Shaun King: Hillary Clinton must think we're stupid.
Shaun King has an article today at the NY Daily News that ravages Hillary Clinton. There is also an embedded video that interviews Ann Selzer about recent polling that is worth watching.
KING: Hillary Clinton wants you to ignore the reality of the polls — and you shouldn't
... Daily, the list of things her campaign expects voters to ignore or forget grows longer and longer. It's gotten ridiculous, actually.
... Ninety-seven days ago, when asked if she'd release the transcripts, which she has and owns, Clinton said she'd look into it. Is she still looking?
Are we expected to just forget about these speeches, even though employees from Goldman Sachs said if they were released it would tank her campaign and make her look like a Managing Director for the company?
Now, Hillary's campaign wants us to ignore poll after poll after poll which shows her either losing to Donald Trump or so close that it's within the margin of error. ...
I love that King is writing this in the NY Daily News, right there in the heart of the beast, at Hillary's doorstep, and not some fringe website. ;->
In the video the anchor asks Selzer about Sanders' argument that he is a stronger candidate and Selzer replies, "I think he makes a fair point." The article and video are both excellent and worth checking out.

If it wasn't OBVIOUS Hillary thinks we're stupid...
maybe we (The voting public) really ARE stupid.
Time after time after time she's caught red-handed and the media gives her pass after pass after pass.
Fuck it, I'm calling her Dame Hillary and getting it over with. She's American Unofficial Royalty, and it's long past time that if we're going to be extending her those privileges, she gets the responsibilities that go with it. Which Involves LOTS of charity and noblesse oblige, Hillary... You sure you want to deal with that shit, because we already KNOW you hate people and think they're stupid and beneath you.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
Thanks
Great link. I'm so glad we have a voice out there ringing the bell. I hope they are listening!

Listening now, mate. She is THE poll guru and explains
things as well as always. Another month of Trump rising and Bernie winning will change the public perception of the election in Bernie's favour. He should ride into the convention with a strong trade wind behind him, while she'll be plugging leaks in the sinking ship :=)

I think we may be near a tipping point
The FBI has not predicted that the investigation will be concluded before the election. We are now in the situation where a Bernie surrogate might raise the question as to whether anyone should cast a vote for someone who might not be permitted to serve if elected.
You know Obama
will issue her a full pardon before leaving office. Ford pardoned Nixon without Nixon having been charged with anything. I'm sure Obama can give Clinton a Presidential baptism and wash all her sins away. As long as she gets to 270 electoral votes, everything else will sort itself out.

I think you nailed it
A pardon for Clinton and passage of TPP - lame duck session crapola.

It's amazing how SHAUN has changed the tone of his
Writing since leaving the gos.... Where 99% of what he wrote on the FP was anti Bernie
Kind of makes one wonder
Orwell was an optimist
I noticed the same thing
I think his writing is much better, maybe because he is not constrained any more.

He wasn't anti-Bern.
He just wasn't pro-Bern, had not yet felt the Bern. He wrote about his coming to terms with #TheBern, has been a BernieBros since before Iowa. He's not a johnny-come-lately.

No, Clintoon
..simply doesn't give a flying fuck about Sanders or his supporters. She considers the upcoming convention to be merely the full dress rehearsal for her coronation on November 9.
I so want to kick her right in her nonfunctioning crotch in a steel-toed boot... I may be old and I may have trouble walking, but surely I can still break bones.
::sigh::
I'd teach that old bitch to ignore us all. She needs more than a severe bitchslapping. She needs a kick in the frontals hard enough to force her to sit down and let the PEOPLE fix the mess she's contributed to for over 20 years now.

Agreed!
Hillary Clinton really couldn't give a shit about anyone else.......... aside from close family, and even that might be debatable.
Gëzuar!!

in her view, Sanders is the equivalent
of a Zelaya in Honduras. That silly grass-roots, banana-republic movement! That nobody-populist! How dare he have the chutzpah!
The nerve of that little man, on her very watch as overseer of the darkies on her plantation! What right does the Honduran servant-class have to challenge the Madam's supreme authority over her backyard corporate plantation?
Her skill at manipulating the puppet-generals, though the strings of the marionettes were invisible at the time, it quickly put Zelaya and his ilk in their place. Easy enough, a mere afterthought.
Indeed, even today her killer-manikins continue to to pick off a few stragglers as suits her noble pleasure (Berta Cáceres, Nelson García, ect).
The seasoned puppet-lady will have that uppity Sanders back in his place soon enough.

