This could get entertaining . . . Mark Halperin says that, faced with plunging poll numbers, Hillary's only hope of victory is to "win ugly."

Appearing on today's Morning Joe, Halperin explained that by "win ugly" he means drawing invidious comparisons with her opponents, such as emphasizing that Bernie Sanders is a socialist and Trump a billionaire developer. Should we prepare for the Hillary Red Scare? "I have here in my hand a list of 205 socialists in the Sanders campaign!"

Mark Halperin says Hillary’s only hope is to “win ugly.”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism ping list.

[RightGeek]

Hillary’s campaigns are always ugly. The author really means “uglier”.

[trebb]

If ugly is the standard, she wins.....

[abb]

At least now she can commiserate with Carly Fiorina.

[Ann Archy]

The Clintons ALWAYS win ugly.

[9YearLurker]

Not happening. Hill’s if anything pushing further and further to the left.

[MNDude]

Well, she is half way there already then.

[Leaning Right]

Hill’s if anything pushing further and further to the left.

Agreed. I think she'll start promising more and more free things to more and more people, a typical leftist move. She's already hinted that college should be "free" (in other words, by paid by someone else).

Thank the lord she doesn’t have to “bump ugly”

[Sasparilla]

Yes, she has the ugly part down.

[mkjessup]

If 'ugly' is the standard, Hillary Rotten Clinton wins big.

"Ah say, ah say son? Beauty may be skin deep, but UGLY goes all the way to the bone, and Hiliarly fell OUT of the Ugly Tree, and hit every branch on the way down, do ya heah me son?"

[dforest]

She will have no problem being ugly inside and out. She has always played ugly.

[Reno89519]

She’s competing with Fiorina for ugly?

"Lookit here son, I say son, did ya see that hawk after those hens? He scared 'em! That Rhode Island Red turned white. Then blue. Rhode Island. Red, white, and blue. That's a joke, son. A flag waver. You're built too low. The fast ones go over your head. Ya got a hole in your glove. I keep pitchin' 'em and you keep missin' 'em. Ya gotta keep your eye on the ball. Eye. Ball. I almost had a gag, son. Joke, that is."

Did not expect to wake up with Fog Horn Leg Horn. Good Memories. Thanks.

Well, she did say Walker thinks he is a tough guy on his motorcycle. That ought to do it.

She can’t take Sanders’ support by calling him a socialist. His supporters know that. It seems two major networks don’t. If she does that his numbers go up. Calling Trump commie code for “successful businessman” won’t help her, either. That would help Sanders. She is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Add to that historically an 8 year presidency is followed by a same party win only when a number of people who DIDN’T vote for the guy admit he has done well. In the case of 0bama that is a big hill to climb in 16 months. The Klown could help by saying he has had an epiphany and shape up right quick but he is incapable. I suspect that may not even work as he would need help from Agent Orange and The Turtle.

Pretty funny ... a Communist calling out a Socialist!

" by "win ugly" he means drawing invidious comparisons with her opponents, such as emphasizing that Bernie Sanders is a socialist and Trump a billionaire developer. "

Libtard reporters eventually always reveal themselves. Only a libtard thinks there is something bad about being a "billionaire developer"
