and more poo-pooing a candidate who dared stand in the way of The Clinton Coronation.

Oh, yeah, I'd love to see Bernie Sanders stand up to eleven hours of grilling by his political opponents like Hillary Clinton did last year. Her road to "coronation" has been anything but royal, three decades of attacks using the FBI, House and Senate committees grilling everyone connected with her as well as her, billionaires funding private efforts, state governments, state police, etc.
It's so ironic that a man who has never had to stand up to any such vetting is presenting her as someone who got the royal treatment when it's he who has never really been vetted as she has for three decades. She's probably the most reliably vetted candidate in the history of the presidency.
Now, go lie about her some more, it's what you guys do, what make you not unlike Trey Gowdy and Rush Limbaugh, in the end.

Considering that Bernie Sanders has never even had to face a challenger for a nomination before this year, that he's had pretty much no real opposition in decades, considering that Hillary Clinton's other challenger has never had to run for political office before and neither of them have faced down their political opponents as she has had to over and over and over again for three decades, to assert she's expecting a "coronation" is an assertion of sheer sexism. If there's one thing that Hillary Clinton has no reason to have any illusions about it is that she's not going to have to fight for everything she wins, everything she manages to get done. A "coronation" is something for the Sanders and Trumps who have had the real royal road this elections cycle. It's clearly how they both expect to become president, something they're entitled to.
Clinton's favorability rating has declined recently, due to attacks by Trump and Sanders and probably a lot of the on-line stuff about how "corrupt" she is (always vague and general descriptions of her perfidy).
ReplyDeleteNothing she can't regain, in other words, in a national campaign.
And Trump is just starting to get the push-back his most outrageous claims deserve (Vince Foster being the first up; it's even reminded Wolf Blitzer he's a journalist). He can't sustain the lunatic fringe arguments he made in the primaries on the national stage, where he stands against Clinton, not Cruz or Rubio. And without those arguments, what does he have?
And lord above, the shitstorm the GOP would unleash on Sanders. He's already proven he can't handle losing; against the GOP oppo machine he'd be shredded wheat by August.
