Hillary keeps a Hit List of friends and enemies....And uses it to punish people who step out of line

[Cheese Sandwich]

Keeping lists of people is just good organizing and good politics. Everybody knows that. But if Hillary uses her list to punish political enemies it could help explain why she has most of the super delegates wrapped up.

1. That bloviator Rendell was just on Hardball

screeching that he's a superdelegate and Bernie doesn't have a clear path to the nomination blah blah and how she'll still have more of the popular vote and he's voting for her come convention time.

He lost me permanently after Selection 2000 when he told Gore to sit down and shut up and take his lumps.

They have their lists and unfortunately it gives them some clout amongst the other sellouts in the party.

17. its all nixonian and that is the biggest reason I won't vote for her. I'm sick of sociopathic hatred

2. You do realize, don't you, that the book is very complimentary to Clinton?

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/23/books/review/hrc-by-jonathan-allen-and-amie-parnes.html

Though she appeared to glide above domestic politics at the State Department, she always kept one eye on the field, even following a dinner with Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace with a phone call to a New York politician who had just won a tough race for Congress. She did not spill the beans to her husband about the planned raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound; the former president found out about it from a late-night call from President Obama (“Hillary probably told you,” the president said to a clueless Bill Clinton).

4. I did not know that. The Hit List part seems cool.

[athena]

5. Cherry-picking, eh?

[Cheese Sandwich]

6. Hillary's hit list...

This is a huge topic on the internet.

Her organization is keeping lists of people. Keeping track of people.

[athena]

7. Bernie supporters are huge on the internet.

Most people don't have much time for the internet. Just because Bernie supporters post and re-post the same thing doesn't mean the majority of the population cares.

ETA: I'm sure LBJ kept track of people. It's a good thing for a politician to do. That's how you get things done.

[Cheese Sandwich]

8. Don't you care that the Clinton organization keeps detailed files on people

Like an enemies list?

[athena]

9. Frankly, I don't.

She's a politician. We don't need a saint; we need someone who can get Congress to vote her way. LBJ was one of the best liberal presidents in history, and I am certain he kept careful records of who did what, who said what, who voted which way, etc.

10. What if it's an excel spreadsheet?

[athena]

13. So?

I keep lots of things in spreadsheets. (Not excel, but LibreOffice.) My finances, my expenses, my running log, my to-do list, the names of the plants in my garden (and the dates they were planted) ....

If I were a politician, it might be a good idea to keep this sort of information in some sort of searchable file. Why not a spreadsheet? What's your point?

[Wilms]

11. Congressional Republicans are looking forward to working with Hillary.

Really. It's true.

[athena]

14. That's why the Republican party is hoping for a Sanders win.

Right.

[Wilms]

15. Problem with that notion are the number of them voting for Sanders.

Teeth-gnashing about open primaries aside...

She'll get repukes to go along with cutting SS, trade deals, maybe a war or two. What else??

[Avalon Sparks]

19. She'll probably get Privatization of Social Security Passed too

If she raises the age, I guess that's Karma on the College Educated Boomers and Gen-Xers - the majority (in both parties) that are exhibiting major "I got Mine, Screw You" perspective as the young people in this country express outrage at the cost of college education.

Boomer's be like - "Pick another Major, fool"

3. oh come on

whats she going to do, put them on the rack?

[NCTraveler]

12. K&R. Damn straight. Nt

[Sheepshank]

16. I wonder what she plans on doing to Obama since he stole her election away?

You what else is going around the web, man eating spiders, antivaxers authoritative studies and ancient alien theories.

18. Ah the Clinton Hit List again

What's next, Vince Foster? The Mena Airport? DU is so delightfully retro these days.

[Codeine]

21. I'm sorry. I meant to go to DemocraticUnderground and somehow

ended up a mid-90s Rush Limbaugh fansite.

[jfern]

22. Yup, it scares most Democrats into endorsing her

And keeps very many from endorsing Bernie. I think it lost its power in Minnesota, though. Bernie just his 3rd endorsement from someone in congress there.
