And Hillary sends some tweet saying "cut it out" or something and her supporters always act like she solved the problem.

This is the Third Way method. Steal issues and positions from your opponent. Move into opposition territory and modify their rhetoric just enough to sound like a Democrat. This is how they passed Obamacare. Sometimes it works out OK, and we get some progress from it. As a bonus, we get to hear a bunch of angry Republicans explaining why they no longer support their former statements. Let's hope for the best. By "the best," I mean Bernie Sanders as our candidate. Failing that, we should hope Hillary Clinton remembers she called herself a progressive, and took progressive positions on some issues.

she always has been the "me too" candidate. Anyone who watched the debates in 2007 knows this. She did go off on her own when it came to taking money from lobbyists however.

I think some people fall for it.

The lowly informed, for example... perfect.... no working memory, certainly long term memory never fully develops.

I believe this is why some people in my generation fall for it. They stopped thinking for themselves. They are fooling themselves.

But, even Bush tried to say you "can't be fooled again"... in his lame, incomplete and inept way.
