  1. There’s a fascinating mixture of hubris and deception here.
    “the campaign frequently grumbles that Sanders hasn’t faced the same level of scrutiny as the former secretary of state”
    She wants to run on her record as getting things done, but she doesn’t want the record examined or criticized. What would be worst for her is if Dems start noticing that she had zero successes in her time at State.
    “We actually have to do something. Not just complain about what is happening.”
    She will be in real trouble if Democrats start openly criticizing her past record and its accomplishments, or lack thereof. Again, she wants to be credited as the one who can get things done but not have anyone look under the rug to see the heaps of dust and dirt. As for getting things done, that would be her attempts at health care reform in the ’90s when Hubby Bill was Prez?
    “Clinton could soon face an FBI interview over the email controversy while at the State Department”
    At long last in paragraph 7, a reference to the FBI investigation. We all know this is the real elephant in the room. It will be interesting to see over the next few weeks if any of her committed super-delegates slip away. That will be the first real sign that her campaign is tanking.
    “…rattling Democrats already worried about her high national disapproval ratings.”
    A loss in New York where she was Senator would be a huge body-blow for her. More to the point, you can survive politically if not a lot of people like you. But you cannot survive if a lot of people hate you. Her disapproval ratings would augur trouble in the nationals to follow.

  2. She criticized Trump’s rallies for inciting violence. Now she has to deal with the same type of protesters. I hope they keep protesting against Hilliary and let’s see how she handles the pressure. What goes around comes around.

  3. could it be Sanders’ role in all this is to irritate Hellary to the point where she makes some colossal public gaff? like in the movies when the ‘bad guy’ exposes their real malevolent nature because of some microphone left on etc etc.
    that would be so exquisite, to see the rabid badger do it to herself.
    it has actually happened. I still say if she sits in the oval office, she will be magnitudes more viscious, vindictive, paranoid than indira ghandi or any other of a host of truly nasty-to-the-core women leaders.

  4. cgh: “She wants to run on her record as getting things done, but she doesn’t want the record examined or criticized. What would be worst for her is if Dems start noticing that she had zero successes in her time at State… ‘We actually have to do something. Not just complain about what is happening.’ ”
    I wouldn’t call her record zero:
    – China and Russia emboldened
    – North Korean nuisance brought to critical stage
    – Iran given license to develop nuclear arms, I mean power, enriched with revenues and regained oil market share.
    – dropped ball big time on Libya & Benghazi, lives lost, terrorists win.
    – Egypt, again backed wrong horse, Morsi who went Islamist from day one had to be overthrown in a populist military coup.
    – provided key, sensitive information to be made available to US enemies and corporate spies.
    – like Obama, more interested in catching a plane than acknowledging ISIS, which they argue is not an existential unless they nuke the crap out of us.
    – in that, lost Syria/Iraq to terrorists & Russians, enabled by the US pullout & another sectarian leader delivering the people into an Islamist iron grip.
    – she jetted around reinforcing the idea of an impotent America, bluffing with red lines.
    – overall, pontificated about being strong on security, followed by doing nothing.
    As far as the ‘don’t complain,’ that’s the familiar refrain of incompetents followed after their election by ‘we’re no worse than the other guy.’ Typically progressive, her thin skinned fatal conceit assumes nobody would dare point out her serial litany of failure, shared in good portions with Obama BTW.
    She does have the possible criminal corruption monkey on her back to herself for now. What will it matter when she is POTUS? Too bad for her that deek didn’t work for Nixon; unless the Dems grab control of Congress it won’t work here either, if anything close to what’s being alleged is true.
    OTOH the RINOs, their Dem political bedfellows and other employment concerned establishment wonks are doing their best to affect that result.

  5. “real malevolent nature because of some microphone left on etc etc”
    In the FOX long form critique of Obama’s foreign policy last night…There was a film clip of a bloody Libyan leader Kaddafi been pulled from a hole & killed…followed by a cut of Hillary laughing & celebrating the event by saying “we came, we found, and we killed”. (paraphrased).
    Those clips tell everything you want to know about Hillary.. I expect they will play 24/7 in Oct

  6. I will vote for her if she can get just one of these four people to endorse her:
    Ambassador Chris Stevens
    Sean Smith
    Tyrone Woods
    Glen Doherty
    I will never vote for her or support her until she does. I hope for a just FBI Indictment of her and her minions.

  7. Donald trump will destroy her, he will not be controlled let alone by her. He will drive her crazy and she will throw a tantrum on the stage …actually i think Cruz would too but i think Cruz will let her control the debate and like romney he will project weakness and will lose.
    Yes i like and support Cruz but america needs a Trump trump will if nothing else clean up the boarder and nuke isis.

  8. He will DON MORRIS I am down here in Tucson and I have watched a few people who are inside trumps circle the guy is genuine and he really is a good guy probably not a strong Christian but he vaguely believes . He doesn’t want to tare up nafta he wants to hold Mexico and China to account he has said in private circles that he likes Canada we pay roughly the same we benefit each other greatly Canada does not under mine and rip off USA . That’s what trump has a problem with .

  9. Trump talks very quickly and trips up sometimes. I’m pretty sure he was trying to say that the American political system should have a wall built around it, then be aborted and finally nuked. His “uneducated” regular folk voters understand what he meant and agree wholeheartedly.

  10. The fawning media coverage of politicians, makes it very clear there is no Not Progressive Party.
    Not at the administrative, decision making level.
    The Guild of Parasites openly collude to maintain their place at the table.
    What Trump represents, scares the hell out of our career troughers.
    The Republican Organization is indistinguishable from the Democrats Organization.
    Smooth talking parasites, here to help the marks.
    Help them to lose their freedom and responsibilities.
    The media runs cover for these human vacuums, pretending there exists a distinction between thief #1 and thief #2.
    Professional courtesy probably, each being similar grades of freeloader.
    Sure they will have personal differences, but their commonality goes unremarked.
    Once again we are being treated to the combined media wisdom;”Trump is done”
    “For sure this time”
    “Because we say so.”
    Funny how the bill paying voters seem to reject the media “truth” and sneer at the “peoples choice” this same G.O.P endorse.

  11. Discounting her disastrous record as Secretary Of State, can anyone point to a single positive legislative, administrative, or executive initiative she has accomplished as Senator from N York, White House Assistant or Democratic Operative, in the past 25 years? Apart from a talent with her husband at raising vast amounts of money, I can think of nothing that qualifies her to be elected President.

  12. I think that if Hilary wins then many Saunders supporters will move to Trump if he’s the Republican candidate.
