By claiming he would not be there when Bernie attends the conference. I am sure they will come up with something else.

OP was fairly caustic (in another thread) about the fact that the Pope wasn't going to be in the Vatican while Bernie was there. Like you say, they'll come up with something else. Another red herring.

He's got 10 years on me, and I get tired just watching him. Dementia is more applicable to those followers of a seriously flawed inevitability.

Have you met him in person? I was right up next to him and his skin is FLAWLESS. Hardly a wrinkle other than the furrowed brow we all get (before Botox - LOL) and very healthy (he's white, so in his case, his color is a nice shiny pink). In person, he doesn't look as old as he does on TV. Kind of funny, really.

And thanks for correcting my a bit off the mark impression...

In person does he have those little 'out-of-control' eyebrow hairs like I do?
The ones I keep having to cut off because they grow faster than the hairs on my head?

28. Clinton ‘often confused’ says staffer in email
Sat Apr 9, 2016, 02:52 PM
Apr 2016

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was “often confused," according to a 2013 email from her longtime aide Huma Abedin.

The comment, which is likely to attract attention from Clinton’s critics on the presidential campaign trail, was revealed on Monday following a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from conservative legal group Judicial Watch.

In the Jan. 26, 2013, message, Abedin gave the note about Clinton while discussing the secretary’s schedule with another Clinton aide, Monica Hanley.

“Have you been going over calls with her for tomorrow?” Abedin asked Hanley. “So she knows [then-Indian Prime Minister Manmohan] singh is at 8?”

She was in bed for a nap by the time I heard that she had an 8am call,” Hanley responded. “Will go over with her.”

“Very imp to do that,” Abedin said in response.

“She’s often confused.”

It's fascinating to me because you went out of your way to make that incorrect claim but in all the many, many posts about Francis going to Lesbos I have not seen a single word about why he's going there. Do you know why?

about Jane Sanders going to Lesbos. Whoever that person was is among the crowd that's going to turn off the Hillary base as well as the Bernie base. Talk about bullying and lying and smear - that's the Clintoneers. Hillary better pull them back, but she won't. She's taken to playing the victim card lately. It's so disappointing.
