Clinton has gone from all but ignoring Sanders to fiercely engaging him in recent days, a reflection of public and private polling that points to a race that is uncomfortably competitive for the Democratic front-runner. She openly questions his electability and argues that he is out of step with the party on guns and other issues.

It is all part of a coordinated effort to persuade voters who may be intrigued by Sanders' populist rage to take a longer view and embrace Clinton's candidacy, whether or not they were initially enthused about her.

Maybe Bernie will now reconsider his we-don’t-care-about-the-emails remark.

Oh, and one more thing, Bernie. Don't talk any long walks alone.

Bernie is the godfather of White Flight.

Democrats: What a pathetic, disastrous ticket....an old Communist hack versus a criminal, lying, lawbreaking, old Communist hack under FBI and Congressional investigation, with an IMPEACHED, perverted criminal husband doing her campaigning for her....

Unbelievable.

I repeat, Democrats don’t have Debates, they have Auctions.

#1 Rat - I’ll make the Evil Rich pay for your iPhone.

#2 Rat - I’ll make the Evil Rich pay for your Cable TV.

#1 Rat - Oh yeah? I’ll make the Evil Rich pay for your College Education.

#2 Rat - Oh yeah? I’ll make the Evil Rich pay your Mortgage.

Blah, blah. Republicans are Evil and it’s all their fault.

the rest of the statement is even more drone like. Shes supporting er because she has the better chance to defeat the Republican. Nothing about the candidate she is most aligned with but only in defeating the evil empire.
