Hillary's 2016 Resolution: Destroy Bernie, "Seem Nice Doing It"

Hillary already has her 2016 resolution...

Hillary's 2016 Resolution: Destroy Bernie, "Seem Nice Doing It"

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Today, Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced her 2016 resolution was to "completely destroy" U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont - her primary challenger for the party's presidential nomination. Clinton asserted she wanted to tear down Sanders, and everything he ever loved, while also desiring to "seem nice doing it" so her already upside-down favorability numbers did not go even lower.

Clinton continued, "Isn't Bernie's age more important than me palling around with the bankers, and not wanting to do anything meaningful to reform Wall Street or avoid the next financial meltdown? Isn't his age worse than me voting to authorize the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and learning so little from it that I openly entertain the very real possibility of a war with Iran if I am president?"

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Posting satire as fact is just ridiculous. Can we cut the crap?

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Jan 1, 2016, 12:28 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This over the top crap is getting old
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: My take is, leave the sophomoric humor to sophomores, or if you absolutely must share your rapier wit, label it.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nobody is posting satire as fact. I suspect the humor cuts too close for alerter.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Sounds very "Third Way" like.. What's the issue? Sounds like humor to me...
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Only those who don't possess the ability to recognize satire will think this is fact. The link is to a recognized satirical site.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

If Hillary is going to win it all, I fail to see how this satirical story will change that outcome.

If the plutocrats and their Congress-critters don't think we will fight back, they are sadly mistaken.

I can't remember ever seeing anything like that. BTW, I believe the Nil Admirari is known to be a satirical site, or at least trying to be one.

of game plan. Just rolling the dice on the jury.
I say this not as some sort of CT thing, but because the lameness and the total reaching and willful misunderstanding surely cannot be due to less intelligent DU members, right?
