Hillary's RFK assassination comments = Fear mongering that would make FOX proud
Terry McAuliffe's high praise for Fox News was evidently heart-felt, based on Hillary's new strategy of subliminal
fear mongering.

The only "plus" that could accrue to her as a result of the obscene comments she made is the possibility of planting the seed
in people's minds that it would be *safer* to have her as a candidate, with all the implied overtones and undertones associated
with that thought.

That's one "metric" that hasn't been measured and dissected on every network.

Yet.

1. Just goes to prove they will do and say ANYTHING to get elected.
The 'apology' yesterday, with not one word of mention of Obama was just another Clinton tactic, trying to focus the controversy on the Kennedys which is 180 degrees from the truth.

3. I have never heard an "apology" from either Hillary or Bill that had one iota of sincerity in it.
As for her apology yesterday, it was more like another insult.

The fact that she did not so much as mention Obama, after raising the horrific specter of assassination,
is a sign of how bitter (yes, BITTER) she is towards him for taking away what she felt was rightfully hers.

2. That's it. I think you got it.
She is saying to the supers, I am more durable, more electable.

We have to remember that every argument she has been making for the past month is not to the voters, she already lost that measure, but to the supers.

She doesn't want something bad to happen, I believe. She just wants to scare the supers, or at least shake them enough to hold back for a while, until she thinks of her next step.

Fear-mongering, shit-stirring from the losing candidate. SHe can't get media attention any other way. It will be over soon.

4. teksui, I think it was over yesterday.
She has become an embarrassment at this point, and one that is not worth defending any longer
