1. Keep digging. I'm sure you'll find that pony!

'Cause nothing says "brilliant" like saying something that makes voters wonder whether you're losing your marbles or just a shameless liar.

[Wilms]

2. That, and her praising the AIDS response.

But I do agree.

Add that to the list including Kissinger.

[immoderate]

3. When does the light come on?

--imm

[Fumesucker]

4. When you open the door, silly

Unless of course you are one of those who thinks the light stays on all the time and we know how ~they~ are.

[Lizzie Poppet]

5. "Brilliant" to have to walk back (yet another) clumsy, transparent lie?

Yeah, that's just fuckin' brilliant.

[leftofcool]

7. You might want to ask Ron Reagan Jr about that "transparent lie"

[leftofcool]

6. Yep and what she said is not entirely accurate.

Since the GOP contenders seem to want to run on Reagan's record, it is only fair Reagan's record be brought to light in all of its non glory.

[NurseJackie]

8. Oh, now you've done it!

This will just piss off the Hillary-haters even MORE! (But, hey, at least they've forgotten about those damn transcripts. Whew!)

[Cavallo]

25. The laughing is seriously hurting her campaign and it does nothing for your cause either.

I'll remember never to use it by how it comes off. Thanks for showing me.

[NurseJackie]

32. I'm "seriously hurting her campaign" ... little ol' me? HA! :-P

[Cavallo]

34. No. You're hurting your integrity.

Please continue.

[tonedevil]

38. what does not exist...

can not be hurt.

[Cavallo]

47. I think you've nailed it.

Much better board without that.

[NurseJackie]

40. I do not care what anonymous posters think of me. You may continue as well.

This is fun!

[Cavallo]

46. I'm just putting you on the ignore list.

No substance and thread hijacks. Got it. Good bye.

[NurseJackie]

52. I guess I'm just too much for ya, huh? :-P

[TSIAS]

35. I used to like the Golden Girls

Now whenever I think of them I'm just reminded of the snark from this website.

[libtodeath]

69. You find this funny?

Millions of people have died horrible deaths largely at the hands of the rayguns and it is a joke to someone that presumes to be a nurse from your name here?

[Autumn]

9. Yes it was really brilliant. So brilliant I'm going to rec your thread.

All need to see this shining beacon.

[Fumesucker]

10. K&R for sheer creativity

Bless your everlovin' heart.

[Autumn]

19. It's downright Hillaryesque.

Very impressive.

[Cavallo]

27. It's a another outright lie. And it's so... cold.

[NWCorona]

28. This!

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. Weak sauce

It's just more evidence that Hillary is terrible at the campaigning part of politics.

How you step in it like this before the Florida and Illinois primaries is anyone's guess. She likely lost both those states with this nonsense.

The problem, of course, is that Sanders is deeply unqualified with more than a little of the demagogue about him, so we really are in a pickle now.

One thing's for sure: we won't have a President as good as Obama for the foreseeable future.

[Warren Stupidity]

12. Or a massive fuck up. NT.

[BillZBubb]

13. Good God! You'll friggin' try to spin anything! Have you no shame at all?

Hillary screwed up. She told one lie too many. Deal with it.

The focus isn't on Reagan's record. We all know that. The focus is on Hillary's inability to get the truth out of her mouth.

[rhett o rick]

14. Granted there will be more focus on the Reagan's record but she tied herself to them

by praising them for their actions. She has always been a big fan of Reagan, which I think is very scary.

[longship]

17. Praising them for their INactions.

There. Fixed now.

[TM99]

15. You have no shame.

None, zilch, zip, nadda, and it is truly sad and cringe-worthy.

Hillary lied. She got caught and offered the politician's standard non-apology 'misspoke' line.

No she did not make Reagan's record the focus, she made herself and the eve growing list of blatant lies the focus.

[Vinca]

16. You must be kidding.

I figured she must be pandering to Reagan lovers in hopes of getting some GOP votes. The remark was completely wrong and totally revolting. I don't know how people can support her.

[insta8er]

18. Clinton retracts praise for Reagans' HIV/AIDS legacy

http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-dem-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/03/hillary-clinton-praises-reagans-hiv-aids-response-220643

[azurnoir]

20. some of us actually remember the 80's and Reagan's ummm 'action' on the AID;s epidemic

but if you need clarification there's an HBO movie called 'The Normal Heart' that'll fill you in on Reagan's 'action' during the 1980's where aids was concerned

[Arazi]

21. LOL!!!! Yeah, that's what she was doing

SMDamnH

Bitter laughter

[TheFarS1de]

22. My hamster would love this level of spin

[Cali_Democrat]

24. That is a very cute video!

[morningfog]

23. FFS, maybe your best work yet.

[Bjorn Against]

26. Yes, this is absolutely brilliant! There is no way that Reagan can win the election now!

Oh wait, I forgot that Reagan is not running.

I guess this might help Hillary win the "uninformed and proud of it" vote though.

