Sheesh. Hillary adopts yet another of Bernie's lines.

Just saw a clip on the local "news" where she used the line "love trumps hatred" - something Bernie has been saying since at least his Feb. 28 OKC rally, when it was the part of his speech that drew the most enthusiastic crowd reaction (and, btw, drew a fair amount of attention online - this was definitely not an obscure part of his speech that passed unnoticed).



The SNL Hillary "campaign ad" where HRC morphs into Bernie is soooo freaking spot-on.

So Clinton stole this from Sanders??
I just did a quick Google search and found a December 11, 2015 article talking about Hillary's "love trumps hate" bumper stickers.

So, will you retract your post?

Or at least delete your puke emoji since your post is DEAD WRONG?

Didn't think so.

Hillary made bumper stickers with that phrase last year.

I know Bernie's people love optimism more than reality, but if anything he stole it from her.

Mon Mar 14, 2016, 05:21 PM

Her close friend brought it up:

"Commercial interests are very powerful interests," said George W Bush on Feb. 14, 2007 White House press conference in which he added, "Let me put it this way, ah, sometimes, ah, money trumps peace." And then he giggled and not a single member of the callow, cowed and corrupt press corpse saw fit to ask a follow-up.



Gold Star mom Cindy Sheehan tried to bring it to our nation's attention back in 2007. I don't recall even one reporter from the national corporate owned news seeing it fit to comment. Certainly not many have commented on how three generations of Bush men -- Senator Prescott Sheldon Bush, President George Herbert Walker Bush and pretzeldent George Walker Bush all had their eyes on Iraq's oil.

But she will definitely steal his platform if he gets the nomination and he shifts towards a moderate right stance (which he will need to if he would want to win).

Sad that it will not work for her, because most of us know she'll pivot to the right once she gets the nomination so fast it will make our heads spin.

29. Hillary Clinton to Legally Change Name to "Bernie Sanders"

Mar 2016

This is satire from October 10th, 2015...

Hillary Clinton to Legally Change Name to "Bernie Sanders"

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Earlier today, Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced she was going to legally change her name to "Bernie Sanders." Clinton's decision to change her name followed weeks of her claiming to have exactly the same progressive positions as rival Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who continued to gain on Clinton in various polls of likely Democratic primary voters.

+

Clinton continued, "So there is really no reason Democratic primary voters should not vote for me, because I am a genuine progressive and my name is Bernie Sanders. That is, unless you really like me being Hillary Clinton, because I will totally still be her, too."
