"Single issue candidate"

Cheap shot from HRC. Campaign finance is the issue that impacts every other issue. You won't get real change on economic or social issues until you get rid of big corporate money in the political system.

I also don't think she wants anyone to dig into her record of flip-flopping on major issues and strongly supporting policies in the 1990's that have devastated minorities across the country.

This can easily be addressed by Bernie's campaign.

would that make him a "single issue candidate?"

There is a difference between talking about the symptoms and talking about the underlying pathology.

And the Clinton people know that.

Lying is the Clinton model and default strategy. Truth is always secondary to winning.

And endorsers worry about most. Don't want to stop the flow of that sweet sweet cash.

She firmly believes Hillary Clinton should be president. Anything else doesn't matter.

She'll claim to be in favor of equal rights for guys named Bob today, as long as the polls favor it, but if polling turns against the Bobs she'll advocate feeding him feet first into a woodchipper tomorrow.
