EVERY SINGLE pro-Hillary post says "Sanders just lost the campaign by fighting back too hard!"

[mhatrw]

LOL. This isn't the Dean Scream because this isn't 2004.

Clinton's campaign and supporters can coordinate attacks with corporate media as much as they want.

The NYDN "Sanders doesn't even understand his own proposals of know how to ride the subway" gambit failed miserably. It's 2016. They have to post the full transcript. We can and did read it for ourselves. The only people who believe it proves Sanders is an unqualified lightweight are those would rather spend 30 minutes hearing the babble of a gaggle of pundiots telling them what to think than 20 minutes reading the entire interview for themselves.

The "Clinton can say Sanders is unqualified, but Sanders cannot respond in kind" gambit will also fail miserably. All Sanders did was list off the main reasons his supporters trust him over Clinton. The more that clip is played to try to "destroy" Sanders, the more true Democrats will realize who is actually qualified to be President and who is not. Your would be emperor has no progressive clothes, and somebody just had the courage to mention that bluntly.

3. This isn't "fighting back" this is just foolish.

His campaign isn't over because of this but some people will change their minds.

9. Because they like politicians who vote take huge campaign special interest money and then

vote for needless wars and terrible trade agreements?

Are people all excited about that?

4. Weird, I haven't seen that.

A few silly digs that I pay no mind to, but both sides do this all day long. I saw several posts claiming that Bernie just won becasue he fought back. Nothing to fret over, it's just another day in politics.

5. If she renounced her affiliation with Wall Street and returned...

all of that dirty money, I would vote for her in the GE if she were to win the nomination.

I'm not holding my breath.

She knew exactly what she was doing when she took that money, just as the investment bankers and hedge fund managers knew what they were doing when they stroked those huge checks.

This is not some minor point in which Bernie and HRC disagree. This hits at the very heart of what the party stands for, and who the standard bearer should be. Either you care about working-class and poor Americans, or you owe your loyalty to Wall Street.

Vote accordingly, and I hope you can sleep at night with whichever decision you make.

7. As a poli-sci guy, I'm watching human political fabric tear apart in real-time. It's comical.

8. These old tricks don't work anymore

there is a disconnect because their public trust has been badly damaged or even lost. People simply don't heed someone they don't trust.

This is why tactics change toward more authoritarian style, because once trust is lost, then compliance must be forced. This has been the RW way and I am watching to see how far the HRC camp drifts further to the right.
