(42,862 posts)Well, I had to think about it for a moment... it did lack obvious context. Your guess seemed logical!

(42,862 posts)Jane also said this on General Election Day (see below). She wasn't encouraging her followers to vote for the Democrat. It's clear that she was giving her followers "permission" to vote for someone other than the Democrat. In this case, she was specifically expressing her APPROVAL that someone had voted for Jill Stein.
It's clear to me that Jane is no fan of (nor friend to) Democrats or the Democratic party. What good purpose does it serve for her to go around saying things like this? Why denigrate Democratic candidates. Why create resentment and distrust? It only serves divide and weaken our party. It only serves to drive-away folks that would otherwise vote for Democrats and support the party... so why do it? Why say such things? Why the hostility and bitterness?
Is she going rogue? Or does she need her own advisor to help her craft her message and stay on-message? (And in this case, the crafted message would ideally be one that benefits Democrats and the Democratic party.)

(42,862 posts)She's made herself an easy target with having made so many poor and questionable decisions, and based on the things she's said and tweeted. She'll have only herself to blame.

(68,582 posts)Also, the large money paid to the step-daughter will be brought out. They will hint that Sander used his influence to help Jane with the mortgage...now there is no evidence of that and Snopes said it was false...but the innuendo alone will hurt Sanders. He may also be placed under investigation as Hillary was. There is plenty of oppo out there and it has nothing to do with our side...the GOP will use it. I would rather it come out now than be a surprise in the general.

(20,709 posts)That's pretty much going to be a constant no matter who we nominate. It's also not a surprise, as you showed there is a NYT article and other press about it, along with snopes debunking it. Everyone knows about it, and everyone knows it's bullshit. I know that won't stop the GOP, but they can manufacture lies about anyone, and they will.

(68,582 posts)which left students with nowhere to go...and Jane got a severance also and then there is the payment to her daughter's Woodworking school of $500,000 in tuition money. This is problematic and would be investigated in the Senate and by Barr IMHO.
Most would agree she should not have taken that mortgage based on future donations... I don't have an opinion on this...feel sorry for the kids of course. But Trump will use it as a cudgel. I will add that the idea that people don't go to jail for falsifying mortgages (not saying Jane did this but that is what she will be accused of) is false...a close family member of mine went to club Fed for two years for doing just that.
