How about with her core value system that allows her to believe that war is a good business opportunity. We could go on from there, but that is all I need.

The one that launched an unnecessary war based on what she knew were lies, or the one that provided the necessary supplies to keep our soldiers as safe as possible in an untenable situation that was a result of the prior disastrous vote?

You're playing the Devil's math.

6. Her campaign's stated strategy is to disqualify him
Thu Apr 7, 2016, 02:29 PM

So...

dis·qual·i·fy
disˈkwäləˌfī/Submit
verb
pronounce (someone) ineligible for an office or activity because of an offense or infringement.
"he was disqualified from driving for six months"
synonyms: banned, barred, debarred; ineligible
"the disqualified entrants included a girl who had lied about her age"
eliminate (someone) from a competition because of an infringement of the rules.
"he was disqualified after failing a drug test"
(of a feature or characteristic) make (someone) unsuitable for an office or activity.
"a heart murmur disqualified him for military service"

So, if she doesn't think he isn't qualified she certainly wants to create that perception in the mind of voters...in other words...smear him.

Odd coming from an HRC supporter, you'd think they would direct this threshold at their own candidate to be 'exact'



good luck with that...

Thu Apr 7, 2016, 03:21 PM

Sanders certainly questioned her being qualified, but every statement had a qualifying "if". But that is splitting hairs on both sides.

To all but the most rabid Clinton supporters, this looks like the classic of parents dealing with squabbling siblings. (Angelica in "Rugrats" anyone?)

This is backfiring on Clinton. All it takes is running video back-to-back of nearly identical attacks against Sanders and against Obama in 2007-2008. When people already think you are dishonest, these contrived attacks make you look really bad.
