Wishing, hoping, praying for indictment

[boston bean]

So you can hold onto the dream/delusion of Bernie Sanders being the nominee...

Sad, pathetic, and many other not good things.

[YouDig]

1. It is a sad sight. Also sad that they are quoting things like WSJ and Steve Forbes

in their prayers to the email fairy. They are hitting rock bottom these days.

[geek tragedy]

2. 15 more days of it, until this becomes an anti-Trump site

instead of an anti-Clinton one

4. we're multi-taskers...we can handle both!

26. +1

8. What a glorious day that will be! nt

[NurseJackie]

3. Earworm ... Thanks!

I'm not complaining, there are many earworms that are annoying, but this Dionne Warwick song is not one of them.

[boston bean]

6. And the OP was alerted upon, as a vicious attack on Bernie supporters.

LOL

If they had listed bad ear worm as the reason, it might have succeeded! hahaha

[NurseJackie]

7. Ha!

[Jack Bone]

5. no delusion...

de·lu·sion.
[dəˈlo͞oZHən]
NOUN
1.an idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of mental disorder:


there are rational arguments in favor of an indictment...in fact, after the State Dept IG report. some may conclude that it's a given.


carry on

[boston bean]

9. Seems to pretty much fit.

Although I don't think it is due to a mental disorder.

Just partisan Hillary hate.

[Surya Gayatri]

10. H_D_S - The symptoms are unmistakable.

[boston bean]

11. So true.

What we are all suppose to believe that the hope for an indictment is anything but an attack on our nominee?

[Surya Gayatri]

13. A-friggin'-men!

» » "nothing but an attack on our nominee"...

[Jack Bone]

31. I KNOW!! Maybe we can call it "Justice" nt

[betsuni]

12. Anyone lusting after indictment is a weirdo.

[frylock]

23. Anyone who thinks people are "lusting" for indictment is a weirdo.

[MoonRiver]

28. Or a Republican

Oh wait...

[morningfog]

14. I hope there is no indictment.

I sincerely hope that Hillary is not so self centered that she would fuck the party and the county in blind pursuit of self advancement. I truly hope there is no indictment for her or any of her staff.

[B Calm]

15. +1 great post!

[Gothmog]

16. It is sad seeing many Sanders supporters hope for indictment

[boston bean]

18. It's really pathetic, imho. nt

[hootinholler]

17. Honest assessment of reality beats wishing, hoping, praying

That this will all blow over.

I won't attempt to speak for others, but as to myself, I find it shameful that someone under a serious investigation would be nominated.

[ancianita]

19. As a Berner I have vociferously argued that NO indictiment is coming down, nor should be.

I've argued it with anyone who raises their anti-Hillary head around here.

[seabeyond]

21. Thank you for speaking out. I had another Sander supporter say the same. I really had not heard

a lot of Sanders supporter say this, and I really appreciated hearing it. This I can respect. So, thank you for saying it again, so we know, this is not consistent with all Sanders supporters. It is showing an unfavorable light and I wouldn't want that albatross either.

[Marr]

33. I'm a Sanders supporter, and I think she should be indicted if it's warranted.

I would feel the same way if it were Sanders instead of Clinton. I want the law to apply to everyone, insofar as it ever does.

You don't?

[seabeyond]

20. Pathetic. The only way for a win is at the expense of another. In sports, it would be like

hoping that a person who excelled, worked that much harder, perfected their talent, got an injury so the less able was capable of getting a win. It is pathetic.

[frylock]

22. I think I'm going to enjoy your emotional breakdown most of all.

[Avalux]

24. It's not about whether or not there will be an indictment.

As evidenced, Hillary can't give a straight answer about her email server problems. Every time she opens her mouth, it's another lie. It's horrifying to me that, after having so many advantages and a vast support infrastructure for this primary, she is limping along, a victim of herself.

Sad, pathetic, and many other not good things.

[libtodeath]

35. Plus headed into November with ready made TV ads surrounding her.

[MoonRiver]

25. At least on DU, we will be free from haters in 15 days!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

27. She should be indicted...if she broke the law.

Don't you think so?

[Agnosticsherbet]

29. I think Dusty Springfield sang a song about this, back in the day.

[Vinca]

30. The indictment almost doesn't matter.

If she's indicted it's a nightmare. If she's not the right will convince everyone Obama put the fix in. Hillary shouldn't have been so stupid in her practices.

[Marr]

32. Refusing to acknowledge that it's an actual, real possibility is childish. /nt

[libtodeath]

34. How about not having a candidate carrying that baggage into the GE?

[democrattotheend]

36. I'm not wishing, hoping, or praying for indictment

Yes, I would much rather have Bernie as our candidate than Hillary, and I think in a lot of ways he is a stronger candidate. But with an open Supreme Court seat at stake and a Republican nominee who scares the crap out of me, I certainly am not hoping that Hillary is indicted. An indictment would throw the party into chaos and significantly increase the likelihood of Trump becoming president, especially if it happens after the convention.

Of course, if she is going to be indicted, which I think is unlikely, I certainly hope it happens sooner rather than later.

Based on my own limited experience with how outdated the federal government's technology policies are, I don't think she did anything that terrible, and I am kind of sympathetic. But she really needs to do a better job of handling it and putting it behind her. I am concerned that her handling of it thus far has only solidified the narrative that she is untrustworthy. The reason some Bernie voters say they would vote for Trump, as strange as that seems to us, is probably because a lot of voters are less issue-based and care more about having a president who is honest, and fairly or not, Hillary gets lower marks on that than either Bernie or Trump from the majority of voters.
