Part of Town Hall with Chris Matthews (segment starts at about 47 minutes into tape).
You've see posts on this part, where Matthews sets it up for her to paint Bernie's consistency as a negative - a failure to learn from experience. The moral, of course, is that Hillary is possessed of better judgement in spite of the long history of disastrous positions she has taken on war, trade deals and social policy.
But it doesn't work. I'm sorry to tell you and Hillary that there is one glaring, bright as the sun problem with the entire string of reasoning and using it as a weapon against Bernie.
If he hasn't learned and you've made so much progress in developing your ideas, why have you adopted virtually every one of Bernie's calcified, old as the hills positions as your own?
Sorry Hillary, but you blew it again.

(29,798 posts)It's the intellectual equivalent of a ball of twine that has been unraveled and just gathered back together again by the handful. You can pull out any given string of logic and all seems straight - then you hit the spot where everything is tangled into a big intractable convoluted knot.
