Keep talking Bill.
Keep defending the indefensible.
History will not be kind to your legacy or the legacy of your wife.

(14,177 posts)I don't care what people who would defend that crap think. Bill came out as being racist as hell when he says that the protesters are giving aid and comfort to murderers. No Bill they are telling you that locking them up for joints has destroyed their communities. I feel nothing but sympathy for that because I had to live with that fear myself that my SO would be jailed for a joint and it would ruin my family. Fuck Bill Clinton and his racist ass.

(24,411 posts)Tuesday night, was the kick off. Clinton aids revealed to CNN talking heads that the Clinton camp, going forward has a new strategy against Bernie, "Disqualify, Defeat and Unify."
The next day, Hillary was out on a whirlwind media tour, slashing and burning. She said that Bernie wasn't a Democrat and that she had trouble categorizing exactly what he was. She said, "Bernie has been talking for more than a year about doing things that he obviously hasn't studied or doesn't understand. That raises a lot of questions."
When asked if Bernie was qualified THREE TIMES, by Joe Scarborough, THREE times she refused to answer.
She also said, "In a number of important areas, he doesn't have a plan at all."
ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK! Disqualify, Defeat, and Unify (Unify, boy is she in for a surprise!).
I think Hillary, Bill and her campaign have completely run off the rails. As their accusations and their antics get wilder, they will become more unhinged and say really stupid things. You can't make solid, sound judgments when you're out running around New York acting like a crazy person.
I personally hope that the Clinton camp continues these failed, immature tactics that will end up imploding their entire campaign. This didn't work in 2008. It won't work today. Bernie just needs to get centered and expect that this is what they will do. He should respond, and not react--and continue talking about the issues. Then, he will win.
And the Clinton's will drown in their own crazy before too long.

(2,388 posts)in a tit-for-tat manner, much of which he can't even bring himself to
say (whereas lies come more naturally to Clinton). This is NOT who
he is and I fear it will backfire. There was nothing gained by him
when he said Hillary was unqualified to be president. He did not look
stronger for having done it...only weaker because he was going against
his own type and HE didn't even believe it.
If they drag him into this sort of meaningless boxing match he will not
win in his supporter's eyes...the people who got behind him for who he
is.
I hope his timely visit to the Vatican will refocus and center him.
