Insulting supporters

[SillyAmerican]

Both assertions are fairly insulting, when you get right down to it. Are they trying to say the same thing, which is "my supporters are dumb enough to support me, no matter what..."?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Um, one is largely borne out with facts, the other is a guy saying he could shoot someone and his supporters are such sheep that they wouldn't change their mind.

Come on.

Really? Ok, answer me this: is there any circumstance that would make you (or any other Clinton backer, for that matter) begin to question the former Secretary? No, really, is it the case that Clinton could have said the exact same thing that Trump did?

This is a serious case of false-equivalence.

If Clinton said something even vaguely similar to Trump she'd be hounded out of the race, I'd be in the front of the line telling her to get out. You've got to realise that people supporting Clinton have actually come to this conclusion as rational and sensible adults. As in, not everyone who supports Hillary is a harping fan boy incapable of self-reflection... just because you don't like it or understand it isn't really the point. I can't see myself supporting Sanders for the nomination, but at least I understand why others do, even if I disagree with the conclusions.

Jesus.

Trump. Not even close.

[Landslide Lyndon]

SillyAmerican is silly.

Both are equally bad.

[PresidentTRUMP]

Both are bad. But i think Trumps is obviously worse...i think.

Did you just make this poll with 2 options in hopes that everyone would choose Clinton and you could bash her?

[Ljube]

Both are equally bad.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Neither is insulting. The first one is an honor. The second one is who care.

[Ebsy]

You're going to have a rough cycle.

One would be homicide, another is a media faux scandal. Tough choice.

Yeah, unless some info in one of those messages led to the death of an asset overseas. Just sayin'...

Per an article Monday (http://www.nationalreview.com/article/430597/hillary-clinton-email-server-former-intelligence-officers-havoc):

“If there really were SAP [special-access programs] material on her server, consider the implications,” a former U.S. intelligence officer tells me. He refers to the “several dozen” messages marked TOP SECRET/SAP that I. Charles McCullough III, inspector general for the intelligence community, reports were on the private server at Clinton’s home in Chappaqua, N.Y., 267 miles north of the State Department. Special-access programs are America’s most clandestine activities. Their revelation could damage national security severely and possibly get people killed.

This veteran thinks that Hillary Clinton cannot have it both ways: She’s either too brilliant to be as innocent as she asserts or too innocent to be as brilliant as she professes.

Sad to see so many "progressives" using right-wing talking points and smear tactics against a fellow "progressive," not that I would expect anything less. Never change, Atlas.
