Hillary Clinton Says "It's Going To Take A Grassroots Movement" And Thanks DailyKos

Last edited Thu Mar 10, 2016, 06:08 AM - Edit history (1)



And THEN in almost the same breath, she says she'll definitely take lobbyists' money.... WHAT!?

Even today she still hasn't figured out what 'Grassroots' is all about, but lucky for us Bernie has! She was definitely right about one thing -- it's going to take a Grassroots Movement to get to the White House... and Bernie Sanders has it!

I guess standing up to the insurance companies and the drug companies for awhile during the healthcare battle was all the fight she had in her, so now she figures it's better to take their bags of money right up front and forget her principles. Yet somehow she considers herself akin to the Progressive Movement?

Nice how that 'scruples' thing has an 'on' and 'off' switch on it.

Maybe we need someone who's rudder doesn't shift in the political current every time a wave of cash hits the side of their boat....

You could do one, the other, or both. Her campaign is supported by both.

Just want to add that Sanders himself acknowledged that the public finance system in place for elections is not workable at this time during their Msnbc debate just before NH.

Daily Kos, I'm not going to their site anymore. Not because they're for Hillary, but because they fired someone that wrote the truth about her and the administrator *Cough*Markos Moulitsas*Cough* doesn't like when someone that works for him praises Sanders. That's why she thanked Daily Kos.

Daily Kos - The pro Hillary site, only Hillary and that's it. They fire people that are for Sanders.

establishment talking about grassroots movements?

Has she no shame? Grassroots are for the little people who feel steamrolled by the establishment.

and untrustworthiness

and her untrustworthiness is being rated terribly by DEMOCRATS -- can you imagine what they are across the rest of the voter landscape of Independents & Republicans?

abysmal
