message board are working diligently to help them achieve that by making it difficult for people to vote for the eventual Democratic nominee.

If the GOP takes over, they wont have to worry about who they are going to vote for, they wont be voting or if they do they will be counted far less, if only they understood stuff like this.

Actually, my reaction to those comments by the Sanders campaign was very similar to hers.

She believes it doesn't matter what she does or says, Democrats will fall in line to stop Drumpf if she's the nominee.

It's sick that her strategy boils down to that. It's folly for her.

That being said there are many other elements that are questionable that do not involve sexism around Bill. This election is and should not be about personal sexual incidents of candidates, now institutional sexism especially in the work place is fair game.

She Can't Win Honestly.

I don't think she'll win at all but if she does then even her most ardent supporters won't be able to deny that the win absolutely depended upon the shady existence of Super Delegates and acceptance of Super PAC money, against her stated outrage with Citizens United.

Disingenuous, dishonest, all day long.

Hahahahaha.

The destruction of a sovereign nation and the lives of millions of people wouldn't even have most people imagining a single bit of it funny. This video, actually the whole debacle and the lies it took to make it happen still nauseates me. Just as Iraq, just as she wanted for Syria and has hopes for, imo, Iran.

That's a warhawk laugh.

I got a post hidden because I called Clinton a psychopath regards to that clip.

My other hidden post in the last decade at DU was: "Who cares what you think? nt" in response to Bravenak.

Under a different screen name on old DU had a post hidden in 9/11 forum baiting a troll.

I totally agree with you.

Yes. Nauseating. And troubling too.

have the power - (without even having to worry about hiding anything on a private server - the Libya emails, the Saudi weapons sales) - to do it all over again. She's been well aware of PNAC's plans - her adviser was the originator of the whole damn thing - the "7 countries in 5 years".

Kagan, who I’ve known since the 1980s when he was a rising star on Ronald Reagan’s State Department propaganda team (selling violent right-wing policies in Central America), has been signaling his affection for Clinton for some time, at least since she appointed him as an adviser to her State Department and promoted his wife Victoria Nuland, a former top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, to be the State Department’s chief spokesperson. Largely because of Clinton’s patronage, Nuland rose to assistant secretary of state for European affairs and oversaw the provocative “regime change” in Ukraine in 2014.

Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland during a press conference at the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, Ukraine, on Feb. 7, 2014. (U.S. State Department photo)

Later in 2014, Kagan told The New York Times that he hoped that his neocon views which he had begun to call “liberal interventionist” would prevail in a possible Hillary Clinton administration. The Times reported that Clinton “remains the vessel into which many interventionists are pouring their hopes” and quoted Kagan as saying:

“I feel comfortable with her on foreign policy. If she pursues a policy which we think she will pursue it’s something that might have been called neocon, but clearly her supporters are not going to call it that; they are going to call it something else.”

Now, Kagan, whose Project for the New American Century wrote the blueprint for George W. Bush’s disastrous Iraq War, is now abandoning the Republican Party in favor of Hillary Clinton.


https://consortiumnews.com/2016/02/25/neocon-kagan-endorses-hillary-clinton/

It's almost unbelievable that she has the possibility of fulfilling, to me (perfectly obvious watching her 'valuing advice' from fucking war-criminal Kissinger and emailing the disgraced 'hoping for investors in post-Libya' Blumenthal, openly pushing for the invasion of Iraq) her true objectives and, not just dismissal, but reckless and purposeful disregard for millions of human beings in the rest of the world.

rubs me the wrong way. His constant interruptions when on the stage and Hillary is making her case.

This explains Bernie very well….

"Loved that interview with Bernie ***conscientious objector*** Sanders! Finally, people are seeing him for the blow-hard that he is. He's not leadership material, and he doesn't really have a plan other than "Get me to the WH and I'll figure it out from there, maybe." HRC does need to go harder on him. But, she's not the asshat he is. If the shoe were on the other foot he'd be merciless. Just one more reason why I'm with her, not him."

Go Hillary!
