Politics Enough with the Hillary cult: Her admirers ignore reality, dream of worshipping a queen

For barfo's benefit:

 

I've been doing my best to post a number of topics within this one thread so the OT section isn't full of a bunch of similar topics.

In that light,

 

Lost their minds when deciding to support Sanders, IMO.

A lot of Democrats don’t want to admit it, but Donald Trump isn’t the only presidential candidate playing with fire and recklessly courting an angry mob.

For the latest round of curse-word hurling, chair throwing, social-media stalking and conspiracy-theory swapping, look no further than the supporters of Bernie Sanders.

Over the weekend, dozens of Sanders devotees lost their minds after the Nevada Democratic Party, meeting for its convention in Las Vegas, awarded a majority of delegates to front-runner Hillary Clinton.

Amid Democratic infighting, polls are improving for Trump

The poll also suggested that hopes among Democrats of an easy win over Trump are misplaced. Tuesday’s poll had Clinton with an edge of just 3 points in a hypothetical match-up: The former secretary of State led Trump 48 percent to 45 percent.

...

To be sure, it’s early. Polling numbers at this point in an election cycle can be significantly out of line with the results in November.

But there are warning signs for Clinton, nonetheless.

...

Democrats can take some comfort from the fact that the electoral map is more comfortable ground for them than for Republicans these days. But Clinton, who has been center stage in national politics for a generation, is running in a year when pro-insurgent sentiment is strong.

Some experts believe Clinton’s position might improve once she becomes the presumptive nominee of her party, something Trump has already accomplished.

“Trump might be getting something of a ‘unity bonus’ that Clinton might yet realize after Sanders leaves the race, whenever that is,” said Kyle Kondik of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics.

Parker: Viral video shows years of Hillary’s lyin’ ways

WASHINGTON — You could say that it all depends on how you define “lie.” Or, perhaps, that it’s hell to have a public record.

Either way, Hillary Clinton’s vast resume of, shall we say, inconsistencies, is the dog that caught the car and won’t let go. A viral video collection of her comments on various subjects through the years is bestirring Republican hearts.

To those who’d rather vote for a reality show host than a Clinton, the video merely confirms what they’ve believed all along. For independents and even Democrats, it’s a reminder of how often Clinton has morphed into a fresh incarnation as required by the political moment.

Most of the highlights would be familiar to anyone who follows politics — her varying takes on Bosnia, health care, Wall Street, NAFTA — but the juxtaposition of these ever-shifting views is more jarring than one might expect. Politicians count on Americans’ short attention spans (and memories) as much as they do their own policies and/or charms. This video, inartfully titled “Hillary Clinton lying for 13 minutes straight,” clarifies blurred recollections and recasts them in an order that, among other things, reminds us how long the Clintons have been around.

...

Presumptive nominees Clinton and Trump are equally egregious in their misstatements, if in substantively different ways. Clinton is measured, poised, concentrated and studied when she revises her personal history. Trump just says whatever tiny thought penetrates his prefrontal cortex where
inhibitory functioning is obviously kaput, blurting absurdities and bromides the way pirates toss plastic beads from papier-mache ships at Mardi Gras.

 

I saw the video. Video doesn't lie.

 

I didn't say anything about throwing chairs. Just that they lost their minds.

 

Lets see the video of the person actually throwing the chair. I've seen the one of a man holding a chair up but he sets it back down.

 

Not that there is anything wrong with that...

 

Sanders supporters have been reported to disrupt Trump's events, too.

How Bernie Sanders supporters shut down a Donald Trump rally in Chicago

(but anything bad about Bernie Sanders is a set up, Hiliar smear job, etc.)

 

First Fox News Poll, now Rasmussen show Trump ahead of Hiliar.

They talked about it on CNN yesterday, and one of the Hiliar supporters started out with "I don't pay any attention to anything Fox News says" and Anderson Cooper replied, "Fox is transparent about how they do their polling and we respect these results."

Rasmussen: Trump +5
CNN, Fox News Trump +3

How I Acted Like A Pundit And Screwed Up On Donald Trump
Trump’s nomination shows the need for a more rigorous approach.

Hiliar lost Oregon and won Kentucky. She got 51 delegates out of it to Sanders' 55.

Great system the Democratic Party has in place. Not so democratic.

 

A conspiracy theory I've seen written about lately. Due to Hiliar's poor polling and it looking like Trump might demolish her in the general election, Obama administration does indict her around convention time so they can replace her as the nominee with Joe Biden.
