Hillary is sick of the left: Why Bernie’s persistence is a powerful reminder of Clinton's...
SALON ^ | April 4, 2016 | Connor Lynch

Heading into the final months of the presidential primaries, Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton and her team seem to be increasingly fed up with the Sanders campaign, which has remained competitive since the first votes were cast in Iowa, and continues to dog Clinton from the left. Early last week, Clinton’s chief strategist Joel Benenson remarked that if Sanders wanted another debate, he would have to “tone down” his “very negative” campaign, which — as I discussed in a previous article — is an absurd allegation, considering the Clinton camp has held a virtual monopoly on negative campaigning.

(True, there are some nasty and vulgar Sanders supporters on social media, who Sanders has condemned; but we are talking about the campaigns, not random users on the internet, and Clinton has plenty of unpleasant online enthusiasts as well.)

On Thursday, Clinton herself vented about the Sanders campaign at a rally in New York, and when confronted by a Greenpeace activist about her financial ties to the fossil fuel industry, she replied testily: “I am so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me. I’m sick of it.”

Go Bernie. Keep the pressure on her. She’ll snap at some point.

Hmmm, maybe I've been wrong all this time.

Up till now, my spidey senses have been telling me that those Sandernistas (nod to ThePeoplesCube.com) disrupting her events were paid performers.

She needs to run to the left of Bernie.

Oh wait.....that means she runs as a Bolshevisk. (smirk)

Question. If PIAPS receives the nomination and then strokes out or dies from liver cirrhosis does the VEEP become the nominee? She looks like she has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

That party has moved twelve paces to the left since Slick Willie was in the White Hut.

Your TIME is UP, Hildebeast.

Clinton and her team seem to be increasingly fed up with the Sanders campaign...

To read between the lines, imagine Hillary Clinton venting what she really thinks in a drunken screeching fit:; "Sanders isn't playing the part he agreed to play. He's supposed to be the moonbat leftie who makes me look like the electable, reasonable moderate! When he'd served his purpose, he was supposed to quietly go away. What's he doing, trying to actually win?"

Then she has to, falsely, tack to the middle. But Bernie's presence in the campaign won't let her.

Bwaa Ha Ha!

According to the British website, PoliticalCompass.org, which measures political ideology on a multi-axis model, based on social and economic beliefs, Sanders is the true moderate of the 2016 primaries...

Uh huh. And Lenin was a centrist.

Remember the film “El Cid” where the Campeador is already dead from an arrow wound, but they prop his corpse in full armor up onto his horse which gallops at the Moors who flee in panic?

Since this isn’t the 15th Century, Hillary’s handlers have already contracted with Disney Studios to produce an Audio Animatronics Hillary droid complete with waddle, to enter into the White House in 2017.

It waves, it cackles, it utters progressive platitudes, and is indistinguishable from the protoplasmic original. Given the current GOPe disarray, why shouldn’t it win in 2016?
