Bernie Sanders' popularity making Hillary Clinton campaign 'nervous'
77 replies, posted
[QUOTE] The Clinton campaign appears to be getting nervous.
While from the start Hillary Clinton's campaign has said they were not taking anything for granted, the Democratic frontrunner didn't always act that way -– for months carrying on as though her challenger, Bernie Sanders, didn’t exist.
Over time, however, the 74-year-old Vermont senator has risen in the polls and gained growing support that eventually became too big for Clinton to ignore.
Now, just a few weeks until the first voting begins in Iowa and New Hampshire, her campaign is showing signs they're more anxious than ever about the outcome of these races. [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]"See the new Fox poll that had Bernie up a lot in New Hampshire? No wonder they're in attack mode," Sanders communications director Michael Briggs said in a statement. "Secretary Clinton and her team are getting nervous and nasty because the so-called inevitable nominee anointed by the establishment eight months ago doesn't look so inevitable anymore."[/QUOTE]

It's only a matter of time until the Hillary "Can you really trust an Independent Socialist" ads start playing.

that's when you know hes getting to her when she starts using petty and low tactics against him.

Like implying that he's sexist?
She's already done that.

when and what grounds did she use for that?
Hilary Clinton's history should be making her campaign nervous
I haven't heard any notable group praising her
I thought she'd be long gone by now.

Start? She's already done that in debates. "Impune my integrity", etc.

She cherrypicked Bernie's words when he was stating how she was "shouting at others" when it came to gun violence. So naturally she twisted his words and said "I haven’t been shouting, but sometimes when a woman speaks out, some people think it’s shouting." Basically Hilary will say [I]anything[/I] to get elected and is willing to pull off dirty tactics such as the sexism crap. At least Bernie has more backbone than that and actually votes for free internet policies and pushes for gay marriage, when Hilary totally flip flops whenever is convenient for her.
Here is the point in which Obama started winning against her...
Yeeyuh GURL
Bern and tha crew comin straight from tha underground
Now you see us you caint stop us my nig
TIME TO START SWEATIN GUUUUUURL
But for real it's nice to see that democrats can no longer ignore Bernie. He's easily the better candidate.

The flip flopping is also ridiculous. Suddenly she's the most progressive person ever, caring about gay rights when she previously did not, etc.
She is an establishment Democrat just like Obama is. His views on gay marriage "evolved" months after polls showed support to be at around 50%. They make progressive promises on the campaign trail then dial it back when they get into office because the establishment doesn't want progressive policies.
Even knowing how she will say anything I'd still vote Clinton over Trump or really any Republican candidate. Rather someone I agree with 40% of the time and lies to my face than someone who I agree with 10% of the time and lies to my face.

It was more after the Iowa primary. Which hasn't been polled in almost a month. With the rhetoric of the Sanders campaign, he may very well be within 5 points of Clinton there.

Obama was more progressive but unable to do anything because of his somewhat weak personality and weak position (House+Senate).
I really hope Sanders wins solely because the other candidates being in charge of a major world superpower terrifies the hell out of me

I think that it was more of a thing that he knew he couldn't do anything until more people came out in support of it, unlike Hilary who clearly only did it to boost her campaign ratings.
These families like Clinton and Bush need to fuck off from politics already.

I think both of them probably see gay marriage as something they wanted to see sooner rather than later but neither of them were willing to risk political capital for it until it was less risky.
The reason $hillary is even a contender at this point is blindly proffered gender politics and that CNN MSNBC, ABC and Fox refuse to run much of anything on any other Democratic candidate.
The day Sanders was on Morning Joe, Clinton was on 4 MSNBC shows and CNN's prime time show. The level of bias is impossible to miss, especially from CNN and MSNBC.

Yeah, Time Warner owns CNN, and is one of the biggest funders for Hillary.
You know, I think this is pretty great, look at Hillary who has all these connections, free advertisement from some of the most wide reaching media sources, all these people backing her, all this money, and she probably wont win.
Yet two people with some of the least aggressive advertising and spending some of the lowest amounts have really good chances of taking the nomination.

Wait, there's Bernie Sanders, then I'm stumped. Who's this other guy :v:

Yeah well there's a video of Sanders in the 90s fighting against don't ask don't tell and one of the Debaters said something about not wanting "homos" in the military and Sanders just shut that shit down
He's been on the side of what he believes is right for a goddamn long time, and has never let his reputation or political needs get in the way of doing what he believes is right for those he represents

I love Bernie, and he does come off as an actual caring person who gives a fuck. But hes promising too much magical shit for me to really vote for him.
I dont think he would get much done at all, not even close to what hes promising, but I wouldnt mind at all having him as a President, doesnt seem like some corrupt asshole. I also wish he had a bit more backbone, hes no pushover, but he should have a little more gumption. I mean Bernie needs allies and backings from congress, the house, and the senate to actually get shit done, and I just dont think he has enough people who would be backing him all the time.
If we had a perfect mix of Trump and Bernie into 1 human we would have a great president. Someone with a lot of guff and muff, but also true to himself and his beliefs and doesnt spout nonsense. Would know economics and social issues. Trumps retardation would be fixed by Bernies sanity, and Bernies lack of energy would be fixed by Trumps gump.

Anyone really.
On that note Gary motherfuckin' Johnson has announced that he's seeking the Libertarian nomination.
