Hillary has been attacked for almost 25 years, and she is STILL STANDING TALL!!

[RBInMaine]

Hillary Clinton has been trashed by right wing SMEARS for decades, and SHE IS STILL STANDING! That is one tough grandmother!

So many of these attacks have been CRAP. And she is STILL STANDING TALL! I admire this woman who has been through so much and put up with so much, and so much of it ridiculous and unfair. Right now they are spending millions trying to damage her in these primaries because they are SCARED of her. She is ready on day one. She is the most prepared on both sides. She is supremely qualified. She is tough and PROGRESSIVE. If and when we go into the general election season with Hillary as standard bearer, she and her team will RELENTLESSLY ATTACK the RePUKE nominee, and no one needs to worry about new surprises being found out about Hillary. She has been through it all, has been mega vetted, and she will have on steel armor as she POUNDS THE CRAP out of who is probably going to be The Trump. I can't wait.

[NurseJackie]

1. I'm looking forward to it as well!

Go, Hillary! Beat Trump!

[onehandle]

2. Not to mention attacks on her right here.

That's about to change, though.

The sunset approacheth for the 'Not Hillary' Party.

[orpupilofnature57]

3. She's NOW a Friend to MSM, MIC,TPP and that's what Scares Democrats who have to live with it .

[RBInMaine]

19. She is against the TPP, and Bernie is constantly on MSM. Get some facts.

[Duckhunter935]

26. she is this week, lol

[pnwmom]

51. The final draft didn't come together in the way she'd hoped and expected.

People who can't reevaluate their positions when new data comes in, or fails to come in, have no business being President.

[Duckhunter935]

75. she does on every issue

I do not buy it as I know she will change back to the right.

[orpupilofnature57]

95. History shows it, for the last 10 yrs .

[orpupilofnature57]

98. " Reevaluate " is her new word, flip flopping only after it's been exposed, never by her doing,

keeping us in the dark is her forte, and that's why she can get things done, Ambiguous with no allegiance to tie her down .

[pnwmom]

100. Is Bernie "flipflopping" on his new gun position or re-evaluating?

[orpupilofnature57]

102. He's clarifying, without insulting our intelligence, like Wmd's in Iraq, bailout in 2008, and not

calling Edward Snowden a traitor, all things she's " Reevaluated " only after the truth was exposed, NEVER ONCE by Her .

[pnwmom]

106. No, he's reversed himself. That's not a clarification. nt

[Duckhunter935]

124. now he is not

He voted for a bill that he did not agree with all of the parts. He is now on board with fixing those parts he never agreed with.

[libdem4life]

114. NRA = D-

[pnwmom]

115. But he has been a C. His flip-flopping brought him to a D minus, apparently. n/t

[Duckhunter935]

125. show us some proof

[Duckhunter935]

123. if you actually read his statements

He has the same position he has always had. For those that are low information and only listen to sound bites, they may see it differently.

[Sunlei]

109. President hasn't signed yet, TPP sits in public view for another 30-60 days.

even if he doesn't sign most all the other TPP countries probably will sign, so they can trade with Asian-pacific countries and not have to use China workers.

[pnwmom]

46. She is not supporting the TPP. Why are you spreading a falsehood? n/t

[leftupnorth]

64. Lol. And who believes her?

There is a bridge for sale near here if anyone is interested.

[pnwmom]

67. No one should believe you because you're repeating a falsehood. n/t

[leftupnorth]

69. Yes, because Democrats have never betrayed me.

It's like the 90s and 00s never happened. Lmao.

[rbrnmw]

121. The 90's LMAO

The best economic growth ever. I'll take it

[leftupnorth]

131. Like I said.

It's like the 90s AND 00s didn't happen...

[orpupilofnature57]

111. It's not a "Falsehood" it's another area where she can't be trusted to stand up for the truth .

[pnwmom]

112. It is false to say that she supports the TPP. When it was in DRAFT stage,

she was hopeful. When the final version came out, she made the decision she couldn't support it.

Anyone who says she supports it now is ignorant or lying.

[orpupilofnature57]

117. The same goes for saying she supported Shrub in every major War, WMD's, the Bailout, Edward Snowden

being a traitor ? She has scratched her way to the top and not from being the voice of reason, which she always claims victory, but NEVER responsibility, anyone who can't see that is ignorant, lying or the blind faithful .

[pnwmom]

118. Sorry, I can't read gibberish. n/t

[orpupilofnature57]

120. Sorry, She's been an opportunist ever since she MOVED to NY to run for the Senate, Never taking

responsibility for her actions and claiming credit for the actions of others .

[Sunlei]

107. Shes not a 'friend' to fox and I'd like to know what you're personally 'scared' of?

[cali]

4. It's a testament to how inured we are to corruption.

[RBInMaine]

22. Hyperbole. Try again.

[cali]

25. Not even a little bit.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511100876


You cannot refute facts.

