then they claim to be morally offended if Bernie tosses a few little spitballs that are much softer than most candidates in high-stakes campaigns do.

"Owwwwwie. That Bernie guy is so mean. We can't take his horrible brutal attacks. He is such a negative campaigner -- it's unfair. Waaaaaa Waaaaaa Waaa! Bring me my fainting couch!"


If Bernie and his supporters are is too much to handle...How the hell is she going to stand up to Trump? If her campaign is so prim and proper that a few "Berniebros" are too much for their frail constitutions, how is she going to corral the recalcitrant GOP?

If Bernie mentioning that the fossil fuel industry has too much influence makes her so angry, how the hell is she going to make a convincing argument against the GOP?

But in fairness, his supporters do look like a bunch of hooligans. I wouldn't want to run into any of them in a dark alley.

I did notice a lack of diversity in the pictures I picked and was correcting it, so that wouldn't be used as another deflection.

But are you frail flowers who are intimidated by these mean looking ordinary people?

If Clinton and her supporters are this thin skinned against some weenie progressives, I'm sure looking forward to see how she'll stand up to the heat in the general...or in the WH.

I guess she'll point a finger at Trump and tell him to stop lying, and Trump will slink away.

And I guess she'll whine about mean those Isis people are for saying bad things about her.

It's not Bernie "I haven't studied that" Sanders. Winning is strength.
