Bernie needs us to pass the word and help get the voters to the polls. It's worth your time to watch and share...

[wendylaroux]

TOP DEFINITION
pull a clinton

2. Creating new definitions in your mind so you can always tell the whole truth about anything all of the time.
3. To tell an old truth and make it sound like a new truth.

10. whoa!

[reformist2]

62. Oops! The ad was created on 6/4/16....very embarrassing for all involved.

[morningfog]

2. There were posters here who were claiming that she had enough super delegates privately committed

and could pull the trigger when ever she wanted. THe posts were sometime over the past few weeks, but I can't find them.

[jzodda]

3. Come on....She didnt want this

Its not good news before CA primary. It could cause her supporters to stay home because it becomes meaningless.

What possible good would it do her campaign for this to come out 12 hours before the final primaries?

[JudyM]

18. Really? Think some more.

[jzodda]

22. What's there to think about?

There is no way to fight off nutty conspiracy theorists. Ten more days till all the tin hatters and Bernie bros go bye bye.

[JudyM]

24. .

[Fuddnik]

30. Oh, you can go bye-bye right now.

[lumberjack_jeff]

55. "More"? n/t

[Silver_Witch]

31. Then why did she do it? To explain a loss???

[TDale313]

46. Oh, of course the campaign oked this

Those Supers did not go to the AP saying they supported her (and just the right number to put her over) on the eve of an important primary day without the campaign's ok. No way, no how. This was planned, this was timed. Why? Because the Clinton camp really, really wants to win California and does not want the embarrassment of a loss here. This supresses the turnout, which by all accounts favors them. Could it backfire? Yes. But this was no friggin' coincidence.

[Lord Magus]

48. Get serious. No of course they didn't go to the AP. The AP went to them.

Do you have the slightest idea how journalism works?

And the reality is, lower turnout favors Bernie. One word: caucuses.

[JudyM]

51. It gives her perfect cover for her loss... None of her voters thought it was necessary to vote...

IT was perfectly timed to discredit a win in CAli by Sanders.

[tonyt53]

5. She knew how this past weekend was going to end. Everybody not in a bubble did.

She knew she would be mere votes away and NJ was all but a given. Even Bernie admitted that. Smart girl? Nah, naive girl is more like it. Hillary was prepared, just like she is to be President.

[Trust Buster]

6. Campaigns are designed to respond quickly. I think you're reading too much into it.

[JudyM]

20. Uh huh. So she has all these huge media backers and she didn't know. So it's "secret" from her.

Come on, now.

[LexVegas]

7. Pssst....we all knew it was coming....in March. nt

[NurseJackie]

15. Yes we did!

[bettyellen]

27. There were tons of reports over the weekend it could happen because of PR and VI. I knew.

[LexVegas]

29. People are acting like this is a close race. Its puzzling. nt

[Dem2]

8. Lol

[randome]

9. Of course she knew it. Most of us here knew it, too.

Sanders never had a chance. He did no groundwork, had no support in Congress, and joined the Democratic Party at the last minute, expecting to be treated as a savior. Those are the 'tactics' of someone who didn't know what he was getting into.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Stop looking for heroes. BE one.[/center][/font][hr]

[peace13]

25. And once again she does not speak out against it.

It would have been so easy for her to say thanks but no thanks. We are going to play this thing out tomorrow in CA. She would have looked like a....president. But no, she sits back and collects whatever they can steal for her!

[apcalc]

37. She actually had a perfect response....

what she did say was essentially
'flattered AP, but we have primaries to win tomorrow'.

[avaistheone1]

34. But her sycophants swore up and down on numerous DU threads yesterday she knew nothing about it.

Clinton followers are easily fooled.

[geek tragedy]

63. 9 days, but no one's forcing you to stay that long nt

[HumanityExperiment]

12. ...timing...

welcome to the clinton machine 2.0

expect more of the same from the entrenched establishment and HRC

progressive / liberal principles are the ultimate casualty here

[Dr Hobbitstein]

13. The AP probably did make the graphic 2 days ago.

They were most likely planning on using it tonight.

I worked in graphic design and TV broadcast and advertising production. Graphics like that are made ahead of time.

[Renew Deal]

16. CNN posted a bunch of premature obituaries a few years ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_premature_obituaries#The_CNN.com_incident

[Dr Hobbitstein]

19. Exactly.

They do these things way ahead of time. So they can thoroughly spell check, fact check, and make sure things look proper WELL before they go live. There are those who will see a conspiracy everywhere they look, however.

[joshcryer]

35. It's a screenshot of this tweet, Dr:

https://twitter.com/AP/status/739975278483656705

The file names are intentionally labeled to fuck with people. Think of it as an Easter egg of someone in the design department.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

54. Ahh, I see that now. I thought it was just the graphic from the orignal tweet,

not the screenshot of the tweet. I looked again. Still, nothing nefarious.