[beam me up scottie]

37. You're calling others hyperbolic? Have you read your ops?

[zeemike]

71. I was going to say something similar.

It is a comment on us not her. We accept corruption now as normal.

[cali]

105. Yes. Our complicity is damning

[berni_mccoy]

5. I wouldn't say she's standing tall

She's done so much evil to get where she is. You can't stand tall when you have baggage like she has.

[RBInMaine]

17. "Evil"? Thanks for the wild eyed hyperbolic nonsense. The Trump campaign is calling you.

[berni_mccoy]

52. Here's a list

- Sitting on the board of Wal-Mart

- Promoting Welfare Reform during Bill's Presidency

- Racial campaign tactics alone in 2008 are enough evil: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251758204

- Accepting Speaking Fees from THE Financial Institutions that responsible for The Collapse

- Having Podesta be her campaign manager


- Having DAVID FUCKING BROCK run her SuperPAC!

That evil enough for ya?

[Stuckinthebush]

48. Jesus H. Christ

This place is ridiculous.

[uponit7771]

54. Bookmarked!!! lol... "...she's done some much evil.." Hillary is teH Satan!!!!! sigh

[beam me up scottie]

6. That's why I should support her? Nothing about issues?

[RBInMaine]

10. I have put out other posts on issues. But this is an issue too. She is TESTED.

[beam me up scottie]

12. All I've seen from you are two dozen ops about why Bernie can't win because...SOCIALIST!!!

It appears you don't think your candidate can run on the issues.

[Duckhunter935]

29. so true

[beam me up scottie]

30. Posted another this morning, seems to have a thing for red baiting.

Looking for low information voters in DU, good luck with that.

[cali]

28. And she has failed. Failed repeatedly.

[sulphurdunn]

40. When you belong to a personality cult,

all that matters is image.

[beam me up scottie]

42. IT'S HER TURN DAMMIT!

That's all we've been hearing since Bernie got in the Way of the coronation.

[sulphurdunn]

53. A sense of dynastic political entitlement

is something everyone should be concerned about in a democratic oligarchy where the people are privileged to elect their figureheads, who then govern for the rich by ruling over everyone else. Sanders is the only candidate not on his knees before the oligarchs. Trump is one.

[beam me up scottie]

55. Precisely.

He's incorruptible.

[sulphurdunn]

60. People as old as Sanders and Clinton

are set in there ways for a reason. It's way too late to corrupt old people who have integrity. It's also pretty late in the game to redeem corrupt ones.

[RBInMaine]

11. Your hate is disgusting. SHAMEFUL!

[Hiraeth]

13. Just really tired of being sold a load of crap. You can buy it but, don't expect me to.

Used to think she would make a good VEEP for Bernie. Not any more.

[RBInMaine]

15. And when she wins the nomination what are you going to do? Vote Trump? If so, CRAZY.

[Hiraeth]

18. ****IF**** she wins the nomination.

[NCTraveler]

8. The right wing attacks make her stronger.

The current right wing attacks with respect to her emails are going to give her the win in Iowa.

[cali]

9. She may well win Iowa, but it won't be because her email fuckup is a strength.

It ain't. And it's pathetic that it's even close. No one has ever had as many advantages as hill.

[RBInMaine]

14. Email email email...bla bla bla. Debunked BS right wing talking point. Her advantage is STRENGTH.

She was born in the middle class. Dad was a small business owner. She is BRILLIANT and EARNED her way up. She is PROGRESSIVE and STRONG.

[cali]

21. She isn't strong because she's terrified of losing.

And on issue after issue, she's led, not followed. Most disturbing, is the overwhelming evidence that she and Bill are corrupt.

[Gore1FL]

38. Actually the email wasn't debunked

And having a server in one's house instead of a secure data center shows a lack of attention to details, or worse, thinking they have a the answers without investigating.

While Hillary is better that any GOP candidate, she is hardly a good candidate, herself. She continues to demonstrate this.

[NCTraveler]

36. Yeah, advantages. Lol.

Decades of bullshit right wing attack. We are to the point they don't hurt her. They bring out energy in many of us. Pathetic? Really speaks well to the other candidates considering with one day left she is still the damn near unchallenged front runner.

[Gore1FL]

39. She sure attacks her main "unchallenger" a lot. n/t

[NCTraveler]

47. It's a primary.

One of the more polite ones I've seen.

[Gore1FL]

58. Then I guess she isn't unchallenged? n/t

[NCTraveler]

70. It's a primary.

One of the most polite ones I have seen.

Not sure how that statement brought you to your question. Anyway, read my previous posts in this thread. My answer to that will be found there.

