1. Trump will probably start using it now. Once he turns his

attention to someone it will be rapid fire criticism.

2. For as much turmoil there is in the GOP, they do not want to run against Hillary in the GE.

3. "Lucy you got some 'splainin to do"

As they say - In politics, when you are explaining you are losing.

4. We should trust the Republicans' judgment on Presidential elections?

They haven't done that well since before 1992.

5. Anybody but Hillary

Kochs hate Hillary, & were set to defeat her in 2016 via their Teaparty. Kochs & Trump also hate each other, & when he entered the race Trump complicated their campaign game against Hillary by demolishing their preferred Repub contender.
Trump hates everyone, Hillary stays to the outside & Sanders jumps in the middle of Trumps game.
Wtf
I have no predictions on where this ends up.
But I'm sticking with the only sane person in the room.
Hillary is the only major player that's NOT calling for anharchy or revolutuon.
That batch is frightening.
Guess we all keep moving along to Nov

7. The article reads.....

"Sanders’ supporters are wrong to try to wave this attack away as a dumb distraction. (If this is irrelevant, then I never want to hear about Hillary Clinton having been a Goldwater Girl in 1964 ever again.) Because as a campaign tactic, it could have some salience in a general election. Not to convert undecided voters necessarily, though the number of moderates who barely pay attention to politics and could be swayed by such a sound bite is probably a lot higher than many partisans realize. But it could easily be used as a cheap scare to motivate conservative voters to get to the polls."

13. In this case we know damn well they want to run against bernie.. there's no getting around that.

We've seen evidence piling up.

So please don't come into our group to try and act like it's not true.

6. That is absolutely right, and it will make the swift boating of Kerry child's play. I can see the

commercials playing 24/7

and whether it is accurate or not will be irrelevant

17. Clinton Camp: GOP Attacks On Hillary Show They'd Rather Face Bernie In Fall

The GOP really wants to run against a weaker candidate http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-karl-rove-attack

The Hillary Clinton campaign on Tuesday said that recent attacks from conservatives show that Republicans are hoping Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) will win the Democratic nomination because they believe he would be easier to beat in the general election.

In a Tuesday evening statement, the Clinton campaign's communications director, Jennifer Palmieri, mentioned an ad from the Rove-aligned super PAC American Crossroads, which accused Clinton of being in Wall Street's pocket. Palmieri said the ad suggests that Republicans want to face Sanders in the general election.

"While Senator Sanders tries to make a case on electability based on meaningless polls, Republicans and their super PACs have made clear the candidate they’re actually afraid to face. The Sanders argument falls apart when the GOP spokesman is trying to help him and the Republicans run ads trying to stop Hillary Clinton in the primary," she said in the statement.

Karl Rove is running an attack ad against Clinton in the Iowa primary. Rove is doing this for one purpose which is to weaken the strongest candidate
