Watching Madam Butterfly's ballet is very interesting as she repositions herself on the issues...co-opting Senator Sanders chief issues that he has not wavered on in more than 25 years...very very interesting...I find it fascinating that she actually thinks that us poor dumb slobs out here are not paying attention to this

Not exaggerating.
Really remarkable.

(6,280 posts)...over there to repeat here, so they had to start being creative on their own. I think this because I've noticed a marked improvement in the spelling, and use of the English language.

(80 posts)I know that CNN will have a bias, I don't think it's realistic to expect the kind of fairness that a truly impartial advocate for democracy like the League of Women Voters would have but I know I'll enjoy whatever comes of it.

(14,733 posts)She wants to try and nullify him by turning into him, then pretend she's more liberal because 'guns'.
The media will go along, as a recent OP pointed out, by writing things to make it sound like she 'evolved' to her new postions BEFORE her opponents, even though she's actually lagged far behind most of them. And will, no doubt, pivot right back to the right as soon as the general comes around if she's the nominee, with Democrats going into the usual 'who else you going to vote for' cynical demand for lefty votes, and blame lefties rather than a poor choice of nominee if she then loses the general. That storyline's been used so many times that it's cliche.

(3,431 posts)Most people don't pay much attention to the
election, and even less so to primaries/caucuses.
They don't realize that there is a switch horse
running; they accept most campaign talk as
either the candidate's ideas or they disregard
it totally due to cynicism.

DianeK
(975 posts)even she will tell you how much she has 'evolved'
Because never changing or adapting is a really good thing. Like being the decider.

(975 posts)but when it comes so close to a national debate that might determine who might be the democratic nominee..it becomes..shall we say..suspect at best

(42,307 posts)I object to the snark and name calling. That is, of course, my opinion.

(11,197 posts)Bernie's policies. She knows that being a Johnny come lately to Sanders positions isn't going to give her the upper hand, certainly not in the believe-ability department anyway, so i suspect she will fall back on that tried-and-true tactic of ridiculing of his ideas as little more than pie-in-the-sky dreaming. You know, the "Unicorns that Fart Glitter" meme.
I noticed Tweety was already parroting that meme tonight. He'll be positively giddy as a school girl when Hillary rolls it out on the debate stage tomorrow night for sure.
