2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWon't criticize Clinton's temper -- But she ought to be careful about attacking environmentalists
She'll be opening a huge can of worms if she claims that she has no ties or support from the fossil fuel industry....Especially if she claims Sanders is lying about it.
Too much loose paper floating around to get away with that one.
And the optics of attacking the environmental movement look reallllllllly bad....unless she is angling for the anti-environmental Climate Change Denier voters.

I think she wants to be viewed as pro and anti fracking depending on the area.

(14,177 posts)That is approximately 1000 more than what that video had less than 45 minutes ago. I don't think this is going to go away very soon if ever. Oh and I put it on my calendar that NBC commented that "She lost it" or words to that effect in commentary on that video. I didn't see it myself I don't watch TV news, I saw it on another thread.

Corporate campagin donations and other perqs from corporations became more important than people.

(39,961 posts)they were donations from individuals that work for the fossil fuel industry. She realized right then that she was screwed - that's why she started yelling at the Greenpeace activist about Bernie Sanders and "lies" from his supporters (which that young lady claimed affiliation with no one but Greenpeace).
Politician 101 - if you get tripped up, change the subject. The problem is she put her finger in that young woman's face and accused the young woman of being a Sanders supporter and accused the Sanders campaign of telling lies.
It is a bald, well known fact that she accepts money from both lobbyists, donations to her SuperPACs and corporate money from all aspects of the fossil fuel industry and to call that a "lie" is big fat lie in itself. It didn't help that she laid into the young woman with the shouting and finger pointing because Clinton got tripped up by the truth and was pissed at herself for it.

(12,689 posts)She didn't call any names, she just said she was sick of the BS going around. It's really a stretch to call this one exchange an attack on the entire environmental movement.

(84,711 posts)Unless she's trying to Outdo Trump attacking people in the audience...I'd say she's either very worried about the Poll Numbers or Comey calling her in for Deposition for her Server/E-Mail Situation that has been reported about the last week as coming to a conclusion in investigation.

(23,720 posts)However, the corporation that I worked for often aggressively encouraged it's employees to donate to the corporation's preferred candidate. Also, the Clinton Foundation has been the recipient of donations.
Still no excuse for losing it like she did.
You know that it has been said that sudden outbursts of anger is a symptom of early dementia?
