The PAC people. The Brock flock. The people willing to do her dirty work so her own clean fingers stay clean.

Wouldn't be necessary to assign them such work were there not a formidable threat from her main opponent.

Mr. Brock in particular is a whore. He has been for a long time. He still is. Big time.

it didn't quite hit me wait he's an extremist conservative isn't he. I don't exactly see him as changing his ways. Basically someone on the right pissed him off and in revenge he went to Clinton. who isn't that far off. Now I know who corrupted Hillary. I miss Hillary from the 90's but 2000 onwards total stranger.

into the right wing sewer and pull out people like Dick Morris (Bill) and Brock (Hillary).

But there they are.

I don't think Hi11ary's "fingers" are clean. She is carrying a LOT of baggage, and her "fingers" are soiled.

inner circle to remind her that many Democrats voted against her because of the very same tactics.

She's using all the wrong strategies to assert her candidacy. Short memory, this woman.

that's just the way she rolls. Once a dirty fighter, always a dirty fighter. She learned a lot from Rove's playbook.

facetious and didn't get there. Yes. There's a bitterness and spite, something of a propensity to temper-tantrums. A willingness to set principle aside for the chance to traffic in cash and influence. The string of generic public comments and the private fundraisers with the very wealthy.

It's no wonder she behaves badly when she's under pressure by people to her left. They're often the people who shine a light on her relationship with heavy-hitters on the right.

It's not like the Republican's won't do it ten times worse in the Fall. Dammit, let's have a real race, a real fight for the nomination. Only a fool goes into the ring to box without sparring first.
