[Feeling the Bern]

1. She is fun back peddle mode. The MSM can't cover for her much longer.

This is the same playbook she ran against Obama and lost, even though her minions in Washington, the media and here on DU kept saying she was inevitable.

The might is beginning to fall.

2. shocked she didn't have a prepared answer about possible indictment.

4. She's surrounded by hacks and sycophants. She lives in that tight bubble.

They were not gonna prep her for that kind of question.

[Divernan]

12. Her hacks/sycophants too scared of her to dare suggest that to her!

The Wrath of Klinton is not a myth, you know. Just google HRC's abusive remarks to the Arkansas State Troopers and Secret Service men and women over the decades.

I can just hear that hushed conversation at Clinton campaign headquarters:

Buffy: Somebody has to get her prepped to answer questions about possible indictments.

Jorge: Well that "somebody" ain't gonna be me! YOU tell her to prepare those answers.

Buffy: No, YOU tell her.

Jorge: I'm not gonna tell her! - I need this job, poorly paid as it is. I'm the one with massive student loan debt who couldn't find a decent job in this crap economy. You're the Ivy League trust fund baby who can afford an unpaid "internship" while your One Percent Daddy picks up the tab for all your living expenses, first class airfare, etc. So YOU tell her!

Buffy: Oh, fuck it. She'll drop out by June anyway. I'm spending the summer in Europe and starting my MBA at Stanford in September.

3. If the Debates are intended to bash Democratic candidates, they should pass

Either stick to the issues or pass on these debates.

The last thing Democrats need is a long TV ad bashing Democratic candidates.

5. I thought this was a good debate because it was REAL

These moderators asked some really hardball questions and I felt great about that because it is something I have wanted to see for decades. I get sick of the kind of 'debates' that just allow each candidate to trot out some applause lines, and it didn't happen here.

What is even better, I think, is the way Latinos and African Americans are standing up and making demands. Sure, the debate was about immigration, Cuba, central America etc. But it was good these candidates got asked these questions. I'd LOVE to see this type of hardball debate with the GOP. Oh, they will never do it, but just think...

6. She may not be a "natural" politician, but she sure is a stereotypical one

I suppose a natural politician would hoodwink most people with ease, and Hillary comes across as deceptive and artificial, though she does fib with astonishing ease, and all of those qualities are what one expects in a stereotypical establishment politician. Bernie isn't a natural politician either; he's just himself, saying what he honestly believes, and that genuine quality is so non-stereotypical that it causes most people to sit up and take notice.

Hillary is "fighting for them" alright; "them" being her billionaire donors and buddies at Goldman Sachs!

[Divernan]

13. By "natural politician" I think she meant having charisma and likeabililty.

You know - someone perceived as trustworthy and honest.

I agree with her - she is not a natural politician.

[Javaman]

17. I think she's very much a natural politician

she lies, she flip flops and she takes money from corporate interests.

that's todays natural politician.

what I think she is not, is a person prepared or capable for running for president.

she is weighed down by too much baggage.

7. not lbn, it is an opinion piece nt

[ebayfool]

8. It's an article. Not a letter to the editor opinion piece.

Is the content the problem? I thought it quite accurate.

[JesterCS]

10. It's amazing how quick Clinton backers are ready to

Alert or make a snide comment when posts are against their candidate

[ebayfool]

11. Uh-huh! I went ahead and cross posted it to GD:P (with cred to the OP, Purveyor) just in case ...

some wise guy decided to try alert this as 'opinion' and getting it hid.

Some people, I swear ...

[onehandle]

14. And yet she is too far ahead in delegates and votes to catch. nt

[greymouse]

15. dream on.

Bernie's states are coming up.

Democrats abroad are in minus the mail in ballots and a few more hours. Bernie 70% Hill 30%.

[ellennelle]

16. agree with your lower image there, the gun thang

so, would you also say the billions of dollars in weapons clinton cleared for sale to israel and saudi arabia are WMDs, as well?

just, you know, for clarification. on consistency.

[Gore1FL]

18. 200-250 is not "too far ahead in delegates" at this time.

When a candidate passes the 50% threshold, then that candidate will be "too far ahead in delegates." Your attempts to minimize the opinions of voters in the of states that have not voted yet is disturbingly undemocratic.
