Cornel West: HRC is the Milli Vanilli of American Politics

“Sister Hillary Clinton is the Milli Vanilli of American politics.

She lip-syncs, she gives lip service, but when it comes to policy, who supported the crime bill? Who supported, not just the deregulating of banks, but also pulled the rug from under welfare?

She talks about her work with the Children’s Defense Fund way back in the ’70s —doesn’t say a word about being a Goldwater girl, doesn’t say a word about supporting the candidate who Martin Luther King called… there is no moral case for Goldwater, the most dangerous politician. She vigorously campaigning.

She shows up and gives wonderful speeches sounding like Sen. Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders on the ground getting arrested, marching with MLK. The problem is black voters don’t know his history, they know the symbolic language of Hillary Clinton. But on the ground she is calling black youth super predators in the 1990’s. That is the most meaning degrading language to our precious young folk who sometimes do the wrong thing.

We know they have gangsters on Wall Street. How many Wall Street. executives go to jail? Zero. She is too tied to Wall Street with all that big Wall Street money flowing her way, brother.”

She only won in NV because union bosses sent out thousands of 'fliers' instructing their members to vote for her because she supports a $15 an hour minimum wage....but that's a lie, she supports a $12 an hour minimum wage, Sanders supports $15 an hour.
Only by pretending to BE Bernie can she gain support. I would much rather vote for the person she's pretending to be than the person who's doing the pretending.
It's pretty disgusting that she's trading on the ignorance of her voters to pretend to be something she's clearly not in order to trick them into supporting her. It's much worse that he media is allowing her to get away with it.
We're screwed. Neither Clinton nor Trump have a snowball's chance in hell of improving the state of our country, and it seems those in power are banking on that.

A couple of reasons I don't like her are that she kind of represents political royalty in this country (which is why I'm glad Jeb! is out as well) and 2 I don't see her as being that far away from the Republican stance. On the Republican side, they're all wackadoodle except for maybe Rubio, but I think he may be a Koch brother candidate.
