Jake Tapper just said Hillary is more hawkish than Bernie, most Democrats....

...and some Republicans!

They were discussing Tulsi Gabbard's discomfort with Hillary's interventionist nature that prompted her to resign from the DNC and endorse Bernie.

My daughter said, "Did he just say that...Wow!"

That is a big thing to say, in my opinion.

Hillary's hawkishness is like the big elephant in the room, that no commentators dare touch. Why, I don't know. Her hawkish record is obvious and very obvious.

Why can't we talk about it?

That's who she is. We should be able to talk about it.

I'm sure Tapper will get a call and a scolding from the Hillary camp.

If you listen to these commentators they discuss how heavily the Hillary camp lobbies and promotes their spin to these commentators--trying to influence how they report.

If I were a commentator, I'd really want to tell them to bug off.

Why is it I can see these things a hundred miles off and I don't have a job yammering out my opinions on national TV?

I wonder how long it takes until he is required to backtrack and say he misspoke? Hillary is the only candidate that has directly caused the deaths of innocents, and has made no indication of stopping.

See, e.g., this disgusting example of Hillary:





That isn't some RW smear, that is her own words and her own utter happiness caught on tape.
