How is that a good thing? There are posters here on DU acting like they adore her who in 2008 spent hours posting about her dishonesty, her racism, her greed. Endless threads denigrating and criticizing her. But now all that is forgotten as they endlessly denigrate Bernie Sanders with that same tired, worn out set of attacks.
I don't buy into that routine, and it is a routine.

But that's not all of her supporters, she also has supporters who supported her in 2008 by saying about Barack Obama the exact same things they now say about Bernie Sanders. Plenty of links for those folks too, if you'd like.

There are one or two people here who are for her now and for her then who never trashed the President or Sanders. A handful. The rest either used to hate her or used to hate Barack.
How is that a good thing?

They certainly have a point about the momentum Recursion Feb 2016 #19
