Better Get Used to Hearing About E-mails and Benghazi if Hillary Clinton is the nominee.

[LS_Editor]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Autumn (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Because it will be nonstop through the summer and Election Day.

Is she better than anyone on the other side? Yes. Is she a strong candidate? Very doubtful. Lots of weaknesses.

[onecaliberal]

1. They will impeach her on the first day proceedings will start, and I hate to say it but

they have grounds.

[redstateblues]

2. Sean Hannity - is that you?

Believe me , if you think Bernie doesn't have many vulnerabilities you need to get out of the DU bubble occasionally. A CO as Commander in Chief?

[arcane1]

3. What a stupid thing to say. People who disagree with you are Sean Hannity now?

[Orrex]

11. No, but people who parrot silly GOP talking points are reminiscent of Hannity

[Hortensis]

35. Exactly. And guess what? "People are sick and tired

of hearing about your damned e-mails!"

Guess what else? When they bring up Benghazi, we bring up proof that the whole thing, years of it, was nothing but a made-up sliming of a political opponent, and then we follow with Hillary's powerful performance at that last hearing where she calmly wiped out a whole roomful of slimeballs.

Just how awesome Hillary Clinton can be, btw, is the last thing they're going to want America reminded of.

[redstateblues]

16. That crap is taken right from FOX and you know it

[Politicalboi]

37. It's not from Faux, it's reality

If Bernie is out and this shit hits the fan who ya gonna blame then. Do you expect us to pick up that torch and go with it.

[sharp_stick]

17. This one suresounds a lot like him n/t

[geek tragedy]

32. no, people who support Republican attempts to impeach Democratic presidents

over bullshit most certainly belong to at least one of two categories:

1) Dumb as paint;

2) on the wrong website

[Orrex]

8. No they won't, and no they don't

And if the Democrats retake the Senate, they certainly won't hold any impeachment hearings.

[onecaliberal]

15. They will, and they most certainly do, you can bury your head in the sand all you'd

like it doesn't change the facts. This isn't lying about sex... This is NATIONAL SECURITY, and she damn well knew better.

[sharp_stick]

19. All that evidence, wow

you've convinced me.

[all american girl]

20. What are you talking about?

[Orrex]

23. Aaaaaannnd there we have it

...you can bury your head in the sand...

There is no surer sign of a cultist or a wacky conspiracy theorist than the quick-draw accusation that anyone who disagrees is either blind or hiding from the truth.

If you're really concerned about impeachment proceedings, you should vote for the Democrat on the ticket and help the Democrats retake the Senate.

[onecaliberal]

34. Hiding in the sand means, contrary to ALL FACTS, you refuse to see. It's not a matter

of disagreement, the law is clear. You however, seem to just want to throw around accusations. I am done with this conversation now. Enjoy the dust bin.

[LibDemAlways]

10. They can't impeach her unless she wins.

Since Hillary supporters seem to be moe interested in alienating Bernie's voters than giving us solid reasons to vote for her (fear of Trump doesn't count) and Republicans hate her with fiery passion, it's a crapshoot that she could pull off a victory in a year when people are done with the status quo.

But, yes, should she win, impeachment proceedings, if the R's are still in charge, would start before she finished her inaugural speech.

[Orrex]

18. "Fear of Trump doesn't count" That's a straw man

You seek to reduce the entirely legitimate concerns about a Trump presidency to "fear of Trump." That's childish.

I am not afraid of Trump, but I recognize the catastrophic disaster that would result from his election. Therefore, the rejection of Trump is more than adequate reason to vote for the Democrat on the ticket.


It's funny how some of Sanders' supporters consider her a Republican in all but name, yet Republicans are the only people who hate her more than Sanders' supporters.

[angrychair]

39. Still fear-mongering

You stated:
"but I recognize the catastrophic disaster that would result from his election. Therefore, the rejection of Trump is more than adequate reason to vote for the Democrat on the ticket."

