In reply to the discussion: HRC's "baggage" spurs re-think of Democratic nominee [View all]George II
(67,782 posts)7. Of all the candidates that are running this and next year - Democratic, republican, or independent..
....the one that would be able to handle and throttle false claims of "baggage" would be Hillary Clinton. She's been doing it since the 1980s.
From the phony Whitewater "scandal", to the Rose Law firm false accusations, to the slanderous "hints" about Vince Foster (which reared it's ugly head here on DU the last day or two), and most recently the digging into her health history. She fends them all off, each and every time coming out stronger more resolute.
So, bring on the "baggage" folks - the only real baggage she has will be delivered to the White House on January 20, 2017, and all the other candidates will be sent packing!

she's the Lac-Megantic of baggage trains: even without her record, why push for her as nominee?

Do I recall correctly that you called Bernie supporters "dumb as a brick..."

You really don't understand the "baggage" issue. Talk about political naivete.

You can stand with the party if you want to, but there is no evidence here that any Democrats . . .
