Man are they getting desperate!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

Just saw Chelsea on the t.v. Flat out lying about Bernie and healthcare. All they got is flat out lies and one gun vote a decade ago. I just lost any respect I had for the Clintons.

[SoapBox]

1. OH I lost the respect long ago...

And then "little" Chelsea marries a Hedge Fund Manager.

That speaks volumes where her loyalties would be...the State of Wall Street.

[thereismore]

3. Now that Chelsea is part of the campaign, I can say this:

Clintons are literally in bed with hedge fund managers.

[mindwalker_i]

6. Ouch

However, it is factually correct.

[roguevalley]

20. apparently he's worse ... he owns the hedge fund

his dad and mom are both crooks.

[Bjornsdotter]

2. I saw that

Bernie supporters are very well informed and know a canard when they hear one.

On MSNBC (the show one now) they busted it as a flat out lie.

[floriduck]

4. Welcome to the party. No pun intended. nm

[Green Forest]

5. The Clintons are morally bankrupt. They and their lying minions need to be shown the door.

Just like in 2008, HOPE for CHANGE = YES WE CAN!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

7. Fuck yes we can. I want a revolution!

[Green Forest]

8. Without YES WE CAN, there is no revolution.

The journey begins with believing a revolution is possible.

[n2doc]

9. It's interesting to me

I used to give the "dynasty" talk a pass with the Clintons. Now it is very apparent that Chelsea is all in on a political career. I would guess the plan is, if her mom wins she runs for some safe district in CT or NY to build her resume before heading for bigger things after mom leaves office. Just like the Bushes. Not appealing to me at all.

[Green Forest]

10. Doubt it. Chelsea has little ambition for herself beyond lording it at CF and living a .0001% entitled life.

She's lousier at retail politics than her mother and has ZERO charisma. Her TV gig bombed because of her tortured attempts at relevance.

[truebluegreen]

11. What TV gig?

Never heard of it....which could indicate the problem.

15. "Chelsea Clinton Leaving Her Unbelievably Cushy Fake Job at NBC"

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/08/chelsea-clinton-leaving-her-fake-job-at-nbc.html

Kicking off the annual Labor Day Friday News Dump, Chelsea Clinton has announced, via People, that she will no longer pretend to be a reporter. The once (and future?) First Daughter has been a “special correspondent” for NBC News since 2011, when she was dubbed, following her debut, “one of the most boring people of her era.” For the occasional feel-good segment or interview with the CGI Geico gecko, Clinton earned a reported annual salary of $600,000, or approximately $26,724 for every minute she was on-air.

She switched to a month-by-month contract earlier this year, allegedly because of her pregnancy and her mother's impending run for president, not because she was being paid an insane amount of money to do almost nothing.

But she just doesn't have time to occasionally appear on TV for a few minutes anymore and is departing, amicably we're sure, “to continue focusing on my work at the Clinton Foundation and as Marc and I look forward to welcoming our first child,” Clinton told People...

A search for her recent work turns up “Oscar-Winning Actor Jeff Bridges Fights to End Childhood Hunger” and “Homework Diner Serves Up Education With a Side of Food” (a follow-up to the same story from last year), along with “Chelsea Clinton Pregnant: ‘Marc and I Are Very Excited,” “Chelsea Clinton: I’m Very Excited About First Child,” and “‘So Thrilled’: Chelsea Clinton Announces Pregnancy.”

[truebluegreen]

16. Indeed a Cushy Fake Job.

[Babel_17]

17. She might not enjoy the spotlight, now having nullified her immunity

Pretty sure the media referees will see her as being in a different class now.

[n2doc]

12. Then why is she out stumping for her mom?

I'm sure she has other things she could be doing, and if she needs to show support she could just show up at the end of a debate or to for hugs. I think there is more to it. I don't discount the bad performance, but since when has self-awareness ever been a characteristic of the lucky sperm (and egg) club?

[Green Forest]

14. All hands are on deck because the SS Clinton hit an iceBern on the way to the coronation.

You may be right, but after this fiasco, Chelsea is a joke without a punchline.

[Art_from_Ark]

24. "SS Clinton hit an IceBern"

[Duppers]

30. Indeedy.

SS Clinton has hit the iceBern.

[artislife]

34. I think we saw it in her attempt to start a meme the other night

She is not cut out for public speaking. (read that with emphasis in the completely wrong part of the sentence)

[ljm2002]

36. No ambition, really?

From last March:

http://www.buzzfeed.com/jasonwells/chelsea-clinton-absolutely-open-to-running-for-office#.gqk6PQOay

Chelsea Clinton “Absolutely” Open To Running For Office

Attending the unveiling of her mother’s long awaited “No Ceilings” report measuring the progress of women’s rights over the last 20 years, Clinton told Sky News that while she had no immediate political ambitions, that could change.

“Absolutely, I’d consider it one day,” she said of running for public office.

For the time being, though, Chelsea said she supported her local, state, and national representatives.

“But if that were to change, and if at the same time I were to think that other people could be better advocates…then I’d have to ask and answer that question,” she added.

13. A Desperate Attempt To Appeal To Young Voters

eom

[Betty Karlson]

23. Because young voters don't care about issues, right?

All those personality-based campaigns in the style honed and perfected in the 1990-ies, the ones that didn't attrackt young voters, that's just because our message wasn't "urban" enough, or not "cool" enough. It had nothing to do wih issues, right? Because young voters are happy to be ignored for four years right after they cast their votes.

[swilton]

18. Ain't no way to hide those liyin' eyes

[libdem4life]

19. I'm guessing her short political career just tanked...badly. Stilted, hesitant, didn't know

her lines well...especially the lying ones...and was truly cringeworthy. Send her back to make money, have babies and keep her husband.

[roguevalley]

21. she's the jeb bush in her family politically. chelsea!

[libdem4life]

29. I fear so...and ill-prepared for what she was thrust into.

[Betty Karlson]

22. Clinton cannot be trusted - ever again.

And that drives down any enthousiasm she still inspires.

Which makes her a huge risk in the GE.

Which is why even when you agree more with Clinton than with Sanders, if you care about strategic advantages in the GE, you should vote for Sanders in the primaries.

[Enthusiast]

26. That was already her weakness—trustworthiness. Who is making these decisions for her?

This was a huge mistake.

[Betty Karlson]

31. Polls, focus groups, and corporately sponsored advisors.

That's where her decisions are made for her.

[Enthusiast]

32. Well they screwed up.

Democrats overwhelmingly favor Medicare for All. And we know all the right wing half truths and lies about it already.

[Betty Karlson]

33. Of course they screwed up: have you seen what Third Way did to the country?

[Enthusiast]

35. I'm living the damage.

[Enthusiast]

25. "I just lost any respect I had for the Clintons." Me too.

Well, I didn't have much left anyway. Maybe a teeny bit. But, woosh! It's gone!
