Feel the Mania? That’s Hillary’s Opponents Flipping Out As She Gets Closer to the Oval Office

Elections have phases. We’re moving into the phase when Hillary’s opponents are finally realizing they can’t stop her. The result is a sense of desperation. It will only get worse.

Death threats against children, irrationally defiant speeches, attacks on marriages, ugly accusations against spouses — this is the moment in the 2016 election cycle when Hillary’s detractors, in politics and media, freak out that they haven’t been able to stop her.

Deep down, they always thought their collective savaging of her character would ruin her. They didn’t envision a scenario where Hillary not only withstood their vicious assaults, but thrived in the face of them.

The piece of the puzzle they missed? You.

Hillary’s voters.

nominee they have failed. There has been a run of RW talking points over and over, some begging for an indictment or anything to keep her out of the GE. She has the votes and the delegates within a few days, its over, you lost.

MSNBS and Conservative News Network (CNN). They've hurled everything and the kitchen sink at her, propagandized Sanders and Trump via "breaking news" banners 27/7, kissed the rings of every Republican they can drag onto their shows, reported with the usual "some experts say" when reporting on trumped-up bull straight from KKKarl Rove's desk, showed the worst poll numbers for her...and Hillary Clinton is still winning.

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
Good thing Hillary's supporters and voters don't allow this organized propaganda to dissuade them from supporting and voting for her.