This is the unanswerable challenge to
The main argument for voting for Hillary Clinton which goes like this:
You must vote for Hillary to stop Trump
Because Trump is a maniacal racist w/neo-Nazi supporters who are thugs
Who will probably kill POC if he gets into office,
which means that if you don't vote for Hillary, you have the blood of POC on your hands.
Actually, even if you take all the above assumptions as read, the real choice I'm being offered as a white person
Is whether I want dead POC close by--
or a few hundred or thousand miles away.
Can't decide if the problem here is that Black Lives Matter, but Brown Lives Don't (too bad Latinos and Arabs)
or if the problem is that Black Lives Only Matter If They're Born in the United States.
I'm thinking maybe it's the latter.
But asking me which POC's blood I want to soak my hands in is not a choice.
It's an insult.

What exactly is a "non functioning" crotch? And how does that part of a women's anatomy make her a bad choice for the Oval Office? We're not really making a serious argument that menopause is the reason for her lack of integrity, are we?

Yeah, I thought that was in bad taste as well. n/t
I actually agree--there's literally no reason to make a sexist
insult re Hillary, b/c there are so many completely justified lines of attack!

I have zero use for women who pull the gender card
making arguments, whether they're Clintoon fans or supporters of Sanders.
I have less use for men deciding what isn't or is a sexist remark about women.

She only calls on her crotch
She only calls on her crotch to remind others she's a good choice for first woman president. She doesn't give a fuck about women's rights and she'll throw us and the RvW decision under the bus in a blink if it'll push her closer to the oval office. As for menopausal or not, I don't give a shit.
And get out of my face about menopause. Been there, done that, threw out the T shirt as it wasn't worth the time to pollute the air with burning it. Don't YOU or anyone of your pals here put words in my mouth with rhetorical questions again. It's a dishonest tactic.
CLINTOON is a SHIT choice for the first woman president because she's a fucking OLIGARCH. Get a grip, you!

Hey, hey, put that thing down, you could hurt somebody.
Seriously, though, I hope you don’t mind but I have to say that’s a bit too much fury flung at fellow posters — come on, you’re among friends here.
excellent point, Janet!
and the emails simply refer to the Benghazi/Libya/Qadaffi issue. In 2009, Honduras was going leftist, something like the Sandinistas had started in Nicaragua. The oligarchy was not broken, it could have been addressed peacefully but Hillary was at the scene of the crime to insure the coup was a success.
9-11 in South America doesn't have the exact same meaning as it does here in North America. Allende was toppled on 11 Sept. 1973. Operation Condor wiped out a whole generation of progressive Latin Americans in the 70's, and Raygun/Bush took over with the Central American genocide in the 80's.
The Clintons' dirty work in Latin America was more tactical and strategic, assisting the oligarchy with clandestine diplomatic support, reserving death squad activity for only the most vocal peasantry.
Hey, thanks for this post, GW! My
wi-fi connection has slowed, and is buffering, so I'll have to watch the video a bit later. (I listen to With All Due Respect most afternoons on XM Radio. It's an informative program.)
Anyhoo, agree with your, and King's, sentiments. FSC needs to drop out of the race. Of course, I can't imagine that she would--even if she were incarcerated, LOL!
Seriously, I'm hoping that we'll get lucky, and the FBI investigation will force her out of the race, at some point. Bernie could win. She cannot, IMO. And if she could, it would be a catastrophe.

Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.
I think that Secretary Clinton
believes, and with good reason, that the US voting public is powerless, and I sense that this belief informs her approach. Powerless here means a lack of will to use the means of a democratic system to make stealing an election impossible without it being understood as an unconstitutional coup d'etat.
President Obama was a candidate of a century. His winning the nomination against then-Senator Clinton showed that the US voting public, those who lean toward the Democratic Party, could be mobilized to support an attractive candidate. This does not disprove Senator Clinton's assumption (if it is hers and not mine). The midterm elections I believe are a better gauge of the actual will of the US voting population.
It is a dictator's paradise, really, if you are a slightly savvy dictator.
Peace and love be with you, reader.
