Ooh, I can't wait for the next (faux) HRC assassination attempt!

That one was a winner! I wonder who'll she'll supposedly threaten to take out next? I'm guessing one of the insurance giants so as to gin up sympathy for "reform" and remind people how divisive she was in fighting for "Hillarycare" scraps.
