Good luck with that.

[TIME TO PANIC]

1. Damn, this is getting strange.

I guess she thinks she can appeal to disillusioned republicans.

[global1]

2. Sounds Like She's Pushing To Have Obama Endorse Bernie....nt

[TIME TO PANIC]

5. She won't get his endorsement, that's for sure.

Amazing!

[thesquanderer]

14. I don't think he'll endorse anyone in the primaries.

Of course, he'll endorse whoevere gets the nomination, though.

[TIME TO PANIC]

19. It will be interesting to see how he responds.

The Iran Deal is viewed as one of his main achievements, and he took a lot of shit from the right for it.

[thesquanderer]

43. HRC supported the Iran deal (nt)

[leveymg]

44. Her loyalty is to the Saudis and AIPAC not Obama.

That has been evident since 2011, which is why Obama fired Petraeus and graciously accepted Madam Secretary's resignation.

[840high]

15. Sounds like she's confused. What the

heck was she thinking?

[Snarkoleptic]

18. Scorpion stings frog, both drown, that's the nature of the relationship.

As we say in the midwest, "you is what you is".

[MisterP]

3. by doing the same stunts that made them disillusioned!

[Uncle Joe]

4. There are two primary pillars to Trump's popularity.

1. The angry misguided for the most part white voters that feel like the government has screwed them over, so government or establishment is the problem. Bernie is the best antidote to this type of misdirected anger, for he serves to enlighten them as to who the real culprits behind their misery are, the corruption of government by Wall Street and the string pulling plutocrats. This is why Bernie has generally stacked up better against Trump than Hillary.

2. I believe Hillary has now come to realize this and knowing that she has no chance of capturing them as they're firmly anti-establishment, is going after the second pillar of Trump supporters, the racists, xenophobes and "American Exceptionalist" believers, by talking shit about leveling sanctions against Iran the day after President Obama's major diplomatic victory.

Thanks for the thread, WillyT.

[zentrum]

13. ^True^

[Enthusiast]

30. How could she ever hope to win with such a strategy?

I think they are throwing the election. This country is sick of war and more war. Only the Republican establishment want more war.

[Uncle Joe]

38. Hillary knows that she can't run to the left of Bernie to any real effect.

Hillary also knows the Democratic grassroots plus most Independents are to the left of the Democratic Establishment.

I believe that Hillary believes that desperate times call for desperate measures in her quest for the White House, so she's willing to send Chelsea out to lie on her behalf, trash talk the Iranians the day after President Obama gets a great diplomatic victory.

Hillary has trashed Medicare for all, just because Bernie is proposing it.

With the exception of the gun issue and that's marginal because of her own wild swings, Hillary is tracking hard right.

Hillary knows that Bernie is kicking tail with the Independents and that Independents make up the largest segment of the electorate, she needs a slice of that pie so she's going for the right wing side of it.

I believe Bernie's ad about the "two visions of the Democratic Party" really struck a nerve, Hillary knows that she doesn't have the high moral ground to straight run for the primary nomination as a Democrat.

I do believe with Hillary it has always been more a brand than a heartfelt ideology anyway.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

6. Her support for Vietn,...I mean Iraq is why she lost the last time...

Maybe she pictures a repeat of 68 where the peaceniks are outside being beaten to a pulp by the cops.

[draa]

7. If Clinton's sanctions were in place today those 4 hostages would still be prisoners of Iran.

This should be repeated over and over. It can't be said enough.

[floriduck]

12. Some may not have been alive if Prez Hill

had gone off the deep end like that. But lives didn't matter in Iraq so why bother now?

[AzDar]

8. She's come undone. Maybe internal polling numbers are even more catastrophic for her

than once thought?

Whatever the reason, I have NEVER been more grateful for a candidate like Bernie...

[Capt.Rocky300]

22. Just like in the Guess Who song......

"She's Come Undone".

