Good week for Hillary

[TMontoya]

Despite her WI loss (which wasnt exactly a "win" for Bernie) she has come out swinging and finally the kid gloves are coming off. In the span of three days Bernie has a trainwreck of an interview, is called out for saying Hillary is unqualified, and of course got caught pretending to be a "native New Yorker". Hillary is in great position to pick up a solid win in NY likely knocking Sanders out of legitimate contention. I suspect the debate will be like the others, Sanders repeating his one single talking point no matter the issue, and Hillary offering pragmatic solutions to this nations problems. Though I also suspect Sanders sensing its now sudden death for him will go hard at Clinton which will backfire. He will tow the usual Berniebot talking points while throwing in some nasty jabs. Exposing him as a hot tempered ill-equipped candidate.

Final realistic NY prediction?

Hillary 58-42

[TMontoya]

2. lol

Oh look! A Berniebot!

Why are you posting in a protected group? Just to stir up trouble? THat would be par for the course for Sanders supporters.

6. You know what?.. you really Need to Stop Projecting.. it's really unseemly. Just mind your

own business. Try encouraging the BS fans to clean up their "mindless" act and then you can talk about others. Not before.

[Stand and Fight]

7. How is it that someone who has been a member since 2001 w/ 2 posts wanders in here?

Right! You're just trying to stir up crap. Don't you have anything better to do than post garbage in a protected forum?

[SunSeeker]

10. Good catch. MIRT already dispatched that smelly sock. LOL

[JohnnyRingo]

11. I wondered that myself.

Two posts in 16 years? This breaks Scalia's record by a hundred. It's like a Tibetan Monk remaining wordless for nearly two decades and suddenly breaking silence to yell about Hillary supporters.

13. Mahalo, JohnnyRingo! How does that work.. you think you might need a zombie sock 16

years ago and when the time is right you bust it out to troll the Hillary Clinton Group?

That's just strange.. #s 2 and 6 had it exactly right!

[Stand and Fight]

15. Well, I was juror 2...

[Cha]

23. I just said you had it right along with #6.. thank you! the troll's gone but still. :)

[Cha]

3. Great analysis, TMontoya~ Will he have one of his "Excuse me, I'm Talking!!!!" Moments, again?..

He can't seem to help himself.

We shall see about your prediction.. 11 more days. Countdown!

I like he got busted, too.. trying to act like he knew about the subway now.

[TMontoya]

5. Yes!

I am confident in my prediction with all the data available at this time. Even the outlier poll has her well ahead. To me this seems like a logical prediction based on the data.

[pandr32]

26. I am so encouraged today...thanks!!!

[Satch59]

4. I like those numbers...

He's doing some interviews tomorrow so let's see how he tries to worm his way out. He may regret pushing hard for this debate next Thurs. NY press won't let up and he doesn't seem to react well when his buttons are pressed. His "I'm a NY tough guy" hat is not fitting so well...

[TMontoya]

8. It's insulting actually

I am from NJ so I don't claim to be a NYer. However NYers aren't so much different from those who live in NJ. People around my area don't like people pretending to be "one of them". In fact being from NJ I still find it quite insulting only NOW he is playing the "born in the Bronx" angle. Honestly I had no idea he was even born there, I always considered him to be "from Vermont".

And it really disgusts me how he is going to great lengths to basically say Hillary has cared little for and done nothing for NY. Both Bill and Hillary were right at the front during 9/11 and after, doing everything they could to help the city recover.

Ok Im going to stop type or I will go on a 5 page rant lol.

[Satch59]

12. Agree...

I lived in NY 30yrs and just recently moved to CO so my heart is still a NYer... NJ has the same heart and his unqualified statement of Hillary is really a knock on NY: she worked hard for us for 8yrs and that makes her unqualified for President?

He will not win NY...

[Surya Gayatri]

17. He does seem to have quite a short fuse -- especially when targeted by a mere "WOMAN"...LOL!

[SunSeeker]

9. Sanders really stepped in it.

His wife, Jane "Still Lookin for those Tax Returns" Sanders, went on the Rachel Maddow show tonight to try to smooth things over. Jane said he "shouldn't have used that word" (unqualified). Yet Sanders and Weaver are only doubling down. The Sanders camp needs to coordinate talking points a little better.

[Surya Gayatri]

16. Wasn't that uncomfortable? She's a nice lady, but completely out of her depth.

I'll bet Weaver/Devine brought her in for "reprogramming" after that very obvious gaff.

