2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhen the HRC supporters accuse BS supporters of using right wing tactics
when we ask her to release her paid speeches to some of the largest financial institutions in this country or DARE to mention that she's literally under an FBI investigation.
Then they spend an entire day on the internet throwing some of the most VILE attacks I've seen this campaign cycle at Bernie Sanders for having the audacity to fly to the Vatican on request and meet with the Pope. I even heard he POSTED A QUOTE from the Pope on his Facebook page! Is he insinuating that the Pope endorsed him!?!?
Oh wait, he's been posting pictures with quotes from the Pope literally since the day he announced his candidacy. He loves the guy and they see eye to eye on some of their most important principles.
These are literally the same type of attacks I read in the comment sections on Tea Party Facebook pages.
Absolutely despicable.

(1,507 posts)she has miscalculated on that issue. That being said, there have been plenty of old right wing fairy tales resurrected here in recent months from Bill Clinton having teenage boys murdered because they happened upon his cocaine distribution operation in Mena, to Vince Foster and Rose Law, they have all been used as bludgeons.

CorkySt.Clair
(1,507 posts)From that lens it doesn't make a lot of sense to hold on to them. And her reasoning is I think fairly thin. My guess is that her advisors are probably overreacting a little bit. That's based on the characterizations I've read of some who have attended the speeches. They probably also feel like if they are released her detractors will simply move the goalposts. On that point they are correct.