[bettyellen]

32. I worked at a magazine and forget the name of it but yeah they had a list of people who's obits they

Had ready to go. Older folks, those known to have bad drug problems, etc.

[LiberalFighter]

49. They need to use a different photo. One with him as Darth Vader.

[joshcryer]

26. It's a screenshot of a tweet.

Someone in the graphics department is being cheeky as fuck and people are falling for it.

[1StrongBlackMan]

45. I know ... I was wondering what the OP was trying to demonstrate, there ...

I saw someone making a claim and a bunch of people asking for confirmation ... but nothing confirming the claim.

But since I am unfamiliar with Twitter ... maybe, I missed something.

[joshcryer]

47. The URL is 100% real.

If you put it in your browser it's a direct screenshot of the AP's Twitter post.

Look at the URL: a.hrc.onl/imageman/2016_Q2-Email/20160605_hfa_graphic/secret-win-V2-060416c_02.png

"secret-win-V2-060416c_02.png"

There are only two logical explanations: The Clinton camp has control over the AP's Twitter account, countless workers at the AP making this call, and graphics designers at the AP's twitter department.

Or the Clinton folks purposefully embedded a cheekily named URL in the email just to fuck with people. They can easily say it was a "typo" (because on the number pad 4 is right under 7), but because every single other image in the email has the same typo (add 01-08 to the end of the URL), they would've had to have noticed it. It was 100% intentional.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

56. Yes, I see that now.

I was thinking that the picture she was railing against was the original graphic that AP posted (which could've been made a couple days out), not the screenshot. Still, it's funny as hell. Many will see conspiracies where none exist.

[Renew Deal]

14. Why shouldn't they celebrate victory?

And they have graphics people on staff. It's an easy image to create.

The news doesn't make Sanders any more presidential. But whining about it makes him less presidential.

[seabeyond]

17. Do you know Sanders was left in the dark. Do you know anything but dissing our Democratic candidate?

[peace13]

21. Wow!

Love that there is proof. It was clear before that this is how the Hill camp rolls but it is nice that there is proof. She is a thief and an untruthful person as it turns out. And this....on the eve of CA.

To the Hill folk that don't understand. Last night she tried to take the wind out of the sail. To discourage people from going to vote pretending it was a predetermined election. To steal the election by stopping the process. If the MSM can get away with this you have to ask yourself what other things can the corporations get away with, with Clinton's consent. Imagine going to the bank one day and having the bank tell you you can only have half of your money. They have decided to change the rule, steal your money like they tried to steal people's votes. Oh boy now you feel it. You know what it feels like to have YOUR money stolen. Seriously people it is past time to wake up. Hillary is the machine and it is not going to work for you........e...v...e...r.........

[apcalc]

39. She didn't do it. AP did it.

Why would she want to depress turnout and have her big day today pre-emptied? That makes no sense at all.

[peace13]

44. Mmmhmmm.

The end of the day will tell. I appreciate your comment.

[joshcryer]

23. Heh heh, Clinton's graphic people fucking with you all.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. This is like watching a Fellini film on acid.

[joshcryer]

33. Like how the fuck are they going to get this image 2 days before it happened?

https://twitter.com/AP/status/739975278483656705

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. This board would bring William of Ockham to tears.

[Vattel]

58. I think Clinton generally doesn't multiply lies beyond necessity.

So I doubt there was anything nefarious here.

[CrowCityDem]

36. Wait, her campaign was prepared for something that was bound to happen? Conspiracy!!!

[Proud Public Servant]

52. ^^^ This ^^^

Any campaign that DIDN'T have a template ready to go when the inevitable announcement came is an amateur operation. And Hillary has not been running an amateur operation.

[rjsquirrel]

38. Obviously

Anyone could see that with only a few more SDs needed that the press would vie for the scoop.

But go ahead and launch more conspiracy theories. They'll keep you warm in Novenver.

[hrmjustin]

41. Conspiracy!

[UglyGreed]

42. Well Chris Matthew let the cat

out of bag but he was off by a day..........

[MyNameGoesHere]

43. Of course she knew it since March like the rest

Of the sane world.

[Lord Magus]

50. People need to stop acting like this was a close race.

It wasn't. It's been obvious since March that a Sanders victory was becoming increasingly unlikely by the day. The only genuine uncertainty was exactly when the 2383rd delegate would come.

[onenote]

53. Am I the only one that noticed the absurdly bogus graphic showing Sanders with an enormous lead

in the Marist poll? I've searched high and low and I can find no evidence that the Marist poll ever reported that Sanders had the enormous lead shown in that graphic.

Seems like some over-active Sanders supporters have been busy creating fake screen shots.

[Demsrule86]

57. sure...more lies and conspiracy baloney

[JoePhilly]

59. Everyone knew it was coming.

[AmBlue]

60. CHEATER.

I can never vote for her.

[MohRokTah]

61. BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[gollygee]

64. Of course she knew it was coming

The question would have been when, not if.