[Gore1FL]

128. You said she was unchallenged.

I'm not sure why you are spending energy trying to defend that erroneous statement.

[NCTraveler]

129. I didn't make an attempt to defend it.

More often than not I don't spend any time defending common sense. If that is the starting point, I don't have the time nor would I find it enjoyable.

[Gore1FL]

135. I accept your concession. n/t

[cali]

57. Yes, advantages. Huge advantages.

The entire dem establishment, the corporate backing, the MSM which has backed her for years despite the ludicrous hillarian accusation that the MSM is unfair to her. No candidate outside a sitting president has ever had such advantages

[Nyan]

16. I wish I could alert someone for being so annoying.

[LovingA2andMI]

62. Understandable.....

[Vinca]

20. If Hillary is the nominee we might well have a GOP president.

The latest email revelation is like adding gasoline to the dishonesty fire. She's given them so much material to use against her I don't see how she wins. She's not the most likable candidate in the world and even if voters think she might be the most qualified, they will be looking for a reason not to vote for her.

[nc4bo]

33. Oh, the shitstorm will be epic and never-ending.

And we actually have a way to prevent it from happening, yes we do!

[joeybee12]

23. and far too many at DU are simply repeating

Right wing lies. KNR

[zalinda]

24. Isn't there an old saying..........

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

The Clintons have brought most of this crap on themselves. If they didn't do stupid things, they wouldn't get 1/2 the criticism they get.

The email scandal is just an example. I don't know of many CEO's who would allow one of their executive staff to put together a private server, and use it for company business. I'm pretty sure that that executive would have been fired as soon as it came out. She acted like she wasn't part of the team, which is mind boggling to me. So, she did it anyway, an email system which was a little more fortified than a home computer system. This computer system should have been like Fort Knox, if it was to be used for foreign policy and top secret emails.

Did she have to put together this email system? No. This was a bad (stupid) decision, which she is rightly criticized for. Now, it is taking valuable time and money to go through this system to see if it got hacked or if any thing else is amiss. And, to top it off, she didn't comply to the investigation right away, but stalled and deleted emails and made it more difficult for an audit. Even if she did nothing wrong (well, she did do something stupid), she had made it look worse than it may actually be, and it is HER FAULT. You can't blame this on any one else, she did something that she should have known was dumb and then tried to cover it up and has now cost us taxpayers millions of dollars and maybe millions more still to come and has taken agents off of assignments that could be used for national security.

This is only ONE of the bad decisions that Hillary and/or Bill have made since they have been in the public sector. Some attack may not have been warranted, but some have been. This is not something that they should be proud of.

[NurseJackie]

31. Another old saying: "More stuff being thrown to see if it sticks to the wall"

[libdem4life]

116. Apparently, this one has stuck...witness wiped servers and pleading 5th and..I know you don't get it

but the FBI and State don't "throw stuff against a wall". Are you saying there is a conspiracy by the forementioned?

[99Forever]

27. Bullshit.

More like the Clintons drag the nation down into the gutter where they live. Warmongering, lying, cheating, pandering, protecting the worst criminals in the USA, personally enriching themselves, and NEVER taking responsibility for the shit they have unleashed on We the People is what they are about.

[LovingA2andMI]

65. This^^^^^

Thank You!!!

[dorkzilla]

83. Very Putin-esque

He's been hit with scandal after scandal and is still standing. Doesn't mean he's not as corrupt as the day is long.

[99Forever]

86. Exactly.

[MissDeeds]

103. Bingo!

[vercetti2021]

32. Advice

Put the bottle down and step away from the computer, the amount of crap that is coming from you is ridiculous.

[islandmkl]

34. STANDING TALL!! MORE LIKE:

PROPPED UP BY MILLION$$$ FROM WALL STREET

[SoLeftIAmRight]

35. but who is she standing with

she will throw to some scraps

but she stands with the one percent - and that is who will win

[beam me up scottie]

43. Wall Street, the MIC, the pharmaceutical industry, and her other big donors.

She sold us out a long time ago.

[Duckhunter935]

81. yep, that's why she does not have my vote

[jalan48]

41. The fact that she has received millions of dollars in speaking fees from Wall St. firms

is not crap. It's reality. Progressive on Wall St. is she?

[Sunlei]

68. Thats republicans main 'talking point' too!

As republicans have backing of billions from Corps and thousands of republican political 'charities'

[jalan48]

77. Republican's are proud of their candidates ties to Wall St.

That used to be one of the major differences between the parties. I find it sad that so many Hillary supporters have adopted the same Republican-like attitude about Hillary and her Wall St. ties.

[Duckhunter935]

80. so it can't be brought up

The truth is they have made millions from Wall Street and are bought.

[Sunlei]

104. oh yes, most Corps are naturally republican, they don't want unions, 'rights' or minimum wages

slave labor is best but in America only prisoners (or cheap foreign workers) are the last 'legal' slaves.

