Hillary Doesn't Need to "Copy" bernie's Message

Bernie Sanders Accuses Hillary Clinton of Copying His Message


Is there anybody who seriously thinks Hillary Clinton has ever entertained the impulse to copy anything?  Off of anybody?  From whom would she copy?  When you know your material, the concept of copying from the ill-prepared is not only unthinkable and counter-productive; it is a joke!

Meanwhile, we continue to search for a cohesive foreign policy from the Sanders camp.

The message was reinforced when David Chalian also used the verb "to steal "earlier today when discussing Hillary’s decisive victory in Nevada.

Indeed!  Hillary has neither stolen nor hijacked anything.  She has won, fair and square, the caucuses in Iowa and Nevada along with a boatload of endorsements and Super Delegate votes.

I firmly believe the Sanders entered the race precisely to move Hillary's stances on the issues to the left. If she complies, that in my opinion is a recipe for disaster in the GE.

in today's political atmosphere, the people who decide the Presidential elections in 8 swing states are moderates. They shy away from anyone who swings too far to the left or too far to the right like Romney or McCain. That's why if either Trump or Cruz win the nomination the Republicans are in trouble.

We don't need Hillary susceptible to being labeled as a far left candidate in the General Election.

Incomes over $250,O00, now Sanders has changed from all incomes to $250,000, seems like Sanders has copied Hillary's agenda. Last night I heard her say about other than earned incomes. No, she has a good agenda, has had her agenda for years. What we get with Hillary is she is not a one issue candidate.

Have not heard the Koch brothers saying they like Hillary either.

He tries to take credit everywhere--"I was first..." even when he wasn't or when it doesn't even matter. He is trying to give himself more credibility. Now Hillary is copying him--as if he is the better debater or his stump speech would work for her. Don't hurt yourself there, Mr. Sanders, twisting your flailing arms around to pat your back.
