She said that if Hillary could stand on her own merit, she wouldn't need to resort to dirty tricks. She was really disgusted with Hillary's behavior during the debate.

Bernie points out the difference between them in terms of their voting records (including things Hillary championed as First Lady and Secretary of State) and where their money comes from. She has no good response other than to try to steal Bernie's issues and try to drive up Bernie's negatives with smears.

And I don't have to give her special deference if I refer to my own candidate by his first name.

If your news comes from this forum you wouldn't currently be aware that both are really having a pretty positive primary. The Democratic Party is really distinguishing itself from the republicans.

Both candidates are drawing distinction. It's always a part of the process. It should be.

Who can really get excited about her policies? And she is not a very inspiring speaker either. But she knows dirty politics.

What good is her years of experience if she has not developed good judgement from all of those years of experience?

Iraq and Libya are the perfect examples. She keeps saying the Iraq vote was a mistake and she has learned from it, but yet she is the one that got us involved in Libya. Almost the exact same type of circumstances. Killing off a dictator and leaving a vacuum in his place. Where is the learning from her years of experience. It is no where to be found.

Either it is incompetence or she war mongering imperialism. Neither are good choices.
