Has anyone noticed what you HAVEN'T heard lately?

You haven't heard someone report from "sources" that the Clinton campaign is panicking.

You also haven't heard a story where a Clinton campaign staffer is backstabbing the candidate or another staffer for making the wrong decisions.

The campaign has a plan and they're sticking to it. If they're not afraid, neither am I.

2. As Mika (a huge Elizabeth Warren fan) said, you are "depending on people not being smart."

Scarborough said the Clinton campaign’s strategy relied on their supporters blocking out all other negative news, which even his liberal co-host agreed with. “This is a strategy that is basically dependent on people not being smart, which I think is really condescending,” Brzezinski said.

“Let’s back up to whether or not having your own server at your home and then based out of the bathroom in Colorado was policy,” she said. “Was it? Can anyone here at the table tell me that she followed policy? Look me in the eye and tell me that she followed policy and didn’t break rules.”

What's to worry about?

There is nothing to this e-mail mess other than Howdy Gowdy being unethical

5. What about the 'sources' on the Internets that make shit up?

'Obama is urging Biden to run because Hillary's campaign is imploding.'

'Hillary is failing because she is going to be indicted for her email related crimes.'

'The Bushes and Clintons are colluding to get one or the other of them in office.'


These would be 'sources' originating at 'Democratic' Underground.

Really much of anything from the Clinton campaign.

She still seems to be trying to run a campaign without anyone hearing about it.

Her voting rights policy?

Her criminal justice reform policy?

Her economic reform policy?

It was in all the papers...

She is as well positioned to win the nomination and ultimately the general election as anyone in a long time.

She is well setup to be the first female President of the United States in HISTORY.

Why would she panic? If anybody is prepared for non-stop attacks, she is ... going back over a quarter-century.

As I pointed out the Sanders supporters yesterday who claimed she wasn't a serious candidate ( ), just saying something doesn't make it true.