[FairWinds]

9. Yes, sanctions are in order . .

against the United States for its destabilizing and reckless
missiles and nuclear weapons.

As a vet, I find the jingoistic bombast and threats nauseating.

It took me a long time to get over my Pro-US chauvinism, but
once I did, I could never again be a spear carrier for the empire.

Actually, I wish Bernie were more of a peacenik too.

[newfie11]

39. Agreed!!!!!nt

[Bohunk68]

40. +1,000

As a vet myself, I echo what you just said.

[jalan48]

10. Hillary's campaign seems to be in disarray.

That's what happens when a politician continually changes positions on major issues. I don't think she really has a "core" she can go to. Bernie has been consistent over the years-he doesn't need to justify changed positions on the issues or do the political dance to get votes.

[Marie Marie]

11. What is she thinking???

Just when we seem to be making some progress in our dealings with them. Do we need to tread cautiously with Iran - of course we do but her timing on this just boggles the mind.

[Beartracks]

16. Shouldn't she be playing to the DEM base??

Single-payer: Bad.

Undermine Dem Prez and threaten Iran: Good.

indeed.

=======================

[restorefreedom]

17. this will make for interesting debate fodder. nt

[SoLeftIAmRight]

20. it is something so strange that I can not even find a way to think about it

like a clown at a funeral - shocking - unfathomable

[snagglepuss]

25. It's to show she stands with Israel.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

26. yes- i considered that but

does not help in the short term - in fact it hurts - she may be out in 6 weeks

ex presidents can get the daily briefs - something may have been pass from bill

[merrily]

36. A clown at a funeral unbelievable?

[Kall]

21. Your guess as to why is as good as mine

I always felt she was dishonest, but I thought she was at least more intelligent than this.

[dogman]

23. Could it be the release of 13 Hours?

Does she have to be tough and preempt the GOPs?

[MisterP]

31. ironically showing precisely the same kind of thinking that got us INTO Libya

[Indepatriot]

24. Maybe she's tired of being "the lesser" of Two Evils and now wants to be the Greater Of Two Evils..?

[Populist_Prole]

33. Y'know, maybe there's more truth to that than we really want to admit

Maybe all that technocratic focus group algorythm stuff has painted her into that corner now. I mean, by those metrics and in a very "by the numbers" way, they are going full-tilt center-right as a relexive way of opposing her challenger - And: having fully bought the notion made by the clueless pundits and talking heads that the US is a center-right nation.

It's what I would call this as not a freak crash, but a controlled flight into terrain: Fat, dumb and happy till the lights go out.

[Ino]

35. LOL! (nt)

[RiverLover]

41. Well, she IS ambitious! /nt

[closeupready]

27. I've come to actually welcome these bizarre developments,

as vindication of Bernie's challenge for the nomination. There is just no way she'd do this unless her internal polling indicated that Bernie's won. K&R

[fbc]

28. McCain had Palin, Clinton has screw universal healthcare and roll back Obama diplomacy

anything to get elected.

[silvershadow]

29. She doesn't care at this point where the votes come from. And looking at the Republican field,

she is certain to get a large swath of those voters, even without her neocon credentials. She could, in theory, win the Democratic primary with Republican votes- were it not for the fact that too many Republicans are fed up, too, and many are looking at Bernie. It may well be a wild ride. Hard to say yet.

[merrily]

37. Republicans hate her worse than they hate her husband.

[bigwillq]

32. The Clintons are awful.

They must be defeated.

[Gene Debs]

34. My fondest hope, my greatest dream for the future, is that

not only does Bernie Sanders win the nomination, but then that causes both Bill and Hillary Clinton just go the fuck away and fade into comfortable, albeit permanent, obscurity.

[Betty Karlson]

42. I stopped trusting her in 2015.

If she goes on like this, I may refuse to ever vote for her. She is starting to act like the equal of a great evil, rather than the lesser of two evils.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

45. She's my favorite republican candidate.
