(128 posts)Would be interesting to know who said that.
The Hillary team acts as if they can put their boot on our neck push our faces in the dirt and then we will get up , give them a big hug and kiss and then make their victory dinner for them.
Perhaps some wine from the movie arsenic and old lace for a start, then some Dixie Chick's blackeyed peas, (good bye Earl style )!

(5,400 posts)Blatantly criminal/unethical behavior still matters a lot to most of the country, and we're going to see much more conversation regarding that in regards Secretary Clinton and those close to her.

(5,400 posts)Nothing unites the Republican party like pointing at an ethical lapse by a Democrat. He's no statesperson but he might succeed in provoking the Clinton campaign into getting involved in a back and forth over his needling. He would need the Independent voters, and most of them don't think Clinton is honest/trustworthy*. If he can start swaying them he might warm the hearts of the Republican establishment.

Nearly 50% more Independents see Trump as honest than they do Clinton (31% vs. 21%). What a world.
And now Clinton aides have to testify in regards the FOIA case, and then again we'll see aides, and Secretary Clinton, needing to testify in interviews to the FBI. That will hurt, and more hurt will come as that drives up the underlying story towards more prominence in the news.
CliffsNotes/tl;dr: Clinton is extremely vulnerable, and she wants to wrap up having a "no-cut" contract with our party.

(17,064 posts)And I imagine a good number of voters stay home. But GOP hatred of the Clintons will make republican voters hold their noses and vote for Trump. Clinton campaign has already said they don't need Sanders Dems, and given the middle finger to Independants. That makes her path to the WH pretty bleak.

They are playing with Fire.

(2,968 posts)Clinton. He has to work with the Dems in the Senate.
I've already heard him say we must do everything possible to stop
Trump. Do I agree with it? Nope. I'm a "no party preference" kind of
person and will stay that way.

(39,451 posts)Jeff Weaver was actually trending on twitter last nite for standing with Bernie. Needless to say the tone of the Hillbots was vulgar in their attacks against Jeff, Bernie and us. Stuff that made my skin crawl, lots of ageism, sprinkled with antisemitism (that old jew from vermont needs to go) and tons of slurs. We are stupid, dumb, need to get out of the way cuz ya know, she won.
We were handed this on a silver platter. Get it out there, twitter, facebook - whatever social media you use.
It would be helpful if we knew who said this because the calls for him to resign should be loud and often - after all,
Hillary is going to move to her "unite" part of her campaign's plan (Destroy, Disqualify and Unite) and this senior aide made it that much harder for her to unite the dems around her.

lol, this is what the Clinton campaign brings to my mind.
"No. Not without incident."
"What's the point of our campaign continuing? To feel. 'Cause you've never done it, you can never know it. But it's as vital as breath. And without it, without love, without anger, without sorrow, breath is just a clock... ticking."
Please pardon the paraphrasing.
