Hillary Clinton's GE Campaign Strategy Revealed: "Be afraid, be very afraid."

There was a scenario, which looks more like a fantasy, in which Clinton was a movement. Women in their twenties, thirties, and forties would rally to her the way black Americans rallied to Obama; she would run on her own mantle of change.

In reality, nobody is that excited about Hillary Clinton, and young voters, women and men — the foot soldiers of any Democratic Party movement — aren’t coming around. She lost a resounding 82% of voters under 30 in Nevada. Her campaign now rests on the hope that voters of color like her well enough, if nowhere near as much as they like Obama. And that means that when she faces a Republican, she will have to destroy him — something the people who will be doing the destroying acknowledged when I asked them earlier this month.

“The slogan is ‘Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid,’” said Paul Begala, who is an adviser to the pro-Clinton super PAC Priorities USA.

2. A catastrophe in the making

9. That could take decades to fix.

It could kill the party.
Although in its current state that might be a good thing.

"It will all be free, if you vote for me!"

5. That's crap

[bunnies]

12. It's not "free"

He pays for his healthcare plan with an increase in the payroll tax.

He pays for the college tuition by taxing Wall Street speculators.

It's time to make the billionaires, millionaires and the corporations pay their fair share. And Sanders is earmarking that money for programs that will help the middle class.

You know--things that Democrats used to all fight for, in unison?

Jesus! The Hillary half of our party has gone totally outer limits.

[Kang Colby]

14. Ugh huh...

Wall Street speculators like middle class 401k plans?

I'm sure he will encourage job growth by raising payroll taxes.

Sanders rails about corporate offshoring...what is his plan to bring back jobs? Raise taxes through the roof! LOL..it makes no sense and is extremely absurd. I believe Sanders' policies if implemented would allow us all to have 52 weeks off per year....once he bankrupts U.S. companies across the board.

10. I am afraid!

That's why I'm voting for Bernie.

11. Enjoy a President Trump..

I'll be in Canada while Trump puts in 2 to 3 Scalias.

[CoffeeCat]

13. Scalias??? We'll be begging for a Scalia-like SCOTUS appointment

with Trump!

He'll probably nominate the CEO of one of his casinos and some bimbo that he banged in the 1980's who is still blackmailing him.

The man is crazy.
