So basically Hillary went to Michigan in order to lie about Bernie's vote on the auto bailout.


Recent polls show she was slipping badly. She had to do something!

So now she may end up winning Michigan dirty, but the lies are catching up to her...

minimum wage, which she certainly does not. It was a convenient lie which went unchallenged. This is why nobody trusts her.

The Sanders people have already launched a rebuttal ad. Haven't seen it yet

This has been the slimiest campaign I've ever seen.

It was said on CNN that her internal polling showed her slipping and not generating enthusiasm, so she had to drop that bomb on Bernie and also "testify" in a lot of church services.

And the only clip they show is of lying Hillary saying Bernie voted against the bailout. Sometimes I wish I tweeted because they would get a piece of my mind right now.

book "How to steal a election" It is chapter 21. Chapter 12 is Swiftboat tactics. Which has already been done by the HRC camp.

She's going to tell a lie that's too big to swallow at some point. Either that, or the thing that's keeping her entire campaign awake at night is going to come out.

Regardless, this isn't the behavior of someone confident that she's going to win.

They may stab her in the back during the GE- if Trump is running, turning her into a punching bag will net huge ratings.

I do think people are getting their news from other sources now, otherwise Bernie would be cooked by now.
