Is Hillary Clinton Part of the 'Establishment'? Hillary: 'I Don't Understand What That Means'

So.......you don't?
Maybe it's lack of fighting for a living wage, maybe it's not fighting for free college, maybe it's not wanting universal health care, maybe it's the KXL, TPP or maybe the thousands of skeletons in your closet like opposing NY state's gay marriage or defending NAFTA and the sanctity of marriage? I don't know, maybe it's Iraq and something ending with "Stan", pick one of 10. Maybe it's you disparaging remarks about migrant children or was it your vote for a border fence? Maybe it was something to do with Honduras and military coups? Maybe it was something to do with missing both Brownbeck amendment votes? Hmmm I don't know, wait! I DO! It was how you supported off shore drilling! THAT! Yup! Well then again, pick one of a thousand.

Gee, you don't know what the establishment is?
Stick a fork in her. Her campaign is done.

".....True, but placing Sanders in the same moldy boat as the GOP is a little much. And we received a further indication that this controversy has reached its logical breaking point when Clinton told CNN’s head beard Wolf Blitzer that she “didn’t understand” why Sanders would claim that she’s part of said establishment either.

“Are you the establishment?” Blitzer asked the former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State on Thursday.

“I just don’t understand what that means,” Clinton responded. “He’s been in Congress, he’s been elected to office a lot longer than I have. I was in the Senate for eight wonderful years representing New York. He’s been in the Congress for 25. So I’ll let your viewers make their own judgment.”

For God’s sake.

....Hillary doesn't get it and it may be her downfall. You can't govern effectively if you can't relate to the people you are governing.
