Where are all of Hillary's supporters to speak up for her defense?
In fairness, there really aren't that many of what I'd call Hillary supporters. More like Hillary "accepters".
It's a group that votes democrat and thinks she'd have a better chance of beating the Republican choice.
Sanders closing the gap however shows that a lot of democrats recognize her past history is heavily corporatist and anti-union, pro-wallstreet....and have refused to have her shoved down their throats by the DNC.
I personally think that Sanders may be more electable than Clinton considering the Independents hate her and don't trust a thing she says.

The irony in this is pretty funny.
Cant have those big 'pro corporation', 'anti union' Republicans in office, so lets vote for a big 'pro corporation', 'anti union' Democrat..
As long as there are super donors from wall street ,big oil, big pharma etc, Any president elected will never work for the people but rather the interest of these big donors.
There should be a rule that any candidate cannot take money from these donors who are basically buying the allegiance of the President. A Govt by the people for the people? Boy that got corrupted pretty fast.
The founding fathers are probably rolling in their graves seeing what politics have become.
I'm no fan of Citizen's United. I think it has corrupted our political system even further. But considering the fact that Hillary has received MILLIONS and MILLIONS in donations and speaking fees from her corporate masters, she has no credibility on this subject.
Also, regarding her complaints about increased requirements to vote... Well, why is it such a bad thing to require people to get a valid ID card in order to vote? Almost every country in Europe requires a voter ID card before you can cast a ballot. Besides, if people are too lazy or too stupid to go get an ID card in advance of an election do we really want them voting in the first place?
LOL, what a joke of a partisan article. I know the media has a certain bent but rarely is it this bad.
It was the GOP that passed the law that brought about the C.U. ruling. It was Bush that signed it (but should have been impeached when he made his comments about it) but the author somehow blames the GOP under Obama for it getting overturned? Like they could have done something?
And it isn't why the (D)'s were crushed in 2010. Obama and Pelosi was the reason.
The GOP is just as wrong on all of this as is the Dem's but that isn't the position the author is taking.

About as ironic as Hillary's crew trying to paint Sanders as racist....
Wow, 2008 wasn't that long ago...but I guess she's hoping people have forgotten about her run-ins with Obama while he was attempting his "fairy tale" victory.

Um, dude....it was an article WRITTEN BY HILLARY CLINTON it's not CNN's fault, it is newsworthy.
I'm sure if some other leading candidate wants to write a similar article CNN (has) and will put it up there too.
Yeah, funny hearing her cry about CU....if it were this great big threat to dems why didn't they crush it in 2008 when they had the power to do so?
She's trying to rally the base is all.
Sad fact, her campaign strategy to this point is "You recognize my name and the other guy can't beat the republicans....so vote for me...because I'm only mostly republican".
