Hillary set to endorse Bernie Sanders this weekend

[Armstead]

In the latest in a string of changes in position designed to steal Bernie Sanders issues and temporarily define herself as a candidate of The Left, aides say Hillary Clinton is about to make her boldest move yet.

"She is planning to announce in the eve of the debate that she endorses Bernie Sanders candidacy and drop out of the race," said the unnamed aide. "We believe this will redefine her image as a progressive populist, and increase her appeal to the party base."

When asked by reporters how dropping put of the race will enhance her nomination prospects, the aide replied "Well, er,er,er.....We haven't figured that one out yet."

1. I think you confirm my theory

You see Hillary as a roadblock.
Well she isn't about to throw in the towel.

[Armstead]

5. I guess you're not big on irony

Of course as someone who supports her opponent I see her as an obstacle (though not a roadblock).

I also don't expect her to throw in the towel, ever.

[earthside]

27. The most humorless bunch ever.

The right pointing arrow folks.

[Warren Stupidity]

6. Not even a repressed chuckle?

[reformist2]

8. She should stay in as Bernie's sparring partner.

[HooptieWagon]

13. Wooooosh!

[hifiguy]

41. "Stand up, I say, stand up son!

It went over your head, boy. Noggin, that is."

[cui bono]

22. I see Hillary as inspiration.

She inspires people to get someone else in there who doesn't represent the status quo.

Sadly you are right about not throwing in the towel. She would rather resort to nasty campaigning like she did against Obama. It'll be interesting to see how bad it gets once she's behind nationally.

But really, the OP was a joke.

[hifiguy]

42. Well played.

Well played, indeed.

4. i knew this was going to be a joke just from its title.

[cherokeeprogressive]

7. Really

12. and now for my next trick...

hey rock, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.

[AlbertCat]

32. hey Rock(y), watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.

GRRRRRR....


No doubt about it, I gotta get another hat.


And now for something I hope you'll really like!



(I used to skip church, sneak over to my Grandmother's (she was at church!), eat round mint Eskimo Pies out of her freezer and watch "Bullwinkle" instead. Brilliant actually.)

[bvar22]

44. ...and probably better for you than church.

Certainly more spiritually enlightening.

Rocky & Bullwinkle gave me what may be my first epiphany that things are not always what they seem.

[AlbertCat]

47. Rocky & Bullwinkle gave me what may be my first epiphany

At some point (not right away) I saw the political satire all over the place.

The puns, asides, "serious" delivery, directly talking to you the audience, the tongue and cheek snark....all so much fun.

[cherokeeprogressive]

38. I actually heard that in Bullwinkle's voice.

Thanks. Now I'll be hearing it all day.

17. whatever it is,

i'm loving it

[Paulie]

18. Thanks!

It's a bit of a pain to do on a phone.

[jkbRN]

23. I thank you for your patience,

Gave me and my boyfriend some good laughs

[Duckfan]

20. Beautiful

[Control-Z]

28. Going backwards, I see. (nt)

11. Good one Armstead, a little "tongue-in-cheek" humor

to lighten the mood around here.

[Ino]

14. She has endorsed him by adopting all his positions.

Why would anyone vote for the phony when they can have the real thing?

Man, I can't wait for this debate!

[hifiguy]

43. +1

She has adopted Bernie's platform with all the piously phony sincerity of Oral Roberts talking about the 900-foot tall Jebus he saw.

[Duckfan]

19. Its that other dude from the New Yorker

Andy Borowitz? That's his MO.

[GoneFishin]

21. I'm guessing she will drop out, then re-enter the race 6 times.

[Demeter]

24. Is this "article" original with you, Armstead?

Very clever and appreciated.

[840high]

26. Yep - my big chuckle for the day.

[Armstead]

31. Guilty

[Jack Rabbit]

25. Channeling Borowitz, are we?

Very good.

[reformist2]

29. If only! Apart from being a phony, she's a dreadful campaigner, and everyone knows it.

[Lunabell]

30. Hey, lol on this one

Sounds about right. Maybe if she keeps moving to the left she'll get the nomination.

[Flying Squirrel]

33. "I have said repeatedly...

...that it is time for a real liberal in the White House," she said. "No one has a bigger interest in seeing Bernie elected than me."

[Armstead]

34. "I wanted Bernie to run in 2008. I only ran because he didn't."

[emulatorloo]

35. Lol, that's Onion-worthy! Well done!

[Armstead]

39. Cheers

[JimDandy]

36. ...

[WillyT]

40. Hilarious...

[zappaman]

45. "Endorsements don't matter" say BS supporters.

So why would this one matter?

[Armstead]

46. Oh I think they would make an exceeption in this case