[TSIAS]

29. I remember last Sunday

I believe you said that Reagan's expiration would kill any momentum Sanders had from Maine. Well, of course there was that epic upset two days later in Michigan.

I'll give you credit for turning anything into an anti-Clinton or pro-Hillary talking point.

[Cali_Democrat]

33. and I was right

Hillary actually increased her pledged delegate lead by 24 after the Tuesday results.

[TSIAS]

37. Did you think Clinton would blow a double-digit lead in MI?

After doing so awful at the debate, and with Nancy Reagan buying it, you would have thought Hillary would have done better than expected in Michigan. The results in MS were on par with how the primary had been playing out and wasn't a surprise.

[Cali_Democrat]

43. The polls were obviously off

So I don't think she ever had the lead in Michigan. The turnout models sucked and the data was bad. Garbage in, garbage out.

I thought she would win by about 5 points in Michigan, but she lost by 1.5 points.

However, I didn't think she would win in Mississippi by as much as she did so it more than offset her Michigan loss.

I thought she would net about 25 delegates on Tuesday, but she net 24.

Not too shabby.

[winter is coming]

30. Reccing, because this train wreck of an OP belongs on the Greatest Page. n/t

[shawn703]

31. Oh my

You put pulsars to shame with the amount of spin you just used.

[Ichingcarpenter]

36. I think I'm gonna vomit

on this delusion of spin

[JackRiddler]

39. You can't help yourself, can you?

I mean, you could just let this epically stupid and entirely self-inflicted damage blow over. You're just a writer on a message board, there's no need for you to have a position on it. The news cycle will take care of it, right? There's absolutely nothing to be won by dwelling on it.

But nooooooo... it's almost like Stalinism, with only the reassuring parts, none of the fear or pressure or pain. Onl the harmony of broup think! But also the creativity that each cog gets to express, as you autonomously come up with awesome whopper explanations for why Comrade HRC raised the chocolate ration and has always raised the chocolate ration.

[laruemtt]

41. Aw, c'mon, guys. She said she "misspoke" -

[m-lekktor]

44. Yeah, I often say "AIDS" when i mean to say "Stem Cell Research" all the time! nt

[winter is coming]

51. And the best part: the Reagans didn't start a national conversation on stem cell research, either.

It's true that Nancy supported it at a time when few Republicans did, but she did not start the conversation.

[JackRiddler]

42. They were a kind of stroke, though.

[HooptieWagon]

45. Gonna rec this trainwreck...

...so the OP gets more visibility. Everybody needs to see the desperation of the Hillarians.

[Cavallo]

56. Yes. Defending Regan.

Priceless.

[SheenaR]

48. This is the worst interpretation of a situation I have ever seen on here

Especially insulting to those who have a family member who have died from the disease like my fiance.

[nadinbrzezinski]

49. Why she now has said she ahem "mispoke"

not kind of hang to convictions huh?

[Cavallo]

53. Did she backtrack on this?

I think she knew better all along and it as a calculating slam to gays. She's so proud of what Nancy and Ronald did - which was absolutely nothing for years.

[nadinbrzezinski]

57. Yes, in a very clintonian way

[Cavallo]

62. Thanks for posting it!

Informative.

[nadinbrzezinski]

64. Their twitter feed is where it is

[EndElectoral]

50. Hill- lair- ious

[gcomeau]

54. Uh-huh... that's what she was trying to do.

[CoffeeCat]

55. That's a very bizarre analysis

I don't think anyone, including HRC really cares that much about what people are saying about the Reagans.

It's a stretch. And a very odd one.

[Attorney in Texas]

58. Hillary "brilliantly" drew focus on Reagan's appalling AIDS record by spinning it as a great record?

[revbones]

59. I'm sure that was her intent all along right?

Edited to add: If she was truly trying some 13 dimensional chess like that, then why not come out now and speak the truth about the Reagans rather than just say she "misspoke"?

[Go Vols]

60. lol

[Broward]

61. There is just now way you could possibly believe this.

It does make one wonder just what your motives are here.

[Bluenorthwest]

63. Your comment has all the grace and depth of thought I have come to expect of you and of

the Hillary attendees here on DU. She attempted to revise Reagan history. She succeeded in demonstrating her own lack of actual connection to LGBT issues then or now. Beyond tone deaf and into the simply calloused. Much like your OP.
Your candidate is certainly the right choice for you. And how.

[MerryBlooms]

65. No.

There's no political gain from her comments.
No excuse for her comments. None.

She basically spit in the face of every soul lost during those horrific Reagan denial years, and their loved ones. This isn't just a little faux pas today, this awful statement will stick to her like chewing gum to the cat. Deservedly so.

[Go Vols]

66. Shes evolved since this morning

and took back what she said.Pretty good stuff.

[Segami]

67. Bwhahahahaha.

B--R--I--L--L--I--A--N--T--............OK...lol!!

[libtodeath]

68. You have to be kidding.

What an offensive op.

[zappaman]

70. Sorry, but it was a fuck up.

She admits it and has apologized.

[Cali_Democrat]

71. I think this thread has run its course. nt
