When we stand together is a signature Bernie line

and Hillary has the gall to use it in her victory speech? Does she realize that she is again turning off and alienating half of democrats? Yes, She won big in SC BUT at the end of today both candidates have accumulated 2% of the total delegates. This is a close race and passions run deep. By stealing Bernie's lines and trying to pass of his policy positions as her own she is just infuriating more people who will never vote for her as a result. I know many people that are voting for Bernie, not because they agree with his policies but because the believe in him. He is honest and forthright. Most people I talk to hate Hillary - yes Hate - because she isn't true to herself or us. She has no core beliefs, it seems to me, except that winning is everything to her so she tells one group she is moderate and another group she is progressive. She tells some groups she is against the TPP and tells other she helped create it. She vote for the war but says it was just one little vote. She is for the pipeline or against it? Depends on what day it is. And the outright stealing of her opponent's actual signature speech is inexcusable. She would do that in the general if she runs against Tump. She will be all for the wall and for more war. She will slowly adopt Trump's whole platform - which is fairly empty anyway. I pray that the people aren't really as dumb as Hillary thinks we are.

It makes me wonder what if anything hasn't been stolen from someone else. Ultimately it's what keeps me from backing her, I get no sense of who she is, or what her core values are.

of what she has stolen from Bernie and when she first used it?

Would be fascinating to read!

but for Hillary it is just a focus group tested hit line whereas for Bernie he means it. . . . he stood with others and got arrested.
