So the source on Clinton's "new" strategy, is Newsbusters?

Really?

That's what we are going with?

And organization with a slogan of: "The Leader in Documenting, Exposing, and Neutralizing Liberal Media Bias"

Yes lots of people carried the story but all the links seem to come back to this one... At "Newsbusters" and let me just say...

Any shred of respect I have for you is disappearing quickly.

The reporter spoke to campaign officials. Given the events of today, do you seriously question their veracity? Are you claiming it is a lie? That CNN just made this shit up on WI election night?

Asked a third time, Clinton said she would "leave it to voters to decide who of us can do the job the country needs." Earlier on Wednesday, the Sanders campaign sent out two fundraising emails reacting to Clinton’s comments on “Morning Joe,” as well as an anonymously sourced CNN report claiming her campaign was planning to "disqualify him, defeat him and then they can unify the party later."


Guess we are all taking the Newsbusters bait.

A Clinton campaign fundraising appeal after the Wisconsin primary offered a glimpse into the new approach. The campaign's deputy communications director, Christina Reynolds, argued that Sanders is unqualified, sending a full transcript of a New York Daily News editorial board interview of Sanders.

They are just playing a game now.

It was reported. It has been across all outlets all day. It fits everything that has happened from Clinton saying she isn't even certain he is a 'real Democrat' to the Sandy Hook tweets to fundraising emails with the excerpts of the Daily News interview.

No one is denying in the Clinton camp. NO ONE!

CNN was at Bernie's rally site. Bernie had already packed up and gone to his hotel for the night. As I said in the thread you creepily linked, 'bernie was not expecting' to win MI like he did. He then threw together a makeshift press conference from his hotel.

Nice try though?

According to News Busters, correspondent Jeff Zeleny was the first to sound the attack, speaking during CNN‘s Tuesday night Wisconsin primary coverage.

I guess they quoted Newsbusters who quoted CNN, CNN's Jeff Zeleny made up the "disqualify" meme out of thin air.

“they're running out of patience. So they're going to begin deploying a new strategy. It's going to be called: "Disqualify Him, Defeat Him" … I'm told, beginning here in the New York primary in two weeks on his gun record, on other things.”



IOW, he better come up with a source or this is made up shit.
