handed to her and looked like a fool.

McCaskill did no one any favors with her statement.

which is why the attacks on bernie are getting more vile. they are genuinely nervous.

is anyone attacking trump? no..they are laughing at him. but they aren't laughing at bernie.

This kind of garbage doesn't play well with voters.

I don't think Hillary is a shoo in, nor can she necessarily win election with nasty BS like this.

You are just as tired as your worn out candidate.

Nobody buys retreads.

describe, either.

The comments were not ugly. She was giving her opinion.

Socialist?

Socialist?

Hmmm... Oh well, maybe it will come to me in a little while, I know I've heard that word used in a derogatory manner before by someone, maybe it was on the radio while I was driving.

She "never reads in any of the {press) coverage that he's a Socialist". And the the press never mentions that Hillary's an
Oligarchist.

through surrogates...specifically so you continue to like her. Her surrogates, not so much, but that doesn't matter because (s) they're not the ones running for POTUS, and (b) voters have short term memory anyway.

Candidates having others come out to fling mud.

the candidate look like assholes. Pretty much what darling Claire did today.

technique, precisely because it allows a candidate to get their attacks out there without having to own them.

Everybody and his damn brother knows this.

Effective? Nah.

It's a lot closer than it appears. Looks like within the next few weeks, he'll be leading NH and IA, and working on SC and NV.

That's all I have to say....

a wingnut rightie. Geez! Let's be real. Both Hillary and Bernie are very smart people and very accomplished. Dissing Hillary or Bernie with GOP dogwhistles really defeats the purpose of keeping the WH and taking back Congress in 2016.

Just say that Bernie is great and has an important message but Hillary has the experience and leadership credentials and proven record of standing up for working Americans and so on.

No need to demonize Sanders.

been sucking up since 2013.

She has the wall street money and the adoring fan base that will go as low as necessary to cut off any challenges. She'll probably need them for the ge, as a lot of dems are going to be turned off during the primary.

she has 2.5 billion. I think that can buy a lot of slime.

$2.5 billion?

That's an awful lot of money. It stretches credulity that one candidate should have much, and honestly it makes me want to vomit that these people (all of them and their super PACS) are spending SO much money that could be used instead to help people instead of just get them power.

Too much money.

about the Republican Party rolled into one smug, rich, corrupt package.

It is often considered bad form in Washington.

I guess we'll see if any of it sticks. You know, for years we've been told negative campaigns work, yet Bernie has said he won't be negative - he will just tell the truth. But will he have surrogates? Will they get tough? It will be very interesting to see how this plays out.

I grew up in the 60s, and at that time, we all naively believed the good guys always won in the end because truth would prevail. Bernie does not seem to love power; he did not seem to want to run, and yet is perhaps doing so from a sense of responsibility. I wonder if it will work for him (and for us)?

I hope it does.

daily, latest poll from Iowa eg, shows her down six points, Bernie up six points.

McCaskill herself is offensive, she is all that is wrong with the Dem Party.

As far as Bernie supporters supporting Hillary IF she should win, many are signing up as Dems JUST to vote for Bernie, they will definitely NOT vote for Hillary and the Dem Party should not count on that. They are people who left the Dem party, Independents who do not like what is going on with with Dem party and many who were previously non-voters, I've signed up a few of them, and they will not vote for Hillary as she represents the status quo, which is why they became non voters.

McCaskill betrayed the American people this week. She should be ashamed to show her face let alone attack someone who stood up for them and always has.
