Not at all. If anything I think it helps Bernie. That shit was low, even for Hillary. I know it's only anecdotal evidence, but I saw people saying it made them switch. Ond tweet yesterday that made a few articles was a lady saying something like "My 82yo mother has always been a Hillary supporter. After seeing her message about Sandy Hook she officially switched to Bernie."
 
That's just more proof of who she serves. Unfortunately, her minions, the Baby Boomers, are not politically sophisticated enough to understand the implications of this. That and they are too complacent to care.
 
From the red corner, anyone else feel like Kasich might be the real threat and the only reasonable republican? He seems pretty qualified to me in some regards, and hes certainly light years ahead of trump or cruz. I think if it were down to bernie or hillary vs kasich, the republicans would have a shot bc cruz or trump just don't seem electable to me.
 
^ yep. from realclearpolitics.com:

Click to expand...

CNN's referencing one parent from Aurora (from what I gather, the dude owed a bunch of money to the gun company that sold the Aurora shooter his ammo, and he's pissed off because he's still obligated to pay it after her death...why anyone would think he should be exonerated is just :?) and the daughter of the Sandy Hook principal (who was not even involved in what went down) as being emphatically anti-Sanders over the gun stuff . No TV reporting of the anti-Clinton sentiment over the same stuff.

So Sanders needs to bring this up in the debates, the emotional negation factor, if it is to get on the MSM.
 
I really wish they both would stop with the whole "qualified" thing. Of course they are both qualified. The Constitution gives three simple requirements and they both meet them. As do a bunch of people on this forum. Both of their campaign managers have said on CNN in recent times that the other candidate was "of course qualified." So it really needs to stop.

They should rephrase it as "be a good leader" or something if they are going to keep taking cheap shots.
 
Lmao the Hillary campaign just keeps shooting itself in the foot. Speaking at a rally today in PA, Bill Clinton was confronted with Black Lives Matter protesters so he angrily told them they were defending drug dealers and murderers. I don't think that's going to help Hillary's already plummeting monitory vote.
 
well, by asking, she's not inferring anything although she may be implying something :)

it's the difference between discussing the extent to which somebody is qualified rather than a simple binary - whether they are or are not.

like i say, it is subtle...

Is that subtle difference enough to accuse Sanders of being wrong that that's what she was implying like the Washington Post did? I suppose you could argue that it is. I don't think it is though. Politicians are the masters of saying something without actually saying it.
 
I'd personally like to thank Bill Clinton for ruining his wife's chances at the Whitehouse. It couldn't have played out better. At the same time Billery was yelling at BLM protestors, Bernie was in another part of PA telling people he would apologize as President for slavery when asked by someone in the audience.
