The primary is over. hrmjustin Apr 2016 #1

Abandon the workers of America... GoldenThunder Apr 2016 #88

Good thing Hillary Clinton is so popular with Unions... brooklynite Apr 2016 #105

And with non-union tech workers as well. JustABozoOnThisBus Apr 2016 #153

The only endorsements she has ever gotten from unions were from the leadership eridani Apr 2016 #156

They assassinated Robert Kennedy in June, B Calm Apr 2016 #5

If I recall correctly, she was much closer to Obama at the time than Sanders has been Squinch Apr 2016 #9

Much, much closer. And she had switched her focus to going after the GOP. n/t pnwmom Apr 2016 #148

Yes. She campaigned hard for Obama. She was very impressive. Squinch Apr 2016 #150

Perish the thought, and shame on you for MineralMan Apr 2016 #10

Shame on me for using Hillary logic! B Calm Apr 2016 #13

Shame on anyone who suggests it. MineralMan Apr 2016 #16

Totally agree. That's a good reason not to vote for her now. B Calm Apr 2016 #17

I think you miss the point of a primary Demsrule86 Apr 2016 #71

She was being asked about how long she was going to contest the primary. yallerdawg Apr 2016 #58

I've seen it in context and it is no less tasteless. Svafa Apr 2016 #106

"Tasteless" is a far cry from implying she stayed in the race in case of assassination. yallerdawg Apr 2016 #110

There is no higher standard for her. Svafa Apr 2016 #117

Didn't you say you watched the video? yallerdawg Apr 2016 #121

Yes, I've seen it many times. Svafa Apr 2016 #123

There is no implication!!! yallerdawg Apr 2016 #130

Do you know what the definition of "imply" is? Svafa Apr 2016 #135

That is an incredible leap in context! yallerdawg Apr 2016 #143

I watched the video. Multiple times. Svafa Apr 2016 #145

It's what some Sanders supporters do. They make shit up and then hate Hillary because of the Squinch Apr 2016 #152

That's not what she said nor is it what she had implied. StevieM Apr 2016 #112

She went there! B Calm Apr 2016 #113

Nope. She didn't. (eom) StevieM Apr 2016 #134

Rewriting history is a conservative trait. B Calm Apr 2016 #138

I disputed this line of attack eight years ago when it was first made against her. StevieM Apr 2016 #142

LOL go for it. B Calm Apr 2016 #144

Time for a redirection. kstewart33 Apr 2016 #27

Just reminding people how low Hillary got campaigning B Calm Apr 2016 #28

Okay. kstewart33 Apr 2016 #33

Hillary does not have a movement to build on. She is the establishment elite who does not bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #31

Again, this idea that she supports SS cuts is something you got directly from the Republican Squinch Apr 2016 #46

Not only does this poster consistently appropriate RW talking points Sheepshank Apr 2016 #78

It is a just a retread of Manny's claim that Obama was going to cut social security emulatorloo Apr 2016 #79

Well, Manny was something in sheep's clothing. I still don't know what he was under all that wool. Squinch Apr 2016 #80

Which is exactly the bullshit that Pet Petersen spounted in 2010 eridani Apr 2016 #157

No, it doesn't mean anything like that. It means raise the floor. You know, like raising Squinch Apr 2016 #159

What she said in the first debate was exaclty what Pete Petersen said in 2010 eridani Apr 2016 #162

She never said or even hinted that she'll cut Social Security. Where did you get that? George II Apr 2016 #67

She has left a lot of wiggle room on that issue... Human101948 Apr 2016 #154

To those looking for something to criticize, that's "wiggle room". As a matter of fact she NEVER... George II Apr 2016 #155

Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT. fleur-de-lisa Apr 2016 #34

Thanks, they don't like being reminded of how damn low Hillary can go. I cried my eyes B Calm Apr 2016 #90

That's awful to talk about assassination in regard to ANY candidate. cwydro Apr 2016 #42

Tell that to Hillary! B Calm Apr 2016 #94

So if someone you despise says something despicable, that means it's fine for you to say it? cwydro Apr 2016 #100

No, but some need to be reminded of where she went. B Calm Apr 2016 #107

Oh and here's your link you requested. B Calm Apr 2016 #111

They dont' have to assinate anymore, they have control of OUR voting machines....get it? ViseGrip Apr 2016 #53

Are you hoping that Clinton get assassinated? George II Apr 2016 #65

Not me, you? B Calm Apr 2016 #91

Really Demsrule86 Apr 2016 #70

What are you suggesting? fun n serious Apr 2016 #83

Just reminding Hillary supporters who voted for Obama on how dirty she is. B Calm Apr 2016 #93

I voted for Obama and thought they both handled it very well. pnwmom Apr 2016 #149

I voted for Obama too and thought she should of had never said that. B Calm Apr 2016 #151

I like how you're being shamed for quoting Mrs Clinton. frylock Apr 2016 #85

I know, it's cracking me up! B Calm Apr 2016 #92

I love the righteous, pearl-clutching indignance. Marr Apr 2016 #124

Well, we'll worry about that circumstance if and when it arises anigbrowl Apr 2016 #115

Does HRC have the required delegaste count to earn nomination right now, today? HumanityExperiment Apr 2016 #6

. Squinch Apr 2016 #8

... HumanityExperiment Apr 2016 #26

Completely irrelevant, given the support from superdelegates. MineralMan Apr 2016 #14

Actually the delegate count is all that is relevant, irrelevant applies to touting the popular vote Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #23

You continue to push something that even Bernie is not pushing. kstewart33 Apr 2016 #29

You work for the MSM ???? Cuz that's what they say too. It was not a concession speech. bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #32

Okay. Let's come back to this in a couple of weeks. kstewart33 Apr 2016 #41

'irrelevant'.... HumanityExperiment Apr 2016 #25

Hillary will decide the Party Platform and she is not pivoting away from issues leftofcool Apr 2016 #132

There needs to be major bridge repair of Mandella proportions. gordianot Apr 2016 #22

There will not be. Sanders supporters need to stop thinking that she will now cater to them Squinch Apr 2016 #24

They aspirations are very different and so are the supporters of both camps. bkkyosemite Apr 2016 #35

"Supporters of both camps" is a battle that has been fought and decided. There is only Squinch Apr 2016 #43

That is truly a winning strategy. gordianot Apr 2016 #48

It isn't a strategy. It is a simple statement of reality. Squinch Apr 2016 #49

Bernie supporters are told to leave on a daily basis, as you must have noticed. Punkingal Apr 2016 #74

So? I haven't asked any of them to leave. MineralMan Apr 2016 #76

No, I said move. LOL Punkingal Apr 2016 #89

if she should win, she WILL be impeached 2pooped2pop Apr 2016 #56

Nonsense. A President can only be impeached MineralMan Apr 2016 #57

You just pulled that directly out of...somewhere. Because that's clearly not what the poster was Squinch Apr 2016 #119

Then why don't you tell us what the poster I was replying to meant to say. B Calm Apr 2016 #120

He is saying, rather clearly, that you are in denial. Which does seem to be the case. Squinch Apr 2016 #127

I was stating a fact, you calling me a liar? B Calm Apr 2016 #128

Oh, for fuck's sake. You are just dying to be called a liar. What? Do you get points for that? Squinch Apr 2016 #129

No one has won the Democratic nominee. Quit pretending that someone has B Calm Apr 2016 #131

It's over. Hillary won. If denying obvious reality is what you require of people in order for you Squinch Apr 2016 #133