First, he would be president, not dictator. All that crazy bullshit about a wall and Mexico paying for it and banning Muslims and all that other ignorant shit he spews is theater. Congress is not going to do that, no matter who controls Congress. All this fear-mongering around tRump's "policies" is silly.
I am far more worried about his interactions with world leaders and the embarrassment of having this moron elected president. He has the vocabulary of a 6th grader. I care for that reason but the rest is hyperbole.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

21. They don't have grounds.

That's bullshit and you know it.

[geek tragedy]

24. Sarah Palin and Louie Gohmert would agree with you.

Sane people would not.

[msongs]

36. bernie republicans will rejoice and shout hallelujah eh? nt

[liberal N proud]

4. I don't think anyone is listening to that trumped up propaganda any more

The GOP used that line of rhetoric way too early.

They will try and some will continue to use it to justify their already developed hate for Hillary.

[KamaAina]

5. "trumped up"?

[Donald Ian Rankin]

25. Lots of people are, but very few who would ever vote for a Democrat.

Clinton is a hate figure on the right, but so would Sanders be.

She's also currently something a hate figure on the far left, but I hope that will fade rapidly after the primaries. Take a look back at DU a couple of years ago, and you'll see an awful lot of admiration for her; I suspect that most (although not all) of the Sandersites will go back to believing that they were always at war with Eastasia just as quickly and comprehensively as they changed their minds in the other direction.

[world wide wally]

6. If anything turns people off to Trump it will be more harping on emails and Benghazi

Just like people in here turn the rest of us off with that old bullshit

[KamaAina]

7. Better Get Used to Hearing About Walls, Travel Bans, and Fraud if Drumpf is the nominee.

[hack89]

9. Hopefully Bernie's supporters will take a break

at least on DU we should be hearing less of it.

[MohRokTah]

12. Like it han't been non-stop for nine months from the Berniebros???

38. Which is worse?

BernieBros or Trump with the help of MSM?

Oh: love how you use the ROFL emoticons ; the yellow is awesome!

[Agnosticsherbet]

13. No problem. I'm used to being lied to by Republicans.

We should welcome their scorn.

[randome]

14. I'm so afraid!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]I'm always right. When I'm wrong I admit it.
So then I'm right about being wrong.[/center][/font][hr]

[Donald Ian Rankin]

22. We already are.

I don't know if you've noticed, but the Republicans have been going at Clinton full tilt for years, and have already extracted what juice there is from most of her alleged flaws.

So it's a fairly safe bet that she won't suddenly become massively less popular between now and November.

By contrast, Sanders has not had that experience of roasting. He's been handled with kid gloves by the Republicans, who would dearly love to run against him; if by some implausible catastrophe he were to win the nomination he would suddenly find himself having to face what Clinton has weathered for years, and more, and would probably melt down in the face of it.

[artyteacher]

26. yeah, we are already used to their lies...

Bored of them really.

If Bernie was the nominee, there would be non-stop ads about him being a commie, honeymooning in Moscow, praising Fidel, and writing about women wanting to be raped.

[giftedgirl77]

27. Not here it won't.

Only sites that allow rightwing talking points will allow that stupid ass noise.

[Orrex]

30. Hmm...

I can't tell if you meant "stupid-ass noise" or "stupid ass-noise," but either interpretation is accurate!

[giftedgirl77]

33. touche'

Texting has ruined me

[Stellar]

28. Enough about those damn e-mails!

[winstars]

29. OK, thanks for the warning...I didn't realize that might happen. Breaking News...

[gratuitous]

40. I know!

My goodness, we hadn't heard anything about e-mails or Benghazi for so long, I'd forgotten these were even issues.

No wait; that's not right. I can remember things that happened more than a day ago. The Republicans have been riding these issues like Slim Pickens at the end of Dr. Strangelove. With more or less the same result.

[The Second Stone]

31. Bring it

she's kicked ass on those "issues".

[truebrit71]

41. Pretty sure the rethuglicans are just itching to impeach another Clinton...

Just think about it, the first ever Husband and Wife Presidents and they both get impeached...

[Autumn]
