The Roots...

Anecdotal from L.A.. I'm married to a teacher and recently attended a dinner party with a bunch of teachers. Most of the teachers were female and nearly all of them were Clinton supporters....were. Now, virtually all of them are Bernie supporters. The Truth is very attractive platform to run on. especially when you have the voting record to back it up.

Did I mis the "magical" part in the OP? cause I sure don't think that was in there...

If you can't respect where this person is coming from I don't know what to say. No "Magical" solutions were mentioned. Only disgust with the system and the choices that system gives us. Please don't discount the heartfelt OP with such a trivial dismissal of their hard-earned observations about their own life. We expect better from you Nance.

I know WHY they did it. I don't understand how they can so badly handle a simple endorsement.

This takes what should have been a day's worth of "good news" for HRC and turns it into a week of bad press. Team Clinton ain't much of a team...

Very badly handled by Team Clinton.

They run a very sloppy ship. This could have been handled easily and without controversy if they just followed the stated schedule of events. Feel The Bern indeed....

It does smack of "weakness" to me as well. At best badly ham-handed.

Illustrates what I mean when I say HRC is a LOUSY "candidate". This was not handled well by Team Clinton and now it's biting them in the ass.

In all fairness ALMOST a third describe her as trustworthy!!!

Seriously- this is at the core of why I feel HRC to be the LEAST capable in the G.E. The fact that she's been in the public eye means serious amounts of baggage. Some of that baggage is RWnutjob nonsense. Some of it is not. The Bosnian Sniper Story is to me a MAJOR reason I have honesty issues with HRC. People want to trust the candidate they're voting for and Hillary has given us reason not to have faith in her ability to tell us the truth. Big Problem. Big Problem. I know everybody embellishes a story now and then. Not everybody is running for President. Not everyone "embellishes" the story to include military action that did not occur. She told a lie several times and got a lil' short when a reporter asked her about it. CBS then did a story on it and it turns out they were with her on the trip she lied about. To double-down on the Tale Of Tuzla when you went there WITH the media suggests HRC is either unaware of the existence of videotape or that she thought she could just bullshit her way through the incident. Either way it makes her unsupportable to me and I'm sure there are more voters who feel the same way. Policy differences aside this lack of HONESTY deeply disturbs me about HRC's ability to be a good POTUS.

Decisions coming home to roost...

On the other hand it's one poll 6 months out from voting. A couple of Oprah visits and she'll pick up a few positive points...speaking of which has Senator Sanders done the Oprah thing?

MILLIONs of dollars will be spent airing the attack ads made from this one.

This goes straight to the core of "do you trust candidate X?"......no way we don't see this hundreds of times if she's the nominee. No bueno.
