Sometimes the diaries write themselves. Bill Clinton, whose wife, Hillary, has run a campaign almost entirely devoid of specifics (e.g. we’ll expand Obamacare to 100% — no plan as to how), has declared that Bernie is running a “fact-free” campaign.
Sanders, whose campaign site is deluged with details, including where practically every penny for his programs will come from, is fact-free? Hahahahaha! In Clintonville, north is south, and up is down, apparently!
First, let’s get to the REAL reason Bill is cranky:
"Now, There's been a lot of passion in this primary, and it's fine with me — Hillary's opponent jumped all over me last night, talked about how bad I'd been for African Americans and poor people."" Clinton said, referring to Thursday night's MSNBC/Telemundo town hall.
Welfare-reform, anyone? NAFTA?
Then Bill goes into destroy mode, damn the reality, as is his habit:
"Let me just say this," Clinton said, "that campaign has been remarkably fact free and a lot of the numbers don't add up."
And then, does this sound familiar (Obama, 2008, anyone?):
"I mean, you know, give me a break," Clinton said.
Dangit! Didn’t finish it with a “This is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen”? Damn.
Maybe next time, Bill?
