Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumSander Camp: Hillary is going to destroy the democratic party?
I couldn't believe what I just heard on CNN. Jeff Weaver, BS campaign manager said and I paraphrase... Hillary might want to be careful she doesn't destroy the democratic party because of her driven ambition to become president!! What the hell ???? Isn't it Hillary Clinton who has been out there raising money for down ballot democratic candidates, in this election cycle on the past while pious BS sits of his high horse, preaching to us meanwhile he has raised record amounts of money and does nothing to help the democratic party candidates?? Not to mention recognize the need create the democratic majorities necessary to pass any democratic agenda in Congress? Where was BS when Hillary was out in the trenches helping to get democrats elected for the last 40 years? Oh by the way, one of those dems Hillary helped to get elected is none other than Chuck Schumer, the future leader of the senate if democrats win back the senate. When Hillary heard this comments she laughed with incredulity. I am really getting sick of BS and his minions and their sense that Bernie is entitled to use the democratic party as his footstool. This after he has been using the democratic party for his own ambitions for just a hot minute! It seems to me, it is BS who is trying to destroy the democratic party!! DESPICABLE!!

(2,074 posts)If anyone is at risk of destroying the Democratic Party (or at least our chances in the GE), it's the guy who is attacking the frontrunner and likely nominee, and suing the Democratic Party while not lifting a finger to help downticket races.
How Rovian.

(27,830 posts)and ask about this. Anyone who's a paid-up Democrat should 1) call the Sanders office and ask if he is (is there a way to check this?) and 2) mention the downticket races in their state to see if he's been there?

(718 posts)Like campaigning for president isn't, you know, inherently ambitious...

(765 posts)And this wasn't an off-the-cuff remark. That was a nod to Bernie's misogynistic supporters (not all of his supporters, but that particular segment), because they're the ones who wouldn't balk at the suggestion that ambition in a woman is not only inappropriate or misplaced, it's destructive. It was designed to rile them up and open their wallets so he and Devine can keep lining their pockets.

(2,577 posts)The math is against BS, so it's time to grasp at straws and throw tantrums. One of the many progressives I know supporting Hillary said in a public setting that BS has been a weak legislator and has not accomplished much. So let's think about that. Oh, wait, we have THOUGHT about it, which is why we are posting in the Clinton group.

(1,630 posts)Democrats aren't buying that nonsense.
Maybe it plays well with the Bernsters? Sander's campaign loves to foment all sorts of 'grudgemental' feelings in his followers. Seriously? This whole come here/go away dysfunctional game playing from Bernie is not working for the Democrats. Probably best to break up! The Dems just aren't that into you, Bernie.
He can go back to the Senate and we'll go on to the White House.

(685 posts)Whatever your side is doing, outright accuse the other side of that very deed. It muddies the airwaves and sets up the counterpoint. If people and pundits begin to point out your side's nefarious behavior you deflect with "well, both sides blah blah blah...."
Team Bernie and his smearleaders have learned from the best - It's Rovian 101
