In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton Tells Greenpeace Activist She's ‘Sick of the Sanders Campaign Lying About Me’ [View all]malthaussen
(18,399 posts)We may differ as to the provenance of the donations. "Lobbyists who just happen to represent oil companies inter alios" handing money out of their own pockets and not from their clients is certainly possible, but one might be reasonably skeptical that there was no connection depending on the size of said contributions.
Nevertheless, implying that a Greenpeace representative is a stooge for the Sanders campaign is at best a diversion... and the candidate avoids answering the question by such misdirection. "Have you stopped beating your wife yet" questions are easily handled with the simple statement "I never have beaten her."
Mrs Clinton is burdened with the "Ceasar's wife" dilemma in spades. If, as her supporters insist, this has been the case for years, then the candidate should be prepared for it, and not allow frustration and aggravation to take control of her tongue... or finger.
