Bernie Sanders is really a republican sleeper agent

sent back from the future to destroy Obamacare.

Yes, that's how ridiculous Camp Clinton's claims on Sanders and Health care are.

It's clear Camp Clinton believes in the big lie theory.

No one but the most.... avid of her supporters would believe that Bernie wants to dismantle Medicare and Obamacare. No one believes he would let states opt out of single payer.

I couldn't believe it when I saw Chelsea spouting that garbage. And they like cowards put her up to that...

What made her think anybody cares what her over privileged daughter thinks about anything? I mean, really. Unbelievably out of touch with reality.

The Sanders proposal also "eliminates private insurance; eliminates Medicare; eliminates Medicaid, Tricare, [and] the Children's Health Insurance Program," Clinton said. "And it puts all together in a big program, which he then hands over to the state to administer. I have to tell you, if I lived in Iowa, I would not want Terry Branstad administering my health care."

Democrats should be coming together to support and strengthen PPACA, not trying to eliminate PPACA, Clinton said.

"I don't think we should have to be defending it against Democrats," Clinton said.


This article is from the middle of November. I also believe she repeated something similar very recently, but can't find a link.

It's a load of horse crap, but they're going to repeat it over and over anyway.

5. The sad part is that Chelsea is capable of better and she's smart enough to know she's lying.

Chelsea is a very bright woman with a memory that is shockingly good and this dive into Bullshit Springs has altered my opinion of her greatly.

While after the Iraq vote, others were sent to die. No more Clintons. This just SMACKS of ill character. It's all over the news, what Chelsea said was 'untrue'. That means it's a LIE.

party trying to abolish Medicare, they should triangulate and promise to cut Medicare in half: hence Clinton's attack on single payer last month, too; they really thought it would be a winner (or maybe they were attacking SS, I can't remember)
