Hillary Clinton's evisceration of Donald Trump

(CNN) — There's a new Hillary Clinton in town.

A speech that was billed as a major foreign policy address instead unfolded as a savage, mocking evisceration of Donald Trump Thursday as the former secretary of state adopted an aggressive new campaign persona designed to repel the unpredictable challenge posed by the presumptive Republican presidential nominee

So sorry, BS.. no time for you as you stand by and criticize Hillary when she's going after trump.

Nothing you've done so far to demonize Hillary has worked and you've already lost.. so keep it up.

You beat me to it, savalez.. I was going to post this when I got home..

Commentary: Bernie Sanders, enough with your 'political revolution'

snip//

But the truth is that Sanders does not deserve a movement, and his losing campaign does not deserve unusual deference and concessions. His tale about American oligarchy is simplistic, his policy proposals are shallow, his rejection of political reality is absurd, his self-righteousness and stubbornness are unbecoming. And, yes, he has lost. Here are some simple points worth repeating:

Sanders' path to the Democratic presidential nomination is essentially nonexistent. His only hope rests on convincing Democratic "superdelegates," nearly all of whom back Hillary Clinton, to swing his way. They will not do that. It is incoherent for Sanders to ask them to do so, given that he has attacked superdelegates as non-democratic actors in the nominating process and that Clinton will almost certainly end the cycle with more votes and more pledged delegates. It is also staggeringly arrogant that Sanders would think that superdelegates, the Democratic "establishment" sorts that he has spent the whole campaign cartoonishly attacking as tools of Wall Street, would be open to his entreaties.

snip//

A Clinton nomination would be wholly legitimate. Sanders zealot Seth Abramson writes, "While not rigged, there is no question that the Democratic Party's primary process — which uses superdelegates to create an appearance of pre-election electoral inevitability and closed primaries and onerous registration requirements to exclude many new, independent, and party-switching voters — has dramatically favored Mrs. Clinton." This is nonsense, considering that Sanders has benefited from weird, anti-democratic quirks of the nominating process. FiveThirtyEight ran the numbers and found that "Clinton has been hurt at least as much by caucuses as Sanders has been hurt by closed primaries."

snip//

So, enough with the reality-denial. Enough with the sanctimony. Enough with the attitude that only Sanders' agenda counts. Enough with the dream that his movement is broader and more powerful than it has proved to be at the ballot box. Enough with the paranoid conspiracy theorizing, the lazy attacks on the "establishment," the platitudes about the right to health care and the right to free college without realistic plans to realize them, the delegitimization of those who disagree, the scorning of practicality, the outrageous negativity about the state of the country and the simplistic narrative of evil 1 percenters who are to blame for everything that is wrong. Enough with the excuses for half-baked policy proposals (It is the direction, not the specifics, that matter!). Enough with the "political revolution."

sanders is caught in his own trap..

Bernie Sanders’s ‘factually incorrect’ delegate math

Thus Sanders is misleading his supporters when he suggests it is “factually incorrect” for the media to crown Clinton the presumptive nominee on June 7. In a narrow technical sense, the nominee is not chosen until the convention. But, barring some miracle, on June 7, Sanders will have lost the race for both pledged delegates and superdelegates. That leaves him with no hope to claim the nomination–unless he wants to overturn the will of the voters. But respecting the will of the voters was the original reason he complained about the superdelegate system in the first place.

Yay, more Pinocchios for BS.. this time on his Delegate Math.. 'bout time Pinocchio came calling!

That is interesting.. one we've been advocating for.. better do it right the first

time jurors.. you don't want your decision overturned on appeal because you were biased or didn't hide for an obvious infraction against TOS.
