1. Her dad was smart, even if he was a Rethug. It's ALWAYS important to read the fine print. n/t

[Luminous Animal]

4. Yep. Promoting that Republican bullshit. "Free stuff." But you and Hillary go on your bad ass

way and explain why we can't have that "free stuff" that the rest of the western world enjoys.

Guess they haven't read the fine print but, oh boy, when they do, that "free stuff" that Rush, and Reagan, and Hannity, and Palin, and Savage, and Beck, and Bush, and Bush, and Trump, and Cruz, and Hillary and her Republican dad… once you read the fine print of that free stuff it will disappear in a poof.

No more universal health care. No more free college. No more family leave. No more generous vacations.

Gone gone gone once you read the fine print.

8. What is that HRC supporters refuse to understand?

We have read the fine print. Not only Bernie's, but HRC's. And we don't want her near the White House.

2. She still is a Goldwater girl. Tin-eared and stuck in the 20th century.

You don't have a downer job, Mrs. Clinton. You just relish the opportunity to put people down. Because that is what all the elite does. And it is all the elite does.

3. Did Hillary look at the fine print on all that money from Wall Street?

Millions for her, nothing for you.

5. "....and promises free college. {Laughter.}"

Thanks for posting, It's a telling moment.

One thing not captured in the OP was the timing of her laughter as she said it.

"...but they're excited by something new and something that is a little different and a little revolutionary and promises free college. {Laughter.} ..."

That laughter says a lot. So dismissive.

6. She's severely undermining Bernie there. When they said "disqualify" they meant it.

A few days ago she said he was confused, didn't understand his own policies, doesn't do his homework -- all of which is designed to paint him as fuzzy headed, mentally deficient, inadequate for the job. Now, in saying he's "a little different, a little revolutionary, promises free college," she's making him out to be flaky and fraudulent -- not the Real Deal. Huge assault on his image.

I am sure these phrases were invented for her by genius (Luntzian/Rovian style) rhetoricians. It's extremely nasty but it could be effective; the language itself sounds so ladylike, almost coy. She's trying to destroy his ethos while building up her own. I hope Bernie can address it directly for what it is without becoming angry or defensive. I hope his people see this for what it is. It is a serious attack.

The lower she goes in her attacks, the lower the likelihood I would vote for her under any circumstance. For those who can see what she's doing for what it is -- well, it's ... profoundly ugly.

9. I passed that point a while back. Thing is, the ugliness is massive and revolting, and

then - I cannot vote for war and fracking and the TPP and cluster bombs and other things that hurt people. At this point, all I see there is RW stuff, not Democratic stuff. Bernie or no Bernie.

[Renew Deal]

11. That's nothing compared to what the republicans will say.

And your post is far uglier in tone than anything Hillary's campaign has said.

[Renew Deal]

12. Bernie or Bust

[Waiting For Everyman]

7. Think small, kids.

Shut up and pay those tuition bills for decades.

[Renew Deal]

10. Her dad is correct. Sometimes things are too good to be true

And beware of scam artists. Very important lesson. A friend of mine said his father once told him "there's no free lunch." The other person always wants something.

[BernieforPres2016]

13. Yeah, we can't possibly come up with $70 billion a year

And it would destroy Bill and Hillary's future income stream from the sham industry known as "for profit colleges", which Bernie's proposal would likely put out of business.

Why doesn't Hillary just come out and say she's still a Republican like her Daddy was and like she has been for most of her life other than a short period of idealism in her 20's?

She sort of channeled Sally Field there: "You like me, you really like me."

[reformist2]

14. Clinton continues to ignore that what Bernie is proposing already exists in Europe.

[geek tragedy]

15. "There is no such thing as a free lunch"

Bernie people never heard that one before?

16. Translation: keep the interest flowing on those college loans.
