Will Hillary Clinton's attacks help her?

"I wish that we could elect a Democratic president who could wave a magic wand and say, ‘We shall do this, and we shall do that.’ That ain’t the real world we’re living in!”

“The skies will open, the light will come down, celestial choirs will be singing and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect,” she said archly in Providence, R.I. “Maybe I’ve just lived a little long, but I have no illusions about how hard this is going to be. You are not going to wave a magic wand and have the special interests disappear!”

HRC needs to revive this!

The Clinton v. Sanders dynamic is interesting because both candidates are almost universally liked by primary voters.  Its really a contest of priorities.  Clinton supporters are pragmatic, or even cynical.  Sanders supporters are idealistic, or even naive.

Clinton isn't going to get voters to dislike Sanders.  What she needs to do is change the mindset of the electorate.  She needs people to vote with their head, not with their heart.

She needs to remind people how hard it was to get Obamacare passed, even with a Democratic supermajority.  She needs to point out just how dysfunctional congress is, how it can barely pass a budget each year.  Her message should be that it takes more than hope to enact change, and she doesn't want the next president to have to learn the lessons of the past 8 years all over again. 

You nailed it. Why isn't this the chatter in the Clinton circles. They come off as the adversary. SMH

That's pretty rich coming from someone who happens to be nearly the worst poster on Atlas.
