It couldn't be more obvious Hillary Clinton is fighting a two front war (FOR THE HILLARY GROUP)





She is being attacked on the right by Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders on the left. Whether or not they are actively working in unison it does not matter. The result is the same! Cui bono? They both do.

We can not be discouraged. We can not be cowed. This is not the time to go wobbly!!!

There is no other explanation for it. They can't call themselves progressives, liberals or socialist with the actions they are taking.

Annoying but not significant.

After Hillary is finally acknowledged as the Democratic nominee, these Hillary Haters will be indistinguishable from Republican rightwing machine attack - arguably how Democrats perceive them right now!

The positive progressivism of Hillary Clinton will prevail - Trump the entertainer will be crushed.

The positive progressive is winning, while the negative progressive is not.

Come on, folks, we all know how the media plays it's games. They have to fill airtime and column space, but they're too lazy to do it right. They confuse quantity with quality, to their own detriment. So yes, expect to see A LOT of articles between now and the convention about the negativity. Just don't expect to see many that are actually accurate or relevant.

Heads held high and with smiles on our faces, we march forward with our historic candidate on her way to the White House!

Eschewing the "big crowd" strategy, (perhaps for clear contrast) talking to people in small arenas, in work spaces, even in a bowling alley--which was relentlessly made fun of. Rolling out her platform nice and easy, taking the high road, supporting other Democrats. Tireless. She's made a few mistakes, but damn it's been a thing of beauty to watch unfold.

I remember many comments about her being a "terrible campaigner"--in reference to 2008. None of that is in evidence here.
