I don't think it was a fluke that Bill Clinton called Bernie Sanders 'hermetically sealed'

[merbex]

The Clinton Campaign must have looked, and looked, and looked, and looked, and looked, and looked, and looked, and looked,and looked,

and they CANNOT find his Achilles heel.

Folks, take it from Bill Clinton:

We have a good candidate, pushing a good message, with no visible Achilles heel.

We should vote for him.

Because if he is frustrating the Clintons?

He will tie the GOP candidate up in knots.

Happy NH Primary Day!

[asuhornets]

1. This is a Presidential race and the....

The best is yet to come...

[Bohemianwriter]

21. As long as people stop voting for candidates...

who takes money from corporations...

[asuhornets]

40. Such a mute point...n/t

[Android3.14]

43. moot

Clinton is mute when it comes to the transcripts of her speeches to the corporate elite.

[Bohemianwriter]

46. Really?

How so?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027593431

[bravenak]

51. I wish!

Mute is my thing.

[cui bono]

55. Oh, that explains why you always get yourself on timeouts.

.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

23. The Clintons have someone else to run?

[TheBlackAdder]

49. I get the impression: Voters no longer give a shit what Bill Clinton or MSM Pundits say anymore!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

50. I know. They've done segments on that.

[NCTraveler]

2. I don't think you know what hermetically sealed means.

Sealed air tight. It's beyond obvious he is saying Sanders is in a bubble.

[merbex]

4. I don't think you know Greek mythology n/t

[NCTraveler]

11. Pretty familiar with a lot of Greek mythology though not an expert.

I'm sure you meet the qualification for expert in that field. I find that often on du.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

28. We find a lot more experts in snide remarks.

I'm one.

[NCTraveler]

30. +1 nt.

[Fumesucker]

5. Remarkably Rovian tactic

Neither Bill nor Hillary has driven a car this millennium...

Who is in the bubble again?

[Kip Humphrey]

6. Sanders' bubble is YUUUUGE and crowded (the 99% lives there).

[NCTraveler]

9. Highly inaccurate statement.

Today we have a hedge fund manager worth over a billion dollars praising Sanders.

The other part that is a blatant falsehood is simply too blatant to waste any time on.

[Kip Humphrey]

12. No worries... cognitive dissidence has a cure: vote Bernie Sanders in 2016.

WIN, Bernie, WIN!

He will pop your bubble!



peace.

[roguevalley]

19. having a hedge fund manager praise you is certainly less damning given Bernie could

care less about them than having one for a son-in-law like you know who

[Dustlawyer]

33. That's because Bill and Hillary, with their long years of fund raising, elbow rubbing, and quid pro

quo's have become cynical. They stopped daring to dream that big things can be done, that is why they support "incremental changes" over fixing the problems outright. They accuse Bernie of being in a bubble because he thinks he can solve the major problems facing this country.

The American revolution would not have happened with either of these two as a founding father/mother. The founding fathers took on the biggest military might of their time with a rag tag bunch of colonists, facing death if they were caught, but they dreamed big and the United States of America is here because of it! If John Kennedy had not challenged us to reach for the moon, we would be admiring what the Soviet Union did in space.

Sometimes there is a need for bold action, this is one of those times. Climate Change will not be addressed in any substantive way with Hillary and her financial backers in charge, and a Congress still populated in large part, by bought off politicians paid to deny reality.

We will never throw off the yoke of corporate rule that we have allowed ourselves to fall under without someone like Bernie showing us the way!

[NCTraveler]

31. Why do you think my bubble needs to be popped? Why so personal? nt.

[SoapBox]

41. Who?

But there is Chelsea Clinton, married to a Wall Street Hedge Fund Manager...shilling with flat out lies against Bernie, all for Hillary.

So again, who is this 1 billionaire that supports Bernie?

[Donald Ian Rankin]

34. Including the majority of them who support Hillary or the Republicans?

I'm sure you feel that the 99% *should* support Sanders, but it's dishonest to pretend that it's not the case that most of them actually don't.

[gyroscope]

16. Hermetically sealed from the corrupting influence of big money

and his congressional peers virtually all of whom are on the take? That would be a compliment.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

56. Great post

you get a heart

[NCTraveler]

18. I will go out on a limb and say the people taking issue with this.....

are the exact same people who were confused by Clintons logo.

[NurseJackie]

24. Those are *BOTH* excellent observations!

It helps to explain quite a lot.

[sus453]

38. Is it because the arrow

on the H points to the right?

[SoapBox]

39. Well...no confusion on that logo...

Always moving to the Right of the spectrum.

No thanks.

[GoneOffShore]

47. I was never confused by her logo.

The arrow points to the right which is where she's trying to take the Democratic party.

[rhett o rick]

54. Not confused. The Red Arrow points to the Right. Can't be any more obvious than that. nm

[passiveporcupine]

25. That was probably his point

but those of us who know Sanders can put it in a different context. He is hermetically sealed from corporate and financial influence. Money never got in the way of his passion for helping the people. Power never got in the way.

He's isolated from evil, greed and corruption, not from reality.

