Sanders says Clinton campaign is coming 'unraveled' by his progress
By CATHERINE LUCEY and MICHELLE RINDELS Associated Press
RENO, Nev.
Bernie Sanders is pronouncing himself startled by the ferocity of Hillary Clinton's attempts to take him down, saying she's coming "unraveled" by his progress in the Democratic presidential campaign.
The Vermont senator used unusually blunt words to express frustration with his opponent when he spoke to reporters Saturday before flying to Colorado for a Democratic dinner at which both were scheduled to appear.
Sanders has only fitfully gone back at Clinton when she's gone after him, but he suggested Saturday that his patience is wearing thin.
"This is obviously my first national campaign," Sanders said, "but I am really stunned by some of the attacks we are getting from Secretary Clinton. Clearly they have been unraveled by the results in Iowa, by our victory in New Hampshire and the progress we are making all over this country."
And on foreign policy, he said, "I do get a little bit tired of being lectured by the Clinton people." He raised again her Senate vote in favor of invading Iraq and said that on the most important foreign policy issue in modern times, "I voted the right way, she voted the wrong way."

One smart dude..
He's been around the track a few times, 'ole Bernie has.
Heh heh heh
That Annie Oakley?
Yesterday, Clinton hit Obama for calling Pennsylvanians "bitter," ground on which he fairly ably engaged.
Today, she's onto the other half of his San Francisco remarks, in which he linked economic frustration to clinging to religion and guns (the part he sought to walk back this morning in Muncie, Ind.).
"Sen. Obama's remarks are elitist, and they are out of touch," Clinton said. "The people of faith I know don't 'cling to' religion because they're bitter. ... I also disagree with Sen. Obama's assertion that people in this country 'cling to guns' and have certain attitudes about immigration or trade simply out of frustration. People of all walks of life hunt — and they enjoy doing so because it's an important part of their life, not because they are bitter."

But Clinton hasn’t always been so forceful in her fight for gun control. As the Post highlights, Clinton has dramatically shifted her tone on gun control since the 2008 campaign. While Clinton touted her husband’s record record on gun control (former President Bill Clinton signed into the law an assault weapons ban that has since lapsed) she also heralded personal memories of learning to shoot with her father and defend gun ownership, saying, “there is not a contradiction between protecting Second Amendment rights” and the effort to reduce crime.
You know, my dad took me out behind the cottage that my grandfather built on a little lake called Lake Winola outside of Scranton and taught me how to shoot when I was a little girl,” Clinton said while campaigning ahead of the Indiana primary, where white working class Democrats propelled her to a narrow victory over then-Sen. Barack Obama. “You know, some people now continue to teach their children and their grandchildren. It’s part of culture. It’s part of a way of life. People enjoy hunting and shooting because it’s an important part of who they are. Not because they are bitter,” she continued, in a dig at Obama’s remark at a fundraiser that disenfranchised Americans often “cling” to cultural symbols like guns and religion.

WAUSAU, WIS. -- At a campaign stop this afternoon, Hillary Clinton's focus was on the economy and health care but some in the crowd had other things on their minds. Clinton was asked to discuss gun control which prompted Clinton to talk about her days holding a rifle in the cold, shallow waters in backwoods Arkansas.
"I've hunted. My father taught me how to hunt. I went duck hunting in Arkansas. I remember standing in that cold water, so cold, at first light. I was with a bunch of my friends, all men. The sun's up, the ducks are flying and they are playing a trick on me. They said, 'we're not going to shoot, you shoot.' They wanted to embarrass me. The pressure was on. So I shot, and I shot a banded duck and they were surprised as I was," Clinton said drawing laughter from the crowd.

Q: Do you support the DC handgun ban?
A: I want to give local communities the authority over determining how to keep their citizens safe. This case you’re referring to is before the Supreme Court.
Q: But what do you support?
A: I support sensible regulation that is consistent with the constitutional right to own and bear arms.
Q: Is the DC ban consistent with that right?
A: I think a total ban, with no exceptions under any circumstances, might be found by the court not to be. But DC or anybody else [should be able to] come up with sensible regulations to protect their people.
Q: But do you still favor licensing and registration of handguns?
A: What I favor is what works in NY. We have one set of rules in NYC and a totally different set of rules in the rest of the state. What might work in NYC is certainly not going to work in Montana. So, for the federal government to be having any kind of blanket rules that they’re going to try to impose, I think doesn’t make sense.

Better get a new calendar.
That's the problem!
Probably from the dampness down south. 
That's a problem?
She's tough.
Oh wait.
Thats not President Obama; its Rappaport.
Rappaport appears to be comfortable and competent at handling guns.
I thought you supporter her? I know she's pulling the same rookie mistakes as '08 but Kissinger told her this is what she should do. And he's never wrong. Or at least that's what he told her.
OK. How's that?
I missed that in the body..
Thanks
I had used the title in the article.
I missed the actual quote farther down in the body.
My error.
This was almost as hilarious.
Right? At least that is the impression I get from some of her supporters.
I forget what about.
Somebody on 'our team' referred to herself as an old broad. :>
)
I said well, in college we called out girlfriends 'chicks.' They called us, "my old man." Something like that. l was cool.
But somebody from the other side of the galaxy called me on it, said it was sexist. So,, I apologized..
Maybe... something chicken, chick,,, I don't know.
An old hippie called me that once and it stuck, it's not offensive at all.
It's getting so you have to watch everything you type here, remember the outrage over the 'BOOBS2016' thread? We jumped that shark a long time ago.
How did I ever miss that?
Boston bean didn't seem to happy about it.
hearts for you for this..
Now I can go to bed happy..
I like boobs. I will think of them all night..
Goodnight!
My mistake.
Thanks..
But you can contact his campaign here. info@berniesanders.com I am sure they would be glad to hear what you have to say.
We need everybody in the fight against the Frankenstein monster of team red. After super Tuesday it won't matter much anyway. I'm a proud Hillary supporter but would vote for Sanders if he makes it. I hope I can say the same for you when Hillary goes to the podium at the convention.
