KING: Stop blaming Hillary's struggles on Bernie, her problems are hers and hers alone

[kgnu_fan]

Hillary didn't drop out during the Democratic Primary against Obama. Even after the last state voted, she waited.

Either the Democratic Party has a terrible case of selective amnesia or they are just really gifted at revisionist history. For the life of me, I can't figure out which of those two best describes what I'm seeing right now.

As more and more calls come for Bernie Sanders to drop out of the race against Hillary Clinton, he keeps on winning state after state and poll after poll. In fact, Bernie, as of this writing, has won primaries and caucuses in 19 different states and appears to be very competitive in both Kentucky and Oregon, which have their say Tuesday.

Hillary Clinton did not drop out against Barack Obama until every single state voted. In fact, the final two states voted on June 3, 2008. She won South Dakota and Obama won Montana. She dropped out later that day, right?

Nah. The next day? Nope. She waited several days until June 7 to finally announce that she was suspending her campaign. Every vote had been counted, but she held on until a mix of public pressure and inevitability forced her hand.

1. She had more votes than Obama in 2008, so why...

should she have dropped out?

3. Clinton supporters are claiming she did drop out for the good of the party and want

Sanders to follow. Sanders is following because it was a lie that she dropped out.

"why should she have dropped out?" She shouldn't have, and didn't. Why quit in the 8th inning?

4. MATH, REALITY, DAMAGING THE PARTY!

Sound familiar? One of her reasons was the possibility of Obama being assassinated. Hey, were making progress, neither of our candidate's have mentioned the other one being assassinated this election!

2. let's not forget that she all but begged for someone to assassinate Obama

In a televised interview, she explicitly held out hope of winning on the basis that RFK was shot in June. Everyone remembers this, right?

Wonder how her partisans would react if Sanders made the same suggestion?

5. Nice opinion there.

When you have to insert intentions that were never stated it becomes not a fact but an opinion, a pretty despicable one by the way.

6. Let me guess, you never saw the infamous Couric-Clinton interview

It is as plain as day what her intentions were. It may qualify as the single most craven utterance ever to come out of the mouth of a candidate for President.

I presume that you also don't know who Thomas Becket was. Here, have an education: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Becket#Assassination

8. I saw it.

You had to insert "She all but begged for someone to assassinate Obama" to make your case for what her intentions were, that was an opinion, namely yours. As far as Thomas Becket, once again you rely on things that are not fact to make your case. "The king's exact words are in doubt and several versions have been reported." is what your link says. So, maybe you should have some education yourself.

9. Her intentions were perfectly clear when she was interviewed about the

bayonet raping to death of Qaddafi by the terrorists we supported during the destruction on the most advanced country in North Africa.
"We can, we saw, he died....giggle...giggle"

That was Hillary's character on display for the World.
IMO, this would compete for the winner of "most craven utterance ever to come out of the mouth of a candidate for President."

10. Thank you. Well said. The lengths that some will go on this web site to slime this woman

never cease to amaze.

7. 2008 was close. This is not. And in 2008 there were no death threats and violence.

11. And Sanders problems are his. No grand conspiracy.

I wish King stayed consistent. Nothing but a line of excuses and conspiracies but with Clinton it's just Clinton.
