What I learned today about Hillary that I didn't know.

[upaloopa]

All the enthusiasm for Hillary is not honest and heartfelt

Hillary has faux supporters and slanted polls because they are more important than slick television ad campaigns

A lot of the "opinions" being thrown around in the social media about Hillary are actually secretly planted campaign messages and are illegal, since these messages lack any acknowledgement of funding.

The above are all paid for by Hillary's campaign dollars.

Rachel Maddow came down on the side of a Hillary win. Rachel is not an honest broker.

No matter how much evidence is provided Hillary supporters won't care.

President Hillary Clinton would compromise on civil rights if necessary

Third Way Founder: Clinton (which Clinton?)

The primary 'horse race' is nothing more than a shiny object


Sour grapes come in all kinds of packages.

1. They are Very Serious People.

With Very Serious Temper Tantrums.

[SunSeeker]

2. Reality has Hillary bias. nt

[mcar]

9. This

3. Pretty much

Those who post these kind of things are the same group that has attacked president Obama from day one, or join that group over the years. They claim to be supporters of Bernie Sanders, yet the way they attack Hillary kind makes one wonder if they really want to get him elected, or they just want to divide DU by posting such things.

4. Indeed

and when new trolls show up the "jury" system defends them.

What a load.

12. Well sir...

... if you are really so unhappy here, there's certainly nothing or anyone forcing you to stay and "suffer" like you apparently are.

[JRLeft]

5. You're acknowledging now the Third Way exists?

[upaloopa]

6. No I am acknowledging you exist.

I have avoided most of your OP's today so I could not put them on my list of sour grape OP's

I don't know what your game is. I don't think you are a Bernie supporter. You don't make OP's about his policies.

Mostly your OP's are silly and what we use to call flame bait.

[JRLeft]

7. It's called not falling for the scam.

[upaloopa]

8. There is no scam and you know it. What's your game anyway?

on edit:

you may be the scam. What you are doing is called reaction formation.

[JRLeft]

10. Your pretending like Wall Street has no influence on the party.

[upaloopa]

15. I didn't say shit about Wall Street. I want to know what your game is.

Your posts don't make any sense.

[betsuni]

20. My personal theory is that this is some sort of Pavlovian experiment.

By forcing us to associate mindless senseless attacks on Clinton with the constant repetition of "Wall Street" and "status quo," the goal is to condition us to drool every time we hear these words. I'm no scientist, but it must be something like this, there is just no other possible explanation.

[JaneyVee]

11. This is exactly why Bernie's poll numbers are so pitiful...

Because his supporters would rather try to tear down Hillary instead of lifting up their own candidate.

14. +++1,000 nt

[msongs]

13. SHOCKING news..bill and katy actually like hillary. must be the end of the world as they know it lol

[NurseJackie]

16. Having been a supporter for a losing candidate, I can understand how frustrated they must be.

Part of me wants to be sympathetic, but it's very difficult to do.

The taunting and ridicule and scorn that they heap onto Hillary supporters is just a shield to hide behind, to compensate for their fears and worries. I imagine that it will only get worse, but in time, they'll discover the same things that the Benghazi committee discovered. Trying to tear-down the other candidate to make yours look better is a poor strategy and destined to fail.

It only helps strong candidates like Hillary to become even stronger. So there's that, I guess. (Should we be thanking them for toughening her up before the general election?)

I'm not sure what will happen when Hillary wins the nomination. (More rage? Hand-wringing? Claims of election rigging?) But they'll either get over it, or move on, or continue on as they have been doing and try to work against her.

I guess in working against Hillary, they'll be looking for some small comfort in being able to say told-you-so. (But, in this, I think they'll find even more disappointment.)

18. There's only one candidate in this race with a losing record.

0-1.

[NurseJackie]

21. I assume you're talking about the one …

… who is leading in the national polls. I think Hillary's previous candidacy was great experience that is now serving her very well. And it shows, doesn't it? The numbers speak for themselves.

On the plus side, this could be a good learning opportunity for Bernie and his campaign staff. I'm sure he'll do much better if he runs for president again in 2024. At age 82 or 83, he won't be too old to serve, right?

[frylock]

23. I'm sure those numbers lend great comfort, much like they did in 2007.

[NurseJackie]

24. Yes indeedy! Even more so!

[Walk away]

17. It's only going to get worse as Hillary gets stronger....

but the good news is, it will get smaller. Until it's a very small and nasty thing.

[eridani]

19. Did you know that she was a cheerleader for the Iraq war? n/t

[NurseJackie]

22. I know, right? How can we forget?

But I think that cooler and more rational heads have prevailed and we're able to see things in context and put it all into perspective.
