Give credit where credit is due
Bernie fans are claiming he won. I think this is in part because they received a filtered version of Hillary through the Internet prior to the debate.
Prior to the debate, Bernie fans saw someone who is corporate bought. Someone who is a robot. And they saw Bernie as some flawless liberal God.
Well, he’s not flawless on guns:
So, Bernie, it’s OK that you’ve flip-flopped on guns. Just don’t hit Hillary for taking a bit longer to catch up on some positions. She’s been fighting for American families at the highest levels for the past 30 years. But now she’s ready. She’s ready to fight 100% for progressive values in the 21st Century.
If there’s anything we’ve learned about the Clintons in the last 30 years, it’s that you want them fighting for you. Hillary’s plans and proposals are the most comprehensive and progressive of any candidate to date. Hillary and Bill have results from playing and winning the political game. Republicans know this and are scared of the Clintons getting back into the White House, which is why they have propped up this fake “e-mail” scandal.
But what happened during the debate was fascinating: pundits who have been following the Clintons since the 1990s saw exactly what made the Clintons successful in the 1990s. During the debate, Hillary proved no one does it better than a Clinton. Millennials who have only seen negative YouTube videos of Hillary [and are too young to remember the Clintons during the 1990s] were flabbergasted. How did Hillary out-smart Bernie, the man they thought was going to dominate Clinton during the debate? Well, Hillary is smart. That’s why.
Honestly. I get it. Bernie vs. Hillary is the “David vs. Goliath” story. Americans love to root for the underdog and the far-left hates the establishment. That’s why the left turned their back on the Clintons and refused to vote for Bill Clinton’s vice-president, Al Gore, instead voting for Nader, which gave us Bush. Just think if we had Gore in there after 9/11? Just think how far we would be on global warming? Liberals, please don’t turn your backs on the Clintons again by mangling her up for the general election. Don’t forget what the Clintons are capable of when they are FIGHTING for you.
Hillary helped create and pass the Children’s Health Insurance Program, giving 8+ million children health insurance. Hillary also fought for unions and a higher minimum wage as New York Senator [despite corporate contributions]. And of course she is receiving contributions from Wall St., she represented them as a Senator from New York. They know the economy does better for EVERYONE under a Clinton, just as it did throughout the 1990s.
Incomes rose at all levels during the 1990s.
The Republican Party remembers this very well and Fox News is currently promoting focus groups saying Bernie Sanders "won" the debate, trying to sew discord amongst Democrats. They are doing this because they do not want to fight the Clintons again. And if they do, they want Hillary as “mangled up” as possible:
PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON:
1]“The other party doesn’t want to run against her. And if they do, they’d like her as mangled up as possible.”
2]"I trust the American people. They’ll get this. They’ll work through it. They’ll understand that they’re being sent a heavy signal: We don’t want to run against this woman. Just give us somebody else [Bernie Sanders]. Please.
And so they think the Democratic primary voters will be so overwhelmed they’ll say ‘OK.’”
Hillary is dynamite on stage when she is ripping the GOP on “big government.” Hillary was the only 2016 Democratic candidate to mention Planned Parenthood.
The GOP does not want to face this woman in a general election battle:
Hillary is smart enough to know it takes $$$ to beat $$$, though she and Bill have never forgotten their middle-class roots. Hillary and Bernie voted together in the Senate 93% of the time. Bernie has [virtually] no accomplishments. Hillary has always stood with women, the middle-class, children, the under-privileged – the invisible. Stop the character assassination against Hillary. Haters have been hating since the 1990s. She is ready. Go Hillary Go! #teamCLINTON– The Clintons were a net-positive for Americans.
Bernie fans are claiming the online polls they skewed prove Bernie won the debate. His highest level of support is among those under the age of 30, giving him the ability to dominate social media and online polls. These are not scientific polls. Neither are the focus groups, some of which are propped up by Fox News to sew discord among Democrats to weaken Hillary for a general election battle.
The media is here to stay. So are the pundits. Hillary knows how to be compelling on television. Just envision her in a general election debate with any of the Republicans – she will dominate. No one does stagecraft better than a Clinton, something Obama quickly learned during the 2008 debates. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Complaining and whining about the pundit-class is useless and will only exacerbate relations, making your problem worse.
Bernie Sanders did not win the debate because of unscientific online polls that Bernie's primary demographic flooded. As for Google? Bernie is a new candidate. People know Hillary Clinton. They just needed to be reminded of her greatness:
