So Clinton must rewrite the story saying just the opposite, imagining we are all morons not paying attention, imagining we will believe it. They repeat the lie, hoping it will stick, and if it doesn't, they'll go repeat it again anyway.

That's how this tactic works. It is the first rule of advertising: Repetition repetition repetition. It is employed even in the trumpeting of damaged goods. Keep repeating it, people will believe it. Or so they believe.

Bernie will never pass the Democratic Convention to become a Nominee. Why would the Party endose a newbie Democrat for President being a Democrat for just 10 months as of this February? He has had say 40 years to change to the Democratic Party and contribute to the Party.... Like the Clinton's have done.

There is no way the Democratic party can pull shenanigans at the convention to deny him, at least not without losing the masses of people who came out to vote for him and thus ensuring a Hillary loss in the general.

sorry; i'm using that subject line a lot these days, but please people; get a grip.

if you are unable, as this woman appears to be, to discern between real, substantive arguments against hillary, and rehashed GOP propaganda, then gawd help us all.

don't get me wrong, i am so not a huge hillary fan. but we must, as good dems, pay close attention to this important distinction. the rove warriors are more than happy to push this benghazi/email drivel relentlessly, ad nauseam, to divide us as a party. we cannot let them do this.

IF - and i use that word advisedly, as i am beginning to believe the only way hillary will be the nominee is if the DNC hands it to her - IF hillary is the dem candidate come august, then we really have to consider the implications of our votes. we canNOT allow the GOP to corral us into abandoning our better bet, IF that is the case. TOO MUCH IS AT STAKE!!

to refuse to vote for hilllary in that circumstance would essentially mean you are DOING THE GOP'S BIDDING!

meanwhile, FEEL THE BERN!!

Yeah, that video pushes some memes that are unfair to Hillary.

If you support Bernie and Hillary gets the nomination, don't vote for her mindlessly. But don't refuse her your vote mindlessly.

In short, don't be mindless. Make your decision mindfully.
