Let's give Hillary credit during this primary - her surrogates have desperately tried to find something, ANY thing from Bernie's past with which to attack him. Even with their world class experience at spinning, twisting and distorting history, as in "It depends on what the meaning of 'is' is" (which they must needs do to defend Hillary and Bill from charges re: their decades of self-serving and greed), their charges re Bernie have been laughed off as weak sauce indeed.
Poor Hillary, justifies her bid for the presidency on the basis of her experience and actions, including while she was First Lady in Little Rock and then DC - then unsuccessfully tries to neutralize criticisms of same by saying that's all so long ago it should be ignored.
Mrs. Clinton wants voters to ignore her time on the Wal-Mart Board, her aggressive pro-bono defense of a man she believed guilty of raping a 12 year old, her decades old but ever-enlarging-over-the-years-revenge/enemies list, her shameful and anti-feminist trashing of Bill's seduction victims (she called them narcissitic - Wow! pot, meet kettle!), her pro-cluster bomb vote while a Senator, not to mention her most recent decade of racist campaign attacks against Obama, dodging sniper fire in Bosnia and hoovering up millions from and trading donations to the Clinton Family Fund, oops!, I mean Foundation, in exchange for sweet deal contracts via the State Department and pro-corporate-let's-exploit-the-natives-for-slave-labor-wages-development-projects by the Clinton Foundation (Haiti being one of the most nauseating examples).
For us older citizens/voters, all that ugly, tawdry, self-serving Clinton Samsonite luggage IS old, but we remember it, and that's why we support Bernie, not Hill. Like Samsonite, the Clinton luggage is indestructible. And in this campaign, everything old is new again, as the saying goes. Meanwhile, we have a huge generation of millennials/new voters since 2008, who were in diapers during those early Clinton years, BUT have the benefit of the massive network of social media which can report on and crushingly document the Clinton scandals and financial wheeling-dealing in uncensored, unfiltered, shocking detail.
