who will do the attacks for her.

Her plan is solid for the economy and hopefully with coat tails for the senate and house.

in the pocket of the GOP.

That was the previous poster's implication--intended or otherwise, however.

of putting words in Clinton's mouth.

And I did qualify my last by noting that the implication in Iliyah's post may have been unintended, so please kindly cut me as much slack as I've already offered.

the meaning of the word "implication"?

which I note you haven't yet answered.

#13 and try again. I'll check on your progress from time to time, but don't expect any hints or anything like that.

When you can provide an honest, direct answer, we can continue.

It's just heavily, ham-fistedly, completely unsubtly implied.

No one else here has implied anything like that, but you're entitled to your opinion.

This is not schoolyard politics where strawmen are cogent arguments.

Why don't people relax a bit and stop tearing down Democrats merely because they don't particularly like a candidate?

Childish rubbish, if you'd ask me.

but bullshit smears need to be called out.

She slammed Republicans?

Wow. Hardly hear tell of them here any more. If you spend a lot of time on DU, you can almost forget that the real enemy still exists.

Nice to know the next POTUS understands who the real enemy is!

and the friggin Planet at stake.

As she tries to start her failed 2008 engine that burned out....

Sanders is the new Obama, and he's even BETTER than Obama by miles!

And I'm glad she did it. I hope she does it again. And again.

Republicans are fair game - Democratic Party members should not be.

in spite of the media trying to get him to, is behind this behavior from Hillary. He led with this and it really wouldn't look good for her if she started in on it now. He raised the standards. He's been good for this campaign year so far, in a lot of ways.

think for her.

like Reich do the bashing, hoping for a job or publicity.

don't go after primary opponents,they run like it's the general. It's got nothing to do with her opponents and it's a political strategy as old as the hills.

No dirty tactics?

Google it.

Most people aren't paying attention and there is little benefit. It will happen.

....the real enemies in this battle: the GOP, Koch Brothers, Rove, and the occupants of the Clown Car.

especially when you have no significant Democratic opponents.

HOW DARE SHE RUN FOR PRESIDENT. HOW DARE SHE!!!

before the Main Event.

"I'm never going to let the Republicans rip away the progress we have made." That is exactly what I want to hear. No going backward.

Talk about low hanging fruit. Color me unimpressed.

low hanging fruit? Stretch much?

A ruse to shape your expectations.

He is the current GOP frontrunner. How is he a sideshow, & a ruse? Who's behind it? Is it himself, or do you fancy another entity in the background? How is it shaping my expectations when my expectations have already been met? I'm curious as to your thoughts on this. Thanks

directed by their owners of course. They amplify Trump's noise so you believe a moron could be president. Once you buy it, almost any alternative looks good. Voilà, expectations shaped and managed.

...by trumpeting Trump, it makes all the D candidates look good? Or was there a specific one you had in mind? If that was the case in your post, which it is not in my opinion, it should be making Bush, what's his name from Wisconsin, and the rest of the clown car look like super heroes. It's not. It's making them look even more pathetic than they already are. In order for your statement to be anything resembling true, the democrats would have to roll out the liberal equivalent of the trumpster, and even then it would probably have little to no effect on which candidate people choose, as for most people, that choice was made prior to the trumpster hopping on board.

Whatever pretense to outrage the RNC directs at Trump is only designed to make the rest of the field appear palatable by comparison. Fuck Trump's current numbers (hell, for that matter, fuck anyone's at this point in the process)! Recall how practically every Republican primary candidate led the pack at some juncture in 2011/12, while Romney, looking like a bowl of oatmeal, plodded along at what? 24%?

Given the attention span of the average American voter, hardly anyone will even remember Trump was in the mix come election day. They'll just see the relatively bland Bush, without quite recalling how he came to look (to them) so, uh, acceptable.

At least then we'd get something more genuine out of her.

You want the she should go for Jindal's jugular...or go for the GOB frontrunner of the moment? Sheesh what a really strange reason to bash Hillary.

opponents, and has moved on to taking on the Republicans. I don't expect any attacks on Democrats from any of the primary candidates. It's unproductive and would have a negative impact on support from Democratic voters.

No surprise here. She should continue taking it to the GOP. All of the primary candidates should do that.

I think that was the best stance she could have made

as Bernie Sanders calls for a 'revolution' and Martin O'Malley has some Clinton partisans on their feet – and she talks mostly about HERSELF.

When her supporters had stopped chanting 'HIL-LA-RY' – each candidate controlled the tables in one part of the cavernous banquet hall – the real show began.
Martin O'Malley, the former Baltimore Mayor and Maryland's chief executive, brought a mix of passion and pathos that Clinton appeared to have left on her private jet.
His introduction was met with a standing ovation from his own section, mostly in the back of the hall. By the time he was finished, many tables that had stood for Clinton were on their feet for him.
A bullhorn-blasting organizer and a gaggle of shouting young partisans delivered the point home as Democrats left for the night, shouting slogans about his progressive accomplishments.
At one point 'O-MAL-LEY! O-MAL-LEY!' morphed into 'GO-AWAY HIL-LA-RY!'
Inside, the former governor had lobbed the evening's first earnest bombs at Clinton from her left, ticking off a list of progressive litmus tests he had passed. . .

By the time he demanded a $15.00/hour minimum wage from coast to coast, people were listening.
This was a different O'Malley, a man confident of his bona fides and unintimidated by the Clinton juggernaut.
Even his fiery critique of Trump and 'his racist, hate-filled comments,' although not new, rang as more authentic.
O'Malley mocked the Republican presidential field for being divided on whether or not Trump's charges about 'rapists' and 'murderers' coming north from Mexico were correct.
'Divided?' he asked. 'As in, "not sure he's wrong?"'
