Listening to the chatter following Hillary's speech in Michigan one could get the idea that Hillary Clinton has never thought or said or done anything that couldn't first be attributed to someone else. It's nothing short of amazing that she's still allowed to be credited with giving birth to Chelsea, for now anyway.

(757 posts)this sort of seems like a unsurprising response to the attempt to palliate the frustrations of Sanders supporters with the narrative that his pushing Clinton to the left was a victory of sorts.

Look. You can support the Clinton practice of regularly sampling opinions and shifting their positions to attract voters. Or not. It's what she does.
Frankly, the more she adopts Sanders' positions, the better, as far as I'm concerned. I've heard her repeat his phrasing in some of her speeches. Not because she "stole" anything, but because she recognized what was resonating with voters. The real question is this: Will she walk that talk?

Pretty stupid complaint.