Most people are not strong enough to live in that world and not be influenced by it.

Actually, after reading this in another thread, I'm thinking his comment was not about Bernie living in a bubble, isolated from reality. I think this IS what was meant...

As Brock told Politico, “Senator Sanders is trying to live in the purity bubble, and it needs to be burst.

[Gregorian]

59. Excellent point.

It was really a compliment. I'm really enjoying all of the ideas and thoughts on this election cycle. Thanks!

[raindaddy]

27. Like the multimillionaire dollar Clinton's aren't living in a bubble..

Will Chelsea be paying student loans until she's well into her 30's.. Did Bill's job get sent overseas so his employer could take advantage of slave wages.. Is Bill still financially hurting because the deregulated bank buddies crashed the economy?

Bill got some balls thinking he and his wife are going to drag out the same campaign they ran against Obama in 2008 in 2016..
3rd way politics is in it's death rattle stage and Clinton style politics are past stale.

[NCTraveler]

29. You seem to just have debated with yourself....

to a point I never made. Love it.

[raindaddy]

36. Who said I was "debating" anyone?

You pointed out that Clinton was claiming Sanders was living in a bubble and I simply pointed out that he was a hypocrite and gave reasons...

[dogman]

3. Did he steal Christie's line?

Couldn't call him boy in a bubble.

[merbex]

8. I think it was phrase used in frustration because they cannot find Bernie Sanders' achilles heel so

Bill Clinton used different parameters to say the same thing.

Because if they found it: they are going after his authenticity, his honesty, his integrity, to drive UP his negatives.

They have nothing.

So they re-phrased it to make appear like a weakness,

She should be so lucky to appear so transparent.

[Deny and Shred]

26. You definitely stole Paul Simon's line - Boy in a Bubble

... the way we look to a distant constellation lying in the corner of the sky , these are the days of miracle and wonder ...

[Godhumor]

7. He has a very obvious Achilles heel, actually. It involves demographics n/t

[merbex]

10. Touche, but not in a personal sense which is what I think Clinton meant n/t

[Schema Thing]

13. It means "damn him and his hoity toity functioning zippers".

[Myrina]

14. It reeks of jealousy ...

"Oooh, you're so squeaky clean, you're hermetically sealed!"

When you don't have any mud to drag anyone through, attack them for being clean instead of either saying something decent, or not fucking saying anything at all.

Desperate, childish move, Mr. Big Dog.

[merbex]

15. Yes, that's what I thought: just jealous and so they decided to give a

$10 name to it:'hermetically sealed'.

Rather than the .02 cent school yard taunt~ goody, goody! Said with a sneer.

[Bangbangdem]

17. Here we go.

[Geronimoe]

20. Message from the establishment

No, we can not have healthy organic food.

No, we can not have clean air or water.

No, we can not provide education to all.

No, we can not have affordable healthcare for all.

No, we can not have a livable wage.

No, we can not have a 35 hour work week like Canada or Europe.

No, we can not have a pension to retire in dignity.

No, we can not address Global Warming.

No, we can not address the epic deforestation and massive die off of all species.

No, we can not have a fair justice system.

No, we can not have a political system that doesn't take bribes.

[bbmykel]

22. Bill has no idea...

...what to make of someone with integrity.

It's been so long since he's seen any!

[unc70]

32. Not affected by outside influence or power

Ok. Definition. Not a bad thing to be called.

[Cal33]

35. Bernie Sanders is the male counterpart of Elizabeth Warren. Both have in abundance these rarest

of qualities: honesty, sincerity and integrity. They both are really working for the American people.

[jmowreader]

45. Oh, please.

http://www.politifact.com/personalities/bernie-s/statements/

Bernie is a politician. Politicians ALL lie.

[SoapBox]

37. The Clintons have really taken to name calling.

Always the nasty, negative, dirty politics low road for the Clintons.

It makes me want to work even harder for Bernie.

No...More...Clintons.

[mhatrw]

42. Yes. He is "hermetically sealed" from corruption.

And for the Clintons, Sanders must seem as if he came from another planet.

Sanders does not play the "pay to play" game, and that's the only game they have ever known. To the Clintons, pay to play is politics and politics is pay to play.

[jmowreader]

44. Bernie has three.

Achilles Heel 1: candidates who promise to raise people's taxes get their heads handed to them in November.

Achilles Heel 2: his platform has exactly one plank.

Achilles Heel 3: his base consists largely of every troll on the Internet.

[noiretextatique]

57. And he just trounced Clinton in NH eom

[jmowreader]

58. He was also expected to trounce Clinton in NH

Hit 538.com...99 percent chance Sanders was going to take NH, and the polls showed him with a 20-point lead.

Wait till March 1. You guys WILL know what hit you...it'll be a freight train with an H on the nose. Except for Vermont, Sanders is out of friendly territory.

[GoneOffShore]

48. Bill and Hilary have been in an hermetically sealed bubble since they got into politics.

[PeoViejo]

52. This coming from a guy who can't keep his Dick in his pants...

Being an honest guy is troubling. No way to Blackmail them.

[MisterP]

53. is he accusing him of being alchemical?
