Hillary announced during the debate that she was invited to Flint by the mayor..

[Punkingal]

I'm wondering why the mayor didn't invite other candidates as well? Is the mayor making a political statement? And why would she do that? It seems to me Flint can use all the attention it can get.

1. Because when the story first broke about Flint she sent an aide right away to corner the mayor and

turn Flint into a political opportunity.

[Punkingal]

2. The mayor is being used.

3. How can you think she sees this as a political opportunity?

It is a tragic situation that would be inappropriate to use for photo ops and soundbites.

She's going there to learn that it is a tragic situation.

[Punkingal]

4. But she will use photo ops and soundbites.

5. I forgot something

8. Clearly the mayor is stupid

Why else would she invite Hillary? I'm amazed there are so many stupid people in the dem party. I just hope and pray they take the advice of Bernie supporters and stop being so stupid. Of course it could be the mayor is even more stupid to invite Hillary because of the thinking with her vagina thing, oh wait make that triple stupid for also being a black female dem mayor.

11. I didn't say she was stupid, and I'm not sexist or a racist.

12. Oh NOEZ!

The faux poutrage sexist card.

You winz da internets!

13. The mayor is probablywants any help she can get. If Hillary will shine a light on the

crisis,having Hill come is a mutually beneficial thing.

6. Probably because she understands that Clinton is by far the most effective at getting things done.

[HooptieWagon]

9. I don't think bombing Flint will help.

But then, I'm not as experienced at Hillarys system of getting things done.

[DanTex]

10. Heh. Funny. Bombing.
