I thought Hillary Was Tough?!?

All her surrogates and campaign reps are CRYING FOUL at Bernie's "attacks". If you mean facts and issues that Bernie's pointing out and how Hillary doesn't represent liberals on these issues, if that's what you are calling "attacks" then BOO FUCKING HOO...

If Hillary can't take the heat now, SHE'S NOT WORTHY TO BE THE NOMINEE!

Your candidate is subverting the will of the party and its platform by engaging in a really sketchy mechanism to support her candidacy. Grasp those facts and let go of the straw.

The jeers and warnings because Hillary is tough and is used to this stuff. (Um, because she actually has so much real and verifiable baggage, folks).

And now BERNIE is too mean to her? FFS.

And it is so very telling that the Hillary campaign is afraid of issues. because, frankly, she stinks on the issues - she panders, she waffles, she is GOP-lite. At best. War, fracking, the TPP? Good grief! That's a Democrat?

be damaged by the primary (I am looking at you Biden) - strong candidates don't have to worry about things like that

She is running as a strong leader, but can t deal with a little competition from someone who is not attacking her on so many places the republicans will attack her on. Sanders is sticking to things that Republicans can't attack on, accepting big money, being pro-war, etc. if she is crying foul over that, I don't want to watch the GE, she will be toast, a poor widdle victim of mean wepublicans and it will all be Sander's fault because he didn't kiss her ring.

For a strong candidate she surely has a think skin.

Now you have moved on to questioning the toughness of the only women running. You are on a roll. Can't wait to see the tone this evening.

If you want to be tough, try calling out Sanders and Weaver on their highly unethical behavior. Clinton isn't the one lacking toughness and no one with any sense questions her toughness.

Which sent Hillary supporters onto their fainting couches.

Then, horrors! It was a Vatican invite where Hillary had to send her minions out with even more lies and innuendos and, one would suppose, even more fainting couches.

Let's get this straight. Bernie's in this race until the convention. And abject lies are not going to change that. Live with it, Hillary fans. Fainting couches available, maybe at IKEA.

I've been watching the Clintons for the past twenty-five years, and I used to be an admirer. I think we all know that Hillary is no shrinking violet. She's one of the toughest people in politics. Remember the witch hunts in the 90s? The 11-hour hearing?

I don't think this business of screaming sexism every time someone disagrees with her represents her real feelings, and I think it's a very, very bad strategy, partly because anyone who knows anything about her knows that she's not a delicate hothouse flower (and thus knows the swooning-over-sexism thing to be an act) but especially because the argument comes uncomfortably close to the old Victorian notion of women being too delicate for the rough and tumble of public life.

I much prefer her Iron Lady persona.

She's actually pretty meek and mild in her attitude toward right wing republicans, pentagon brass, defense contractors, large donors to the Clinton foundation, and hedge fund managers.

who knew him said it was better to be his enemy than this friend.

If you're his friend, he'll take you granted, maybe even throw you over the side if he can gain from it.

If you're Bill's enemy, he'll move heaven and earth to make you love him.

That's certainly how his presidency looked at times.
