The groups where Sanders is starting to lead in Iowa are exactly what we must have in order to win in November.
I think this use of the gun issue is strategically stupid for the Clinton campaign ... this is not a winner for Democrats in November and why she is elevating to her number one anti-Sanders argument is perplexing.
And, why in the world has she decided to take the Repuglican side in the health care discussion? Her positioning on this is even worse for the perception that she is too political and too reactive.
This is what causes "wariness" about Mrs. Clinton.
But she can't change; she is what she is and if Democrats want to lose in November they can doggedly decide that her "credentials" are more important than vision.

(2,546 posts)In the degree of AUDACITY that she exhibits in MISREPRESENTING the positions of Bernie Sanders!
IF Clinton Inc. CANNOT win in a fair and above board manner, how does she expect people to willingly support her IF... IF she is the nominee?
America Does NOT need another Corporatist Democrat in the WH. Rather we need a man of the people who has demonstrated honesty and integrity for decades and continues to this minute speaking only TRUTH and FACT about his opponent.
The latest canard put forth by Clinton Inc. that somehow Bernie has violated his pledge to NOT go negative is the height of AUDACITY and Bloviating.
Bernie did not use some hired speaker with a deeeep voice and reverb to make the very obvious, evident and well known contrast between himself and Clinton Inc., that she takes BIG $$$$$ from Wall Street and then WE are supposed to accept that she will regulate them....
WE are not that gullible....

(16,064 posts)she is a vindictive ego maniac who cares about nothing but getting her hands on the power she feels is hers. She has done NOTHING for this country , everything she has done she has done for selfish reasons. It's painfully obvious that she is morally and ethically unfit for office.
