With attacks on Clinton, Democratic race enters new phase

It is from AP. Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley are attacking Hillary Clinton. This should get more interesting.  :lmao:  :rotf: :rofl:

Darn... I missed the first couple of debates; but if there is actually going to be some mud-slinging going on against Clinton, I just may tune in.   :yahoo:

I agree with Rand Paul. (http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/259486-paul-rubio-and-hillary-the-same-person)

“I see her (Hillary) and Rubio as being the same person.  They both want a no-fly zone. They both have supported activity in Libya, the war in Libya that toppled [Libyan prime minister] Gaddafi, an intervention that made us less safe.”
“They both have supported the Iraq War, so, I mean, what’s the difference?” 
He said Clinton is the candidate for president most likely to start a new war and described her as a “neoconservative.”

 
I respect that another poster was offended by the word necon, & I'm sorry if others don't appreciate its usage.  Yet, I find it useful as a descriptive. (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/neoconservative) I'll go 1 step further & say that the definition fits not only Hillary & Marco, but extends to progressives & the GOPe.

This is an interesting twist.  The Dems are feeling threatened by Rubio's surge. (http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/259613-clinton-allies-set-sights-on-newly-surging-rubio)

Priorities USA, a super-PAC aligned with Hillary Clinton, has issued a dozen separate email blasts or advertisements attacking Rubio by name in the last two weeks.  No other GOP presidential candidate is receiving that kind of scrutiny.

So the Dems must be so comfortable with their voting bloc (http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/10/illegal-immigrants-could-elect-hillary-clinton-213216) that a true blue rino is a problem for them, & have this assurance that Hillary will crush a rival with conservative principles.
