and now her supporters claim she's the victim.
This is why the general populace is tired of Hillary Clinton and her hijacking of a once great party.

(110 posts)This new scorched earth + victimhood thingy isn't going to work either.
But, as I have said many times, the DNC mobsters will destroy the Party before they let a Progressive lead it.
So I expect them to go really ugly now out of desperation.

(231 posts)The DNC is controlled by the corporatists and greed. It will get ugly. Similar to what the rethugs are doing on the other side to the outsider Trump. I hate to say it but at some point it could even turn to vote fraud...the DNC machine can and will resort to GOP war tactics to take down Bernie if things get dire for HRC. We can already see Brock pull out some of his dirty tricks.

(2,353 posts)It forces them to face the cognitive dissonance that Clinton doesn't stand for anything, she flips and flops in whatever manner she thinks will get the most votes at the moment in time she is campaigning for them. I think they have a term for that, triangulation.
Joe the Revelator
(14,915 posts)He was why they made the term third way. It's like history just doesn't matter anymore.

So there must have been a million, at LEAST!

(13,877 posts)They would no longer be staff. Was there a retraction ? That's what typically follows a misstatement. Oherwise it stands. But you knew that.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)she never said that.
Joe the Revelator
(14,915 posts).... the first part of that statement means?

Has the campaign stated this reporter's statements are inaccurate?
"Published on Apr 6, 2016
AUDIO: "The Clinton Campaign has been watching these Wisconsin results come in and the delegate race of course is tight there, but the reality is they're running out of patience . so they're going to begin deploying a new strategy it's going to be called 'DISQUALIFY HIM - DEFEAT HIM' and then they can unify the party later.
For the last several months, the Clinton Campaign has been first ignoring Bernie Sanders, then dismissing him -- now they are going to go head-long into him, I'm told, beginning here in the New York Primary in two weeks on his gun record, on other things. So Party-unity aside for now, one aide told me that will come later. They're going to start trying and defeating Bernie Sanders so that scenario you saw play out there on John's wall, does not come true. The Clinton Campaign is running out of patience. They want to stop Bernie Sanders, and move on to the Fall Campaign."

(10,559 posts)Fortunately "the Google" exists and no one with sense sees it as anything but sad stupidity on the part of the Clinton folk.
Yes, half the Democratic Party has now joined the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy".

(5,198 posts)thinking a 'gaffe' will outweigh all our knowledge of the issues.
Remember the Dean scream and Kucinich saying he saw a UFO was enough to derail their campaigns. But these methods won't work, we are more united and awake to fall for it, IMHO.
timlot
(456 posts)This is so out of character for Bernie Sanders. I think some of his campaign heads that have been wanting him to negative have finally gotten to him.
Give it a few more days and he'll be using repug talking points about indictment and David Petraeus got charged for doing far less.
