Hillary Clinton has had enough of Bernie Sanders
"In an exclusive interview for POLITICO's 'Off Message' podcast, the former secretary of state compares Donald Trump to foreign demagogues and says she's not even sure her primary opponent is a Democrat."
THOUGHTS:
1. The candidate whose aides describe her as 'often confused' is extremely 'slow' but she eventually catches on.... She has finally figured out that the SELF-PROFESSED SOCIALIST may not be a 'Democrat', making her quite possibly the last person in America, quite possibly on the face of the planet, who doesn't know Sanders is a Socialist.
2. Bernie begins to catch up to Hillary during her run for the President and Bernie's identity (being a 'Democrat') is suddenly questions. I can not help but notice the similarities between now and 2008: Hillary's opponent begins closing in and suddenly their identity is questions, except in Obama's case it was whether he was an American or not, not whether he was a Socialist or not (which had already been semi-proven).
*NOTE: Notice I did NOT claim Hillary made that accusation in 2008, just that such a 'challenge' was made sorta 'on her behalf'.
-------------
Did she think Sanders is a real Democrat?
“Well, I can’t answer that,” she said with a smile. Then she proceeded to answer the question. “He’s a relatively new Democrat, and, in fact, I’m not even sure he is one. He’s running as one. So I don’t know quite how to characterize him.”
She was ticked off — already factoring in an inevitable loss in Wisconsin Tuesday —and was in a rare mood of public introspection, so a sit-down that was supposed to last a half-hour but ran nearly 20 minutes over time so she could more fully explain herself to a public that often views her with suspicion.

Sander's Biggest 'Sin' According to Hillary:
1. Letting People Know About Her History and Record (or LACK of One - Feinstein couldn't find any)
2. His Attacking Slick Willy & Obama INSTEAD OF ATTACKING BUSH (Who hasn't been President for almost a decade)
“There is a persistent, organized effort to misrepresent my record, and I don’t appreciate that, and I feel sorry for a lot of the young people who are fed this list of misrepresentations,” Clinton said, a few minutes after talking herself hoarse at a rally here. “I know that Senator Sanders spends a lot of time attacking my husband, attacking President Obama. I rarely hear him say anything negative about George W. Bush, who I think wrecked our economy.”
The only ones who have made a persistent, organized effort to misrepresent Hillary's record have been Hillary and her 'team'. IF Trump wins the nomination they are going to have their hands FULL when he starts dragging all the 'scandals, skeletons, and dead bodies' out of her 'closet'.
As I said earlier....
As with all of Clinton’s fights, this one has echoes of an earlier battle – not from the still fresh memories of the 2008 campaign, but from the formative experience of her 2000 Senate run...
............
As 2016 heated up, Clinton’s staff had urged her to admit something that was readily apparent to reporters who covered her: For all her resilience and brains, she’s been an inconsistent and sometimes unlikeable campaigner incapable of inspiring a crowd the way Sanders, Barack Obama or Bill Clinton can.
------------
Hillary is suddenly having FLASHBACKS and NIGHTMARES of 2008, when the Community Organizer & 1/2-a-term Senator came out of nowhere and passed her, leaving her furiously in the dust. Another Bernie victory, another rise in Hillary's Blood Pressure, another bead of sweat on her brow, another sleepless night....Hillary is not only getting mad - she's getting SCARED.
