Does the left have a slur for that kind of outreach too?

When the "messenger" is someone whose previous attempts at "journalism" has resulted in arrests and lawsuits which prove him to be a fraud and a criminal, the messenger shoots himself. He has no credibility.

So the question is how many Sander supporters will move over to Clinton?

Well, there's no hard data available. However, Cenk Uygur with Young Turks (a huge Sanders supporter who is now PUSHING Bernie people to vote Clinton) has been following Bernie supporters closely over the past few months.

He seems to feel between 50-65% of Bernie supporters will vote for HC. They might not support her but they will vote for her.

If he's right that's still a very large number of votes HC won't be receiving.

There's a lot of talk about how many Bernie supporters will vote for Clinton, but very little talk about how many traditional Republicans will vote for Trump. You can't assume that Trump will win the same number of votes Romney or McCain did because there are large numbers of Republicans who loathe him. I think it's going to be a tight race, but there are more variables than just whether Bernie supporters will vote for Hillary.

Still shooting the messenger.

The Message, since you don't seem to get it and no doubt loath to address, is from those in the video. Not the party who filmed it.

No, Dear, the messenger is the one who deceptively edits the videos.

Just like O'Keefe did in the videos that ended up costing him a $100,000 because they were proven to be fraudulent.

Just like O'Keefe did in the Planned Parenthood "sting" videos, which the raw footage, when released, exposed him as the liar and fraud that he is.

When your messenger is a known criminal and fraud, everything he produces must be viewed through that lens.

Anything O'Keefe puts out has an automatic credibility issue attached. Why should anyone believe this is any different from all of his other frauds?

Oh for cripe's sake...even the children on YouTube no longer scream out "fake" on every video.

No elitist twit could ever come up with this:

No one is paying them, because that comes from personal anger, not some ahole playing a game - paying players to move about the board. That's a Dem tactic...they have to pay people to root for them.

There were 2,472 delegates at the RNC in Cleveland. Only 18 were African American.

Does that reflect the true demographic of the United States of America?

How can Republicans defend that?

It is going viral on the social media like Facebook.

With KKK Grand Wizard David Duke running for Senate on the Republican ticket, I think this will spell doom for any effort to appeal to the African American vote to vote Republican.

But every discerning viewer correctly calls "fake" on every O'Keefe video. Fraud is his stock in trade.

Nah, he probably didn't pay them. He just did his usual fraudulent hack job editing to make it sound like what he wants it to sound like.

Sorry, but O'Keefe burned his credibility many frauds ago. And no need to try to blame the media or the Democrats--he did that all by himself.

Here's a story from outside the American liberal brainwashing - Stein is and will pick up a good portion of Bernie supporters.

KKK Wizard Robert Byrd ran as a Dem.
