Sanders: Former secretary of state employing "hastily adopted campaign rhetoric" to capitalize"

http://www.commondreams.org/news/2016/02/23/sanders-accuses-clinton-parroting-his-message-win-votes

"I have to say that I am delighted that Secretary Clinton, month after month after month, seems to be adopting more and more of the positions that we have advocated. That’s good," Sanders said during a Monday press conference at the International Association of Ironworkers, Local 7, in Boston, Massachusetts, where the two are currently locked in a tie ahead of the state's March 1 primary.

He added that Clinton is "beginning to use a lot of the language and phraseology that we have used."

"In fact," Sanders continued, "I think I saw a TV ad and thought it was me. But it turned out it was Secretary Clinton’s picture in the end."

and check out the thread responses. I wonder if this is what Bernie was referring to - although I don't think this video was a Hillary ad piece but only a clip from one of her speeches.

I almost fell over!

Is this her plan to win the under 40 crowd by copying Bernie's stump speech?

This is exactly one of the reasons I am not found of her. (How was that for being tactful? )

Until I saw her betray us all on the Senate Floor supporting the IWR giving the Bush Admin a blank check. I started watching VERY closely after that...and I have found it very hard to watch at times.

The real killer was Clinton at one of her "rallies" the other day talking about Student Debt and actually called it "YUUUUUUGE! YUUUUUGE" She has no shame. None!

It's deplorable what she does.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
