We know why Hillary went Full on Attack against Sanders - Bernie is Leading in National Polls

Just like she did in 2008 - so as she does in 2012. It cost her the nomination then and it will cost her the nomination now.






Hillary has just way too much Negative Liabilities (baggage) to wage a Negative Campaign and come out on top.

Hillary has supported each and Everyone of the Disastrous Trade Agreements that have sent millions of jobs overseas.

Hillary has maintained War Hawkish positions on Iraq, Libya, and Syria as proven by the release of her emails with Blummenthal


From: Sidney Blumenthal To: Hillary Clinton Date: 2012-07-23. Quoting an Israeli security source Sidney Blumenthal wrote:

If the Assad regime topples, Iran would lose its only ally in the Middle East and would be isolated. At the same time, the fall of the House of Assad could well ignite a sectarian war between the Shiites and the majority Sunnis of the region drawing in Iran, which, in the view of Israeli commanders would not be a bad thing for Israel and its Western allies.

Most commentators on the Middle East and American foreign affairs now realise that the chaos in the Middle East has a lot to do with Israel and its supportive Jewish lobbies around the world. However, thanks to the newly leaked Clinton email archive we may have a document that provides confirmation that the Yinon Plan was, de facto, an Israeli strategy to create sectarian chaos in the Middle East.

Hillary has constantly Flipped or Flopped on Major Issues affecting millions of Americans. Issues Americans have not forgotten.








Hillary's Arrogance and Elitism prompted her use of an Private Email Server. The legal ramifications are pending, the political ramifications disastrous.

Truth is Hillary ONLY attracts Negatives and her running a negative campaign only amplifies the effect

3. Absolutely True, but there is something else

Fundamentally, Americans did not want another Bush (Jeb went nowhere for a reason) and THEY DON'T WANT ANOTHER CLINTON! I submit to all that if a bigger name than Bernie Sanders had run, Hillary would be losing or be out of the race by now.

Add to it the fact that she is not very likable or good candidate and you have a recipe for disaster in November.

to be President. Unless the entire country is full of Trump-like supporters who think every outrageous thing he says entitles him to more support.

8. What exactly would make her a Great President?

What is her vision for a more perfect union? What wrongs does she seek the Presidency to Right? What transformative policies is she ready to go to bat for?

What will look different in America when she leaves office in 8 years?

Right now she is the agent of the status quo. Her resume is one of following the path of least resistance and getting maximum personal benefit from it, when she is not pushing policies that are simply disastrous. She had run an almost clockwork pay to play situation based on bribes to her personally or through her foundation. She has gotten in the way of progress, then pretended to have been for it the entire time when it passes(LBGT Equality, $15 per hour minimum wage). She casually backstabs Obama whenever she feels it's to her advantage.

Show us more of the first, and less of the last. Her qualifications are looking pretty mediocre right now.

7. he's been way too easy on her all along; she's both unqualified and unfit

her prevarications are scarily pathological; she's a war monger, corrupt, and an anti-progressive
