2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHey David Brock, Go F yourself! "Bernie Breakers 2016"
What sort of presidential candidate launches a full on assault of online trolls in order to protect her image (which ironically is already permanently damaged)? Hillary, that's who. And before any of her supporters on here come racing in to protect her as well, please don't try to feed us shit and say "this isn't Hillary, this is Brock" because we fully know damn well that she has a play in this.
You know, shit like this is one reason why I will NEVER support Hillary.
Every week it's something new. This just adds more fuel to my conviction that Bernie is the correct choice!
Get bent and go pound sand David Brock, you're scum.
TASK FORCE WILL HELP CLINTON SUPPORTERS PUSH BACK ON ONLINE HARASSMENT AND THANK

Brock has been an irritant to O'Reilly. He will be an asset in the GE.

That fact still does not change.
And after weeks of you posting OPs saying you'll NEVER NEVER NEVER vote for her ... we get it all ready.

(5,761 posts)Who the hell do you think you're kidding Joe?
Do you honestly believe that? Hillary could tell her SuperPAC to "knock it off" just like she did with Wall Street & what do you think they'd do? They'd listen of course.
Don't be so obtuse, even when it's intentional.

Must be very disappointing.
pinebox
(5,761 posts)and yet people still support her. You would be correct in your assertion.
Sanders was invited to speak at the Vatican and Clinton was invited to speak to the FBI.

(26,549 posts)The FEC has explicitly ruled on SuperPACs regarding TV, radio and print. The FEC has not explicitly ruled on SuperPACs that only use the Internet to communicate.
Because there is no explicit ruling, the Clinton campaign and Correct the Record are coordinating directly.
They announced they were doing so a year ago, so I can totally understand why you'd not yet caught up.
JoePhilly
(27,787 posts)And how's Bernie's donation scandal coming along?
jeff47
(26,549 posts)Also, your insistence that they are not coordinating means that you are calling both the Clinton campaign and Correct the Record liars. They did, after all, say they were coordinating directly.
So why should we not believe their own words?

(38,613 posts)Hillary Clintons campaign plans to work in tight conjunction with an independent rapid-response group financed by unlimited donations, another novel form of political outsourcing that has emerged as a dominant practice in the 2016 presidential race.
On Tuesday, Correct the Record, a pro-Clinton rapid-response operation, announced it was splitting off from its parent American Bridge and will work in coordination with the Clinton campaign as a stand-alone super PAC. The groups move was first reported by the New York Times.
That befuddled many campaign finance experts, who noted that super PACs, by definition, are political committees that solely do independent expenditures, which cannot be coordinated with a candidate or political party. Several said the relationship between the campaign and the super PAC would test the legal limits.
But Correct the Record believes it can avoid the coordination ban by relying on a 2006 Federal Election Commission regulation that declared that content posted online for free, such as blogs, is off limits from regulation. The Internet exemption said that such free postings do not constitute campaign expenditures, allowing independent groups to consult with candidates about the content they post on their sites. By adopting the measure, the FEC limited its online jurisdiction to regulating paid political ads.
The rules totally exempt individuals who engage in political activity on the Internet from the restrictions of the campaign finance laws. The exemption for individual Internet activity in the final rules is categorical and unqualified, then-FEC Chairman Michael E. Toner said at the time, according to a 2006 Washington Post story. The regulation protects Internet activities by individuals in all forms, including e-mailing, linking, blogging, or hosting a Web site," said Toner, now a prominent Republican campaign finance attorney.

(5,761 posts)Hey we aren't the ones who bought into a modern day version of a cigarette ad from the 50s.
We're actually winning and do you know why that is? We've transformed the party, forever.
You think this is simply about Bernie? It isn't. It's a movement of the people, by the people and for the people.
That's something you can bank on.

(5,725 posts)Ross Perot actually won 19% of the GE vote in 1992. Bernie isn't even in the same stratosphere as Ross.
Bernie will be in the same historical company as Eugene McCarthy and Gary Hart.

(5,761 posts)whom I voted for BTW and who incidentally helped elect Clinton.
What you don't understand is this---the younger generation is going to rule the roost as boomers fade. They are already the largest voting block in America and never before has a generation made LESS than their parents until now.
Now you think about that. If you ignore the fire you're going to get "Berned".
Which of the candidates you mentioned had their own version of liberals challenging incumbents?
Tim Canova > DWS. And there's a LOT more. See, that's a movement.

(2,262 posts)When your unfavorables are as high as hers, she should be trying to make friends and positively influence people. Instead, she associates herself with a known info sniper who has zero credibility after the Anita Hill destruction, when Brock too was a Republican.
The saying, "You are who you associate with." Speaks volumes about someone who expected to be nominated with little to no effort. But due to her own stumbles along the career path, she now had to resort to slime merchants. (And I'm not even counting Blankfein, Kissenger, and her other bros.)