And, they'll be back tripling down on the "unqualified" meme in today's news cycle.

[SunSeeker]

29. She acted like it was no big deal.

She told Rachel she was making "making a bigger deal out of this than it is." And all this with a smile on her face.Then she said Bernie doesn't think Hillary is unqualified and that what he was saying was that "if Hillary was going to call him unqualified" then we should look at Hillary's Wall Street money and talk about Hillary's qualifications. Of course, Sanders didn’t use the word "if"," so she is just making shit up. Then she accused the Clinton campaign of a months-long strategy of trying to "disqualify" Bernie and that is what drove Bernie's remarks.

In other words, Jane lied like a rug.

[Surya Gayatri]

30. Right through her capped teeth...

[Cha]

18. I think they do it on purpose.. obfuscate.. talk out of both sides of their collective mouth.

is she suppose to be the good cop?

[SunSeeker]

27. She's just as slimy as Weaver.

She of course brought up Hillary's "Wall Street PAC money," and implied that is why Hillary is going in a "different direction" than Bernie. Maddow did not challenge her on that at all either.

[Cha]

28. That's too bad she doesn't get challenged. What are the pundits there for...just to listen?

I know they're all slimy.. seems you can't be in that bunch without it.

You probably saw this.. just a reminder of jane sanders on President Obama

Whoa: Jane Sanders' Interview with Chris Hayes

Jane Sanders, who is married to Bernie Sanders, did an interview with MSNBC's Chris Hayes last night, and it was something. And by "something," I mean "super shitty."

Sanders: Well, the age of the Obama coalition was two thousand eight. This is two thousand sixteen. And we'll see either the Sanders coalition, or the Clinton coalition. Uh, I think that it's— You're absolutely right; we need to reach the, uh, the African American voter better. As I said, they're not that familiar with them—with Bernie. What we've done is, um, try to reach the working class voter, uh, the middle class voter, and not go, uh, not divide and, and, and reach out to individual sectors of the community. The Latino community, the African American community, the women, the men, the—the young. Um, but we have to do a better job on that. Um, and we know that, and we are going forward. I think if you look at the, uh, election results of yesterday, you'll see that we were—we had increased, uh, significantly with the Latino vote. Um, and in terms of the wide discrepancy, the same discrepancy holds true with Bernie against Clinton in terms of anybody under 30, no matter what race, what ethnicity—

I can only guess that the BS camp is going around trying to wipe out their previous history disparaging President Obama because the geniuses there finally figured out their losing fucking votes because of it. Too late.

Thank you, SunSeeker

[Her Sister]

24. Was she asked about those taxes?

[SunSeeker]

25. No. It was quite the softball interview.

[Surya Gayatri]

14. He's appearing increasingly crotchety and curmudgeonly - not a "winning" demeanor.

[MarianJack]

19. I believe...

...that Back Bench Bernie will be mathematically DONE within a few more weeks. In the course of this primary campaign, I've lost every bit of respect that I ever had for him. It seems that he hasn't seen a single Republican/teabagger smear that he doesn't love. His recent campaign style certainly seems to have been ripped from the Lee Atwater/KKKarl Rove playbook!

I will say again that he has neither the personal toughness nor the smarts to ever compete in a national campaign against non Vermont Republicans.

PEACE!

[TMontoya]

20. Exactly

He rips right wing talking points and nonsense and claims it as fact. Of course only the ones specific to Clinton. I also believe this is in his campaigns last few weeks and he knows it. So of course he is going to lash out and do what he can to smear her. And also to hide the simple fact he cannot even give a basic idea of "how" he will implement his fantasy legislation.

[MarianJack]

33. Yep!

The more I watch Back Bench Bernie, the more he reminds me of past Republican/teabagger candidates...ALL of wehom lost (thank God)!

PEACE!

[Cha]

21. Well done, MarianJack.. my thoughts exactly..

"It seems that he hasn't seen a single Republican/teabagger smear that he doesn't love. His recent campaign style certainly seems to have been ripped from the Lee Atwater/KKKarl Rove playbook!"

You think Hillary's Team doesn't know that? I'm guessing rove gladly loaned it to them.. they do not want to run against Hillary.

Peace, Love, & Aloha to you~

[MarianJack]

32. Thanks, Cha!

Aloha to you, too from Winthrop, Maine!

PEACE!

[dubyadiprecession]

22. It will be great when BS goes away.

[book_worm]

31. Yes, a good week. hopefully things will continue this positive.
