2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTo squelch an ugly rumor, Hillary will ~not~ be going to Hong Kong while Bernie is in the Vatican
No, Hillary is going to be at George Clooney's house for a glittering star studded fund raiser there, it is one of her surrogates, Gary Gensler, who will be collecting the payoffs donations in Hong Kong.
Just wanted to clear that up.

Hillary at a hyper-exclusive fundraiser raking in enormous piles of money...while Bernie's at the freakin' Vatican participating in a discussion of social justice and income inequality.
Every marketer I know would beat a baby to death with a puppy for half that good an opportunity.

This is not just an epic opportunity for Bernie.
This is a four-alarm PR disaster for Clinton.
Hillary's digital response team and their bizarre behavior, slid way past jealousy and into some weird OCD-like territory. This absolutely explains their laser-like focus on all of this.
OMG.

(24,411 posts)Bernie will be discussing income inequality at The Vatican while Hillary attends an obscene $300,000 a plate dinner in Hollywood?
Is this for real?

(24,411 posts)If it is true, it certainly explains why her digital response team is working overtime on a Friday night.
Oh my...they will be slicing Bernie's invitation to attend this Vatican conference to ribbons--like rabid weasels in heat.

But yes, basically, this is why there is so much rat-fuckery today on DU about the Vatican visit. It is a deflection from the Clinton Machine quid pro quo realities while Sanders, as usual, walks his talk.

(24,411 posts)...a beautiful thing.
No wonder she dispatched the flying monkeys to try and tear down Bernie and his Vatican City invitation.
I had a moment of perfect clarity. I see now every attack as merely a projection of their own psychological short comings. I see every ginned up meme a means to divert attention from some recent bad Clinton statement or action.
I took a hide for calling the worst of them 'good Germans'. Simply they are following the 'orders' of their candidate and her campaign with very little self reflection or questioning.
Why in the bloody hell would you attack Sanders for going to a conference on economic morality? Jesus, that is about as progressive a position as could be had.
