To those who say she is taking a stance about Marijuana because Sanders

did this past week. Let's be clear about this.

First of all, what she said today at the Town Hall meeting, she pretty much said the same over a year ago.

So let's just stop with claims that she is only saying this stuff, or only now discussing the issue because Sanders said something about it this past week.

This video is from over a year ago.

on a listening tour, guess who did that first. She does not need to follow Sanders, with her numbers being high and his has sank, I would be following the candidate who is in the lead, well that is Clinton, she is doing well on the campaign trail.

Hence the attacks by proxy on Obama and even Obamacare....it is laughably transparent why.

"But, but I had that position first!".....so no one else can have it?....is childish.

Notice Obama has no concern about anyone taking his position on anything, first or last or ever!

Hill had a chicken salad sandwich for lunch yesterday, and Bernie had the identical sandwich six weeks ago.

Apparently, she copies everything he does.

Where was Senator Sanders (I-VT)?

He didn't think about anybody running until 2012?

...when they turn eighteen. He made a big deal about it during the MSNBC Forum with Rachael Maddow--causing his attending fans to cheer at his new wonderful plan.
Funny thing, though, it sounds a whole lot like Hillary's plan she detailed openly months ago--proposing federal legislation to automatically register citizens to vote when they turn eighteen and adding a mandate of twenty days of early voting.
You know how he likes to say he was there first, but in this case, as in others, he can't--or better not! His followers probably will, though.