[SunSeeker]

44. I can't wait too!

[polly7]

45. Much more than I can say for all the slain women, children and men

in nations she pushed for to decimate militarily, anyway. They're not standing so tall.

[Stuckinthebush]

49. Absolutely

She is standing tall and will continue to do so.

She will be a wonderful president.

[pnwmom]

50. Thanks, RBInMaine!

[DCBob]

56. It is remarkable she has been able to stand up against the entire RW cabal...

and not just survive but thrive. That performance during the Benghazi interrogations was probably her finest hour.. or rather hours!

[aikoaiko]

59. Sorry, I want a nominee I can believe in.

She is politically tough, but not tough enough to be more consistent over the years.

[navarth]

61. Sec. Clinton does stand tall against the lies from the right.

It's the FACTS from the LEFT that are her problem. It is tragic indeed.

[cali]

79. Yep.

[Sunlei]

63. Made it through & past 2008 republican Brutal! pounding was when I started to respect her strength

It has always been my opinion that the attacks against Mrs. Clinton in 2008 were so fierce, that's what helped make Obama that primary victor. Republicans didn't think Obama would win as President, they under estimated his strength too.

Mrs. Clinton is much stronger, more seasoned then she was in 2007-2008. I like Senator Sanders a lot! but I doubt republicans can pound down Mrs. Clinton enough for Sanders to win the primary.

But it will be close primary and I wish Sanders and Clinton would team-up and make the general election a D landslide.

[Cryptoad]

66. GOP attacks failed all this years

Bernie should have known better that to use the GOP style attacks on her. Only Question remaining now is how big a bounce HRC will get out of Iowa win going to NH!

[Art_from_Ark]

72. So were you a right-wing smearer back in 2008?

13. See how she talks about how the story so "HURT" her inside? She PLAYS to the audience.

This is why she lies and distorts so much. She works very hard to PLAY to the particular audience she is with. (If it's New Yorkers, she is a "lifelong Yankee fan." If it's a group of women, she turns into the "loving mother whose own daughter was in danger on 9/11." If it's the end of a debate, she "is honored to be with Barack Obama." If it's in Ohio, then "shame on you Barack Obama." etc. etc.) She wants so much to appear "human" because so many people feel she is so cold. You just don't know which Hillary you are going to get on any given day or at any given moment. I wonder if she suffers from multiple personality syndrome

73. Progressive?????

Really? I don't think so. I will agree that Clinton has taken a lot of shit from the GOP for years, but progressive is a stretch.

[RoccoR5955]

76. Queen Hillary I SHALL be coronated!

All hail the Queen!
She has been attacked, but unlike Marie Antoinette, she has not been prosecuted. Therefore she MUST be coronated!
She shall be Queen of the US, as it is now her time!
She has been the Chosen One by the Almighty.
All hail the Queen!

[mikehiggins]

130. I am so sick of the "we always expected a robust contest" lie

HRC and her pals and Wall Street and the chattering class and, and, and...

ALL expected a coronation. Many expected Warren would run and when she backed off, and the rest of the pols agreed to the "its her turn" nonsense Sanders was pressed into the fray.

And not to put him down but NOBODY thought a campaign based on real Democratic Party principles would resonate with the public.

Now HRC and her cronies are in the fight of their lives against an old Jew from Brooklyn in his seventies. They have all the advantages and privileges of supporting a candidate who is equally comfortable in the board rooms of Wall Street and the Board Room of Walmarts.

All Sanders has is a history of pro-people votes and, oh yeah, a whole bunch of people.

Iowa will be a starting line. The game will be afoot.

No one believes for a second that this is how HRC and her cronies expected things to go.

82. She may still be standing tall...

...and better off financially than at any other time in her life... Most of the rest of us, though, have been beaten down by the relentless onslaught of Republican policies while weak (read: complicit) Democrats did little or nothing to protect our interests.

Finally we have the choice of someone who will fight for US, Bernie Sanders. He has shown he is not afraid to confront the big money boys (and yes, it is still mostly boys) head-on.

Go, Bernie!

She is easily the most hated politician in the country

[chervilant]

[pandr32]

97. She has had everything thrown at her

And then faced sexism, too. One thing most people who buy into the anti-Hillary rhetoric fail to understand--the huge amount of money and energy spent attacking her to try to keep her out-of-power (by the Big Business interests who fund Republicans) is not because "she has ties to Wall-Street", or "is part of the establishment"--if that were the case they wouldn't be spending millions and millions to stop her. They are scared of her for good reason.

This one?

"I believe that by the year 2000 we will have a single payer system,... I don't even think it's a close call politically... if it's not successful the first time, it will eventually be." H R Clinton 1994

Or this one?
