Clinton's campaign seems to be working overtime today

Floating multiple 'issues' about Sanders to see which one will stick. Pathetic.

Can't you all find something positive to say about your Candidate? Something good about her positions that would sway voters?

[Motown_Johnny]

1. When she gets desperate she goes negative, and it ends up hurting her.

Her net approval rating is a Negative 26.

Bernie's net approval rating is a Positive 27.


She honestly thinks going negative will help her.

Terrible candidate. Terrible campaign.

[razorman]

4. I think she is scared of the upcoming debate Monday night.

The DNC is no longer able to hide her from the public. So, in preparation, her campaign is trying to stick something to Bernie that she can hopefully use in the debate.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

33. I don't think she is - it's her CNN

[razorman]

37. You may be right. I didn't think of that. Do you really think

they could influence a live televised debate that much, without it being obvious? I think Bernie will call them on their shit if they try it.

[reddread]

47. who picks the questions?

wonder how subtle they can be?

[razorman]

52. That's the question. If the debate questions are real 'gimme's for Hillary,

it will be obvious, since so many of us are watching for that sort of thing.

[reddread]

53. I think they will be more like GOTCHA!'s for Sanders

only they arent up to the task as we keep seeing.
the insanity really hasnt even begun.

[razorman]

55. Perhaps. Not sure what kind of 'gotchas' they can hand Bernie

that would not also snag Hillary. She is saying, "Me too, me too" to practically all of Bernie's positions, except on gun control.

[reddread]

56. they cant really take him off message

but so many of the moves made against him dont make much sense, more like pretense.
imagine what a League of Women's Voters debate might be like?
why should we have to?

[Dawson Leery]

2. DU/KOS/Young Turks have been villifying Hillary and her supporters from day one.

[Motown_Johnny]

10. Unfortunately, telling the truth about Hillary looks like vilifying.

Sorry, but that is the candidate you chose to support.

[Metric System]

14. +1000. They sling shit and slander at her but claim it's the truth.

[Dawson Leery]

20. I was not sorry to see Ed and Randi lose their shows.

I remember the vile sexism from those two in 2008.
The reason left wing talk never took off is because we do not want to hear left wing Rush Limbaugh's.

[Kentonio]

54. Do you also remember the vile racism from Clinton's 2008 campaign?

Or is your outrage selective?

[reddread]

58. nobody here has villified Hillary supporters

which is a rather stark contrast.
and considering all the despicable things done to disrespect and revile
Bernie supporters on DU without basis?
an amazing testament.

[Thinkingabout]

3. Things like this

Glad you ask, I hopes this helps

24. I've read some and will read more.

I don't hate Clinton. And will be happy to support her if she wins the primary.

It's impossible to not notice the multiple attempts today at trying to find a negative on Sanders that sticks.

[Thinkingabout]

44. Something I see daily against Hillary.

[draa]

5. It's Mitt Romney all over again.

He did the same. His supporters were as bad as Clinton's. They never spoke of the good of their candidate, only smear his opponent 24/7. And it failed just like her attacks will.

People need to be FOR something and not just AGAINST everything. That's the issue.

[Live and Learn]

6. They really need to up their game and come up with something credible.

The bs they have been posting is pretty pathetic and utterly transparent.

[closeupready]

7. What she seems to forget is that she's a Democrat (or calls herself one).

Going negative can work against someone from the OPPOSITION.

She's playing this out as if Bernie were the Republican, when in fact, he's more Democratic than SHE is.

She will lose in the general, because she's frightened of Republicans and will throw softballs.

[kennetha]

8. Huh?

How is Bernie, a life-long independent, self-described socialist, who has never run as a Democrat until now for ANYTHING, more of a Democrat than Hilary Clinton is?

[pinebox]

12. Easy

It's not hard against Hillary.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/6/4/1390529/-Hillary-s-voting-record

Dem ideals;

Universal health care
Living wage
Strengthening social security
Pro gay marriage (these days, Hillary was against it until 2013)
Education

are a few quick ones Bernie is STRONGER and MORE Liberal than Hillary on. FDR would be proud of Bernie.

[pangaia]

13. Values, positions, world view..... et al....

[Nanjeanne]

21. Because he stands for what once were real Democratic ideals

Before NAFTA, before 3 strikes, before deregulation, before believing we can't "choose to go to the moon" but have to settle for incremental inches that the Republicans let us have.

[catnhatnh]

39. Hillary has two L's in her name

because her psychic mother named her after a future hero...

[kennetha]

16. Sanders on the Democratic Party, back in the day.

I am not a Democrat or a Republican. Wishes Jesse Jackson would run as an independent.

[closeupready]

17. Hillary was busy on Walmart's Board of Directors at that time.

Prior to that, she was a Goldwater Girl.

[kennetha]

18. Sanders still isn't a democrat.

He's a socialist, who is just using the Democratic party process temporarily.

[closeupready]

19. Hillary is still a Republican, if Bernie isn't a Democrat.

So unless you have something more substantive than 'is not!' 'is, too!', I'm done with this exchange. Have the last word. Cheers!

[livetohike]

28. She was a Goldwater girl in college. Elizabeth Warren

was a Republican unti she was 40 or so. She voted for Reagan. That's more concerning to me than someone's party affiliation in college.

[Art_from_Ark]

62. Hillary was a corporate lawyer who defended utility companies against residential ratepayers

in Little Rock. She and Webb Hubbell argued that giving residential ratepayers a break on their utility bills, at a time when inflation was a big problem, amounted to "unconstitutional confiscation of property".

She was also best buds with the richest Republicans in Arkansas, who helped to bankroll Bill's first presidential campaign.

She claimed to be "dead broke"after leaving the White House, but yet moved into one of the poshest suburban neighborhoods in New York. And soon after that, she was shilling for a war on the Senate floor that was being pushed by the "vast right-wing conspiracy", the same "vast right-wing conspiracy" she had complained about 4 years earlier.

[Sheepshank]

35. So what fucking name calling will you apply to Warren? She VOTED Republican for decades

Hillary never voted for a Republican...EVER!!

[litlbilly]

9. They cant find any, so, its all they have

[MeNMyVolt]

11. Lovin it!

[Shadowflash]

15. What positions?

This weeks? Last weeks? Last years?

You're gonna have to narrow it down.

As far as I can tell the only deeply held core belief HRC has, is the belief she should be president. Everything else is up for grabs.

[kath]

45. + a brazillion.

[anigbrowl]

22. LOL

When Bernie supporters critique Clinton they're 'speaking truth to power' or somesuch, no matter how many or content-free the posts.

When Clinton supporters critique sanders they're desperate and pathetic, if they advocate for why she'd made a good President it's 'corporate propaganda.'

No double standard here, nosiree.

[Maedhros]

23. We critique Hillary based upon her record.

You critique Sanders based upon projection.

[anigbrowl]

25. Sure you do

That's why I see so many Wall street Journal editorials about her on DU these days. Thanks for your concern.

[Maedhros]

34. I sure do!

I criticize her for her Iraq War Resolution vote, her close financial and political ties with the private prison industry, her gleeful chortling over the death of Gaddhafi, her close financial and political ties to Wall Street, and her hawkish foreign policy.

Are those not well-documented, or are they fabricated and imaginary?

[hobbit709]

42. On Planet Clinton any and all fact based criticism is imaginary.

[anigbrowl]

46. Oh, I thought you were speaking for everyone.

I guess I misunderstood you.

[Sheepshank]

38. bwahh ahha haaa...Bernie has little to no record on any accomlishment

his writing, sponsoring, nursing, promoting, lobbying for, passing any bills that have actually advanced the nation in any significant way is pretty much zero.

[Cassiopeia]

26. Well it is a good day for it.

Millions are stuck at home due to the storm and many are probably reading the net while they have power.

Not much sticks to Bernie though. Especially the bullshit. Hillary and her attacks are as transparent as a perfect sheet of glass.

[jeff47]

27. When your campaign is based on "No, we can't", there isn't a lot of positive to talk about. (nt)

[beam me up scottie]

29. When they go anti-Semitic you know they're getting desperate.

We've seen the accusations of racism, sexism and communism before but the conspiracy theories about his time in Israel are new.

It's the new birtherism dressed up as "concern" and "curiosity".

[Matariki]

36. Well, I saw the kibbutz thing someone posted today...

[beam me up scottie]

40. Yep, that was it.

They don't believe he was really at a kibbutz.

But they've gone anti-Semitic before, this is just the newest meme.

[neverforget]

48. I'm so glad that

I have that forum trashed.

[beam me up scottie]

49. That was in GDP.

Because "inquiring minds" want to know what Bernie was really doing in Israel.

[neverforget]

50. Ah. the one I found was in the

protected group. I missed the one in GDP.

[Warren DeMontague]

30. Because obviously, Hillary cannot run on the issues

[TIME TO PANIC]

31. I knew it would get ugly once Bernie started surging in the polls,

but they're scraping the bottom of the barrel with some of these attacks.

[Vinca]

32. I was thinking about starting a rumor just to mess with them.

Something like, "You know Bernie's mysterious absence from the kibbutz? He was really interning at the Kremlin." I can imagine them spreading that around as gospel.

[catnhatnh]

41. Is nice that Hillary

stopped trading cattle futures...

[PFunk1]

51. Their is a good thing about the Clintion's campaign against Sanders

All of these attacks is 'seasoning' him up for future Repug attacks if he wins. While at the same time is hurting Clinton's favorability ratings among numerous democratic voting groups.

[randome]

57. From 'Clinton's campaign' to 'you all'.

It's too bad you don't view all Democrats as in this together.

59. Watching the wheels come off the Coronation Express...

... is one of the finest fails I have ever had the pure pleasure of witnessing.

Keep it up Hillarians, you're doing just fine.

[reddread]

61. one of the greatest train wrecks of the 21st century

and like humpty dumpty, not all of the billionaires money can put it back together.
