Related: About this forumWho has the better argument, Chuck Grassley or Hillary Clinton, re: Supreme Court?
There's a post up in DU where Chuck Grassley responds to Hillary Clinton regarding the GOP's blockade of President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, as captured at this link:

With all the troubles shes getting on e-mail, and the FBIs going to question her, I would imagine shed want to change the tone of her campaign, Grassley (R-Iowa) told POLITICO in an interview here. He was apparently referring to a Los Angeles Times story Monday that indicated an FBI investigation of the private email server she used as secretary of state is entering a final phase that will include interviews with her advisers.
Curiously, there's a split in the reaction to this.
Maybe I'm out of touch in my thinking about how people at Democratic Underground should react.
Who has the better argument? Which is more persuasive.

I believe that.
Oh, my bad, I see what you are doing, you are trying to trick them into admitting it.

(13,390 posts)But, it's not HRC's fight and she is exploiting it to invoke the typical sexism, Benghazzi!, VRC, that brings out her defenders who will justify even the most ridiculous lapses in judgement. Being a member of the senate, Bernie has standing to weigh in on what his colleagues do. HRC is a private citizen and has no standing to wade into this controversy. The only reason to do so is to turn attention to herself.

(13,390 posts)I said her only reason to do so is to make it about her. I think it is a faulty strategy to try to hijack a serious controversy and make it about her.
