No joke, Hillary just used the slogan, "Enough is enough!" when talking financial reform in Iowa

[HerbChestnut]

It's not enough to steal Bernie's positions leading up to debates, but now she has to steal his campaign rhetoric also? Oh well, I got a chuckle out of seeing her yell at a small crowd bowling alley trying to drum up excitement.

[NCTraveler]

1. Yeah, Sanders owns that one.

This is where we are at. lol.

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=enough+is+enough

Seems if you search it with politics in front you see a lot of Obama.

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=politics+enough+is+enough

Neener Neener. He stole it from Obama.

Just kidding obviously. I simply think it's funny.

[HerbChestnut]

3. Even though I don't think that's what Bernie did, it's one thing to take from an old campaign

It's another to take from your opponent's campaign and use it as your own in the same race.

[NCTraveler]

5. Love it.

Clinton stole if from Sanders, but Sanders didn't steal it from Obama because of how long Obama has been saying it.

This is great.

The only theft in this cycle is the theft of campaign data of Clintons by the Sanders campaign.

I do see why Sanders and Clinton want to pull out rhetoric from Obamas masterful '08 campaign. It was simply brilliant.

[HerbChestnut]

6. LOL n/t

[Sheepshank]

26. there is no rule, it's common verbage.

now your moving the goal posts to claim that Bernie said it before Clinton, even though millions have used it before Bernie, is kinda reaching.

[karynnj]

8. My guess is that Bernie was saying "enough is enough" before Obama was born

The difference with HRC is that she says it after Bernie has said it thousands of times.

[NCTraveler]

9. Let me ask. Will your opinion change if I show you where Clinton said it over fifteen years ago?

This is just getting too funny.

"The difference with HRC is that she says it after Bernie has said it thousands of times."

This is deep. lol.

[karynnj]

10. If she said it in the context of the financial system or anything related, I would agree and admit

that I did not know that. The reason people commented here is that she used it relating to the exact same thing that Bernie has been using it about in his stump speech.

ie Had she said it about Flint, speaking about how the state government stole their right to self government then made decisions that contrary to the interests of the people, it would not be cited as "Bernie's". (In fact - I think THAT use works really well. Maybe - the enough is enough should be used for lots of outrageous conditions.)

[NCTraveler]

11. I really don't mean to.

I just can't stop laughing at "Bernie said it first."

We are talking about an amazingly popular phrase in the English language.

I really don't blame Sanders for pulling it from Obama in '08. He ran a brilliant campaign.

See how amazingly petty that is. And funny.


You don't know if Clinton said it with respect to wall street fifteen years ago, yet you will say "Sanders said it first."

[Cali_Democrat]

31. LOL!

[Motown_Johnny]

32. Please watch this video:

[Kip Humphrey]

2. Hillary feels the Bern?

[Skwmom]

4. Between her and O'Malley, it's been unbelievable. n/t

[karynnj]

7. Did she get the phrasing right for this quintessentially NYC Jewish wording?

Yeah, I know that she has her headquarters in Brooklyn, but she will never be really from Brooklyn -- any more than a flatlander like me can become a real Vermonter - no matter how much I value and love Vermont.

[Mike__M]

12. Bernie? I'm with him <---

[Ferd Berfel]

13. Has She ever had an Original Thought?

[Go Vols]

15. lol

not surprised

[mmonk]

16. I would be salivating if I were in charge of Bernie's

campaign ads.

[NorthCarolina]

17. I thought her tag line for Wall St. was "Cut It Out"?

[Nitram]

18. Right. "Enough is enough" is a trademark Bernie phrase rarely used in normal discourse.

Call a whaaaambulance, that mean old Hillary stole Bernie's slogan!

[Fumesucker]

19. Emulation is the most sincere form of flattery

[Nitram]

21. Using the exceedingly conmmon phrase "enough is enough" is hardly emulation.

Was Bernie emulating the last Republican who used the phrase? You guys really try, I'll give you that.

[Fumesucker]

24. It is when you use it in the same situation and on the same subject

Hillary even emulated Bernie's gestures...

[Nitram]

27. I'll give you creditt for a very good imagination.

or else a great sense of humor.

[Fawke Em]

20. Sigh.

[draa]

29. Did you see that YUGE crowd at the bowling alley?

Yeah, me neither.

[Fawke Em]

39. There were more shoes than people.

[CharlotteVale]

22. Hillarious! Luckily, Bernie will never say "Cut it out!" to Wall Str.

[beam me up scottie]

23. "Does that mean she's taken enough of their money and now they have to cut it out?

[Nitram]

25. I just googled the phrase "enough is enough."

9,510,000 results. Bernie no where in sight.

[Fawke Em]

40. You do know how Google works, right?

If you've just been searching for Hill's Bills, you're not gonna get much Bernie because Google knows you aren't looking for that.

However, if you ARE a Bernite, you'll get them.

Learn algorithms, Nitram!

[Nitram]

42. Clinton wasn't on in sight either, btw.

Love your weak snark about algorithms and knowing how Google works. My point was that the phrase is way too popular for anyone but a hard core follower of St. Bernie to think of Bernie at all in connection to the phrase. amazing how self-centered and obsessed you guys are!

[Ino]

28. Even her logo was stolen...

This is NOT a coincidence!

[draa]

30. Haha, good catch.

Lack of imagination is clearly evident in that camp.

[elias49]

35. And that damned arrow is pointing right. Pretty much on direction

for a center-right pol.

[BainsBane]

33. Wow. All these years I've been using that phrase

a common one in the English language, and it turns out I've been stealing from Bernie.


Clinton has had a financial reform policy on her website for months. I would have thought concern about "issues" would have prompted you to read it months ago.

[pinebox]

43. Financial reform you say?

Like how to reform so she can get more cash from Wall Street?

[BainsBane]

44. Nice to see how concerned about issues you are

that you recycle an old, discredited meme. It's not the current campaign, and the info isn't even internally consistent. In fact, it's deliberately misleading.
I get the policy is irrelevant compared to getting your guy in office. Thanks for confirming that point.

I'm really looking forward to when Clinton gets the nomination. Then we'll witness first hand how much people care about financial reform if they work to defeat the Democratic candidate.

[pinebox]

46. Really?

Discredited? Like this?

https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cid=N00000019&cycle=Career

From 1999-2016? That's a campaign issue and it says she's in Wall Street's pockets for a VERY long time.
You don't think it's important? I do. What is she going to do, tell them to "knock it off"?
Companies donate to whom best represent them, right? Right.
/reality.

[INdemo]

34. Was Hillary there for Senior Citizens Bowling League? Or was it

a town hall meeting? I was judging by the number of attendees it was probably a mid-day bowling league.Right?

[INdemo]

36. Hillary Clinton's campaign is struggling for a strategy and they are nervous

What else can one say.Their internal polling is probably showing unfavorable results and they are desperate.

[Z_California]

37. Make's me chuckle too

This rhetoric may work with low information voters, but to informed voters it just makes her look fake. I wonder if she used "enough is enough" in the same context in her 45 minute quarter million dollar speeches to Goldman Sachs?

[mother earth]

38. She wants to be BERNIE!

[Bernblu]

41. After Bernie wins Iowa

she will come out as America's first woman socialist to run for president.

[Nedsdag]

45. Well, isn't she 1,000 points ahead in the polls and leading in every county in Iowa?

She can afford to steal Bernie's lines, right?

[Autumn]

47. Good. That means Bernie's "Enough is enough!" will now be unclassified as

Socialist commie talk by the "sensible" people.
