Chelsea Clinton Goes On The Attack; Democrats Ask Why

[Purveyor]

Chelsea Clinton is stepping onto the 2016 battlefield against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a shift that some Democrats are interpreting as a sign of trouble for her mother’s presidential campaign.

Making her first solo appearance on the stump, Chelsea Clinton late Tuesday ripped Sanders over his proposals on healthcare and college affordability, arguing the White House hopeful wants to “dismantle” ObamaCare and Medicare.

Democrats have almost universally panned the attack, believing it to be ineffective and a misuse of her talents.

They note that Chelsea Clinton has mostly been used to highlight Hillary Clinton’s softer side as a mother and grandmother and say she seemed uncomfortable shedding her first daughter persona for the role of attack dog.

“The thing that tells you as much as anything about [the Clinton campaign’s] current state of mind is Chelsea going on the attack. It tells you everything you need to know,” said one Democratic strategist. “That this [challenge from Sanders] is real and they’ve got to be freaking out.”

1. "Democrats have almost universally panned the attack". Well, most of them.

2. "...a misuse of her talents."

What might those talents, which were so badly "misused", be?

I know she was given a fluff do-nothing job by one of the TV networks, probably in hopes that they could glom onto a few bucks from the Clinton foundation. Apparently, interviewing people dressed up as vegetables at theme parks proved to be beyond her, and she turned out to be every bit as personality challenged as her mommy, and as vapid as the bush twins, so she left by mutual consent.

3. I'll second that. She spoke about her new book for tweens at my granddaughter's junior high.

The book is about how kids ingenuity can help make a better world. Sounds like a perfect match in a district that is big on kindness and giving back, right? My 11 year old granddaughter, Maya, was very excited about this event. She came home very disappointed because Chelsea was so dull and didn't interact with the kids.

4. I hear she makes a dyno vichyssoise. Nt.

5. As an "attack dog",

she's in the Yorkshire Terrier class.

6. Maybe they put her out there hoping the Sanders campaign would respond in a way they could

spin as an "excuse" for all the negative ads we're about to see.

7. Hillary tied. Chelsea lied. Campaign died.

Making calls as a Woman For Bernie into Iowa today was fun.

Great reception by voters on the other end who were young, old, and in between.
