Best way to "take out" Clinton?

That's the thing: She already can't win the nomination. She does not have the delegates, and there are only one, maybe two more states at best she can even win, let alone gain delegates with. And she'll lose pretty much all the rest, some by huge margins, and fall even farther behind. And she's not going to get the entire remaining superdelegates. She might not get another one at all. So she doesn't need to be taken out. She's just seems to be far too delusional to admit it.

@Smith

Well I know more about editing and video than fact check. That's for sure.

From what I can tell their strength is looking not into technical matters like this, but in, well, fact checking people's statements and public history for inconsistencies. Statements of fact, not technological issues.

Smith...

Ahhh! She's "delusional." I never thought of that. When do you think this happened?

Hard to tell. Probably when she went and celebrated her 'victory' in Florida.

I got that "take out" phrase from you when you were answering Juliebird in another thread.

Yes, where I was explaining that I feel that Clinton is on a scorched earth policy, intending to destroy the democrats so she can run in four years.

To tell you the truth, I was beginning to wonder if you had more direct action in mind.

Yeah, of course I did. I'm a man right? All I know is violence. I just have sooo much testosterone running through my veins that I just can't use my brain.

I mean when an hysterical female of post menopausal age begins to think she has a chance with Florida and some superdelegates -- well she just must be crazy!

Hey, you bring in the gender and menopause and the hysteria. And thank you, I was wondering when someone was going to point out, yet again, for the millionth time, that she is a woman. I almost forgot. Its so helpful that Clinton seems to mention it just about every other sentence, like some sort of a crutch.

But hey, her delusional mentality has nothing to do with her gender. Not for me. All I said is she is fooling herself if she thinks she'll be able to go to the convention and get the superdelegates to overtake Obama's pledged delegate lead. Or get anyone to change the rules for Florida or Michigan just for her benefit.

@tomhayes

Hey, I use video editng, and I edit videos. I've even been paid to do it. Am I serious down to the bone techie like the people at ILM? Of course not. Very few people are.

I would like to see someone talk in detail with a professional video editor too. I could very well be wrong, according to their advanced knowledge. And I could accept that. But as far as I my understanding about this goes, the explanations I've heard about this do not make sense.

Good night Smith

The plot thickens! Do you think she intends to run on another party's ticket after she has destroyed the Democrats? Are you one of those people who think she is really a Republican?

Hey, anything's possible. She'd run as a nazi if she thought it would win her Ohio again.

I look forward to more patronizing nonsense and slander from you later.

She just resigned

Unfortunate, but she seems to have chosen to fall on her sword over Clinton's little fit.

At least she did it before Clinton turned this into yet another angle on 'sexism'.

Original article: Obama advisor Power resigns

Now just to be clear...

There is no way that Samantha Powers calling Hillary a monster is in any way sexist, right?

Sometimes its hard to tell what Clinton will claim is an attack on her gender.

Again, I just want to be clear...

This is in fact not something the Clinton campaign is claiming is a sexist remark, right? So somebody said something mean about her that for the very first time she's not claiming is based on her being a woman.

Well that just leaves me terribly confused.

@Kcm

Best comeback I've heard all week.

@KateTex and ProudTexasGirl

Ladies;

You both seem excessively biased towards Clinton. Do either of you see this monster bit as a sexist attack? I'm just checking here. Because this whole somebody attacking or saying something mean about Clinton who is not being sexist thing confuses me. And I would imagine if neither of you two feel the need to lean on this gender crutch I just have no idea what to think about it.

I thought that and "it's the GOP's fault" are her default responses to everything that isn't flattering.
