The last-minute Hillary bash has officially begun!

If you ever wanted to splice together some misleading and out of context Hillary clips, and post them on youtube, now is the time to do it. Who knows what happens on Monday, this may be your last chance to get the entire Hillary-hating audience to pay attention at once!

i'd love have the proper context explained, so as not to be misled. Any examples you have would be appreciated. Enlighten us, please.

You were trying to bait me into a call-out, and then hit the alert button. Sorry! Just go to GDP, start clicking on OPs, you'll find plenty of examples.

And I can assure you I have never "alerted" anyone. Ever. So if that was your concern it is unfounded. So feel free to go ahead and answer the question.

You lamented that all these quotes are misleading and out of context. I just asked you which ones. I've seen them, but obviously I don't know the true context the way you do, so I need it explained to me so I can understand. You obviously had some idea which ones were misleading when you posted this. I'll make it easy, just pick one. You must have a favorite.

has changed her position on universal healthcare, which is a total lie. She is and has always been for universal healthcare. Not Bernie's absurd plan that even single-payer supporters like Krugman have pointed out won't work, but Bernie's plan is not the only path to universal coverage. Obviously. And thankfully.

You'll have to find the link yourself, but it shouldn't be very hard.

I just went to the Clinton website. She has a whole page on the issue of healthcare. It says her number one priority is to "defend the ACA" but nowhere does it even mention "universal healthcare" or "single payer" or even a "public option". I do remember in 2008 she mentioned universal healthcare quite a bit. (Famously chastising BO for "attacking a fellow democrat on universal healthcare&quot She's pivoted to the right this time and now says Sanders' plan is "some better idea that will never, ever come to pass". I guess that's misleading to you but seems pretty clear to me. She saw some space with sanders on the right and took it. That's called politics, but there's nothing all that misleading about it.

I have never supported a primary candidate before, wasn't a Democrat before 2000--might have found Sanders appealing back then, although I doubt it, I leaned toward 'real' socialism, although in a lazy, lackadaisical way.

I've never seen anything like this. I get irritated when I see RW crap all over the place, but any port in a storm and all that I guess, but damn.

And conversely, the more bitter Bernie's defeat will be for his followers. (I'm not sure to which one I'm more looking forward.)

to divide and conquer. I will vote for whomever wins as the Dem. I would prefer it to be Bernie, but I will vote for Hillary if she wins.

Trump will focus on her like he did "low energy" Jeb, Ben Carson and the others. The only difference is there's much more to work with when it comes to Hillary.

They know their time is running short. They must inflict the maximum damage possible on the democratic candidate for President while they can.

And the only people it will benefit in the end is the republican party and its candidate.

Just makes you wonder why they would do such a thing...hmmm...
