Hillary Clinton’s attacks spur a massive Sanders fundraising surge

Weeks of attacks from the leading Democratic presidential candidate may have done little to blunt Bernie Sanders recent surge in both national and early state polls, however, according to a new report in the Washington Post, attacks from the Hillary Clinton campaign have helped Sanders raise more than four times as much campaign cash this week as he averaged in the last quarter of 2015.
Thanks, Team Clinton, Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said Wednesday afternoon, according to the Post, crediting the rival campaigns recent offensive on the issues of guns and health care for the spike in campaign donations.
In her first campaign appearance of the cycle earlier this week, Clintons daughter Chelsea charged that Sanders universal health care plan threatened to dismantle nearly every existing public health care program and strip millions and millions and millions of people of their health insurance.
The youngest Clintons attack came after weeks of back-and-forth between the campaigns on the issue of gun control. It is time to pick a side, Clinton implored in a newly released ad targeting Sanders for his past opposition to increased gun control. Either we stand with the gun lobby or we join the President and stand up to them. I am with him. Sanders has come under withering attack for his 2005 vote to give immunity to gun manufacturers a vote for which he has been teetering between indirectly apologizing for and defending in recent days.

(13,877 posts)That is, if you think that bringing up someone's actual record is attacking? Before long he'll be "hating" on her.
In addition, on CNN or some news he was offered the opportunity to mention how badly Chelsea, shall we say misrepresented and actually reversed his position. He passed, said not one word about the little heiress, and went to rebutting the false gun mantra...a D- with the NRA.
And on health care...she must think we are Dunces. She had it right in 1992 or whatever. But a lot of money has changed hands since then. Now she just tells stories she makes up as she goes along.
That's why I like Bernie. He's just same-old, same-old...like a mantra. It's a mantra I happen to like.
ETA: It was Bernie's attacks I think you meant, and ended up accusing me of attacking who? You or Hillary?

(13,877 posts)So don't make claims you can't back up. If you went and read my posts as you inferred, you had ample time to find where I "attacked" her.
Fail.

(5,668 posts)well you can make stuff up and they can make a fictional movie about Benghazi but it's all the same Fantasy and Fiction. Doesn't exist. As for Bernie's people supported Gun law. He's driven by the people. The people wanted that law. In theory Hillary clearly doesn't want Vermont because she's attacking Vermont voters outright. Which has one of the lowest rates of violence in the 50 states...
that one I do have a link if you must http://247wallst.com/special-report/2015/01/02/the-safest-states-in-america/4/ now how is it someone supports a gun law yet it's the Safest State to live in. Hmmm??? Every state is different. And I hate zero tolerance crap...

But I do have one of his nasty attacks right below...enjoy.
You claim attacks, then claim you "don't have time" to prove your claim.
How long does it take to scroll to an attack, then copy and paste its location?
It takes about the same amount of time it takes to post your ludicrous excuse for not posting a link.
Too funny.
Way to demonstrate that some Hillary supporters are no better than GOP trolls.

Dumbass move by Clinton sending her kid out to talk about Sander's position on health care. Now everyone is going to know what Sander's position on health care is, and that is not going to help Clinton.
Oh, and then there's the little matter that everyone is going to realize that Clinton Jr. is not being wholly honest in her characterization of Sanders' position!
Clinton needs to fire whoever suggested doing this. And if she's the one who thought it up, she needs to question her own competence.
