2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Is this How Hillary pays back a good turn?: [View all]Smarmie Doofus
(14,498 posts)... between themselves and their opponents, what the heck is the point?
I cannot STAND Clinton. Repeat: Cannot *stand* her. Cannot stand *her*; cannot stand her * politics*.
If Sanders said... or implied.... that he wouldn't compare his own record favorably relative to Clinton's ( which I can't believe)... than that was a DUMB thing to say. And he should retract it.
So far... I don't think anything that's come out Clinton's mouth in terms of negativity.... has been over the top. The bullshit about "shouting" is typical of her and her crew: cynical, dishonest, manipulative. But par for the course for her... and really not that "bad" as primary norms go.
Point is: Clinton's got nothing of substance or consequence to say about virtually anything. "Vote for me; I'm a woman." is pretty much it.
Sanders, OTOH... is LOADED. But Sanders has TO MAKE HIS CASE. The case THAT HE IS SUPERIOR TO CLINTON.
This is not a hard case to make. ( To put it mildly.) But the point is: no one else is going to do it.
