Hillary Clinton launches new attack on Sanders
World Socialist ^ | 2/08/20 | Barry Grey

Posted on 02/08/2020 3:20:12 AM PST by Libloather

In the aftermath of the Democrats’ impeachment debacle and the chaotic breakdown of the Iowa caucuses, the Democratic Party establishment has stepped up its efforts to undermine the campaign of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders for the party’s presidential nomination.

With Trump’s poll numbers rising, despite the shift to the left among working people and youth reflected in the broad support for Sanders, the Democratic leadership is determined to suppress the issue of social inequality in the 2020 campaign for fear of encouraging the growth of social opposition and anti-capitalist sentiment.

The lead role in attacking Sanders from the right has been given to the Democrats’ defeated 2016 presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton. On Thursday, one day after the Senate’s acquittal of Trump and in the midst of the continuing vote-counting debacle in Iowa - and one day before the Democratic presidential debate in New Hampshire - Clinton intervened once again to accuse Sanders of dividing the Democratic Party and leading it toward disaster in the November election.

**SNIP**

This comes in the wake of Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday, in which he once again placed the defeat of socialism at the center of his reelection campaign and his efforts to create a fascist force to throw against the growing movement of the working class.

They are supporting Sanders not because they believe in the Democratic Party, and they will soon learn the hard way that Sanders is a false prophet who defends the system no less than Biden or Clinton.

Wow. The socialists are torqued off.

Hillary appears to running a not so subtle campaign to have a brokered convention... She may not get the nomination, but I suspect she will settle for being the VP candidate or bust, as in ‘bust’ the Democrats balls if they don’t at least put her on the ticket.

She’s already said she would take VP to Little Mike.

Of course, all his life insurance would be cancelled immediately...
