Has Hillary 7.3 been shelved?

Just a few days ago we read that Team Hillary was in the midst of spontaneity rehearsals.

Now we read that she's going after "values" voters. Did I mishear? Or will she spontaneously court "values" voters? Or were the spontaneity scripts subpar?

I can't keep track of it all.

All those high-priced campaign people arguing amongst themselves as to who is the king of the Hill. Each trying to prove they are most worthy!

I feel their pain.

Meanwhile, Bernie's campaign knows from experience and from the history, that all they have to do is get the word out. No problems there.

I will sleep better tonight knowing everything is as it should be on DU...Bernie's camp is full of experienced professionals getting the word out while Camp Hillary remains full of evil little nerdy gnomes bent on destruction of the free world.

Thanks again. DU (or is it officially BU yet?) has come to give me that certainty of brand performance I expect with all my consumer products.

Bernie's campaign is on message, convincing ever more people to support Bernie as seen by his rising poll numbers, and has there even been one Sander's TV ad yet?

Meanwhile Hillary version 7.3 is still trying to work out the bugs as their numbers decline.

IOW, Bernie's camp knows how to Git 'er Done, and the Hillary camp is, well, looks like, over done.

84. The Superdelegate situation...
Mon Sep 14, 2015, 02:49 PM
Sep 2015

…was floated during the 2008 caucuses. When Obama began rising in the polls, a nice little meme was floated in the media--that it didn't matter if Obama won the primary because the Superdelegates had all ready pledged their support for Obama.

What a shitty tactic.

Hillary's way of taking her "inevitability" to a pathological level.

I don't think it was ever in question that the Superdelegates would follow the will of the people, but the Hillary campaign tried everything to demoralize voters into following her by suggesting that no matter what--she would win.

I will be anxious to see if they try this ploy again.

Authenticity isn't actually taking concrete positions on potentially controversial issues, demonstrating real leadership, or otherwise stating a clearly definable position which might alienate some segment of the voting public or, even worse, lobbyists.

No, nothing says authentic like that old time religion.
