Hillary Clinton: I agree with Bernie

[brooklynite]

‏@HillaryClinton

I agree with Bernie. Focus must be on helping America's middle class. GOP would hold them back. I welcome him to the race. –H

[Zorra]

1. Recommend. nt

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

2. I wish Bernie's announcement would bring us all closer together, I also believe

Hillary NEEDS a reason to be a populist the same way Obama said "make me do it"

I could explain in detail but most get it

[seabeyond]

6. adults... i do not think it will be that hard. and i do not think this is hugs and kisses either.

i often have strong debate with those i love. not lots of hugs and kisses but a whole lot of respect, even in disagreement.

[ChiciB1]

11. Nailed It!!! I'm Beginning To Feel That Hillary Might

be a little worried about Bernie. I keep hearing it's good he's running because it will push her to the left, but IF SHE HAS TO BE PUSHED to the left. tell me WHY??

And it's not really LEFT, it's PROGRESSIVE and NOT DLC!

[seabeyond]

15. i do not think clinton is scared, any more than sanders. she is a competent, accomplished woman. nt

9. In which case, his candidacy is a hopeful sign.

I will be interested to see if his candidacy has the desired effect of raising the issues of most concern to the people, or if he will have his character assassinated and his principles dragged through the mud. But the larger issue is whether his candidacy will make any difference in policy, or just provide talking points for the other politicians which will be ignored after the election. Of Sanders's sincerity I have little doubt, but I'm not so sanguine about others.

17. Party Unity My Ass!

[ananda]

19. I wish we could m a k e him undo the TPP.

..

[NCTraveler]

3. Excellent words.

He is a great addition to the party and our primary. Let the debates begin.

[Orsino]

4. Classy.

I welcome them both to what I hope really will be a race.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

5. I'm really looking forward to the Hillary/Bernie debates.

I have some doubts about it being a scene of hugs and kisses and "me too".

[polichick]

14. Me too!

[rhett o rick]

35. I don't want the corporate media nitwits to run the debate tho. Maybe Democracy Now or

the BBC and hold debates.

[JaneyVee]

7. KNR! Just gave it an RT.

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. Borowitz and the Iching

LOL

[LanternWaste]

13. I love a good, old-fashioned post hoc ergo prompter hoc fallacy.

I love a good, old-fashioned post hoc ergo prompter hoc fallacy. It allows editorialists to pretend their powers of prophecy are still intact, and the fan base to pre-validate any biases they hold. Win-win!

[Fumesucker]

16. Propter hoc, not prompter...

[malthaussen]

18. Oddly enough, that's exactly what I thought of when I saw this.

I wonder if Hillary reads Borowitz.

-- Mal

[MannyGoldstein]

27. Hillary agrees with Borowitz

about being agreeable.

[Sheepshank]

39. Because HRC has never attempted help (remember health care when Buba was POTUS)....

...or recently talked about helping the middle class prior to BS jumping in?

What a load.

[seabeyond]

37. wow. she should have disagreed and insisted on a nasty campaign, just so manny wouldnt be able to

link to a satire?

she also agrees with warren on the piece of tpp. though it was printed in her book well before we dicided she is just flip flopping to be agreeable.

[MannyGoldstein]

43. So many dog whistles today

Borowitz writing that a woman is following a man. Then the President... I can't even repeat it.

Both of them shameless! And they have their followers!

[seabeyond]

44. nah, manny, it is the disrespect of the first day of what sanders says. but wtf, right manny?

[leftofcool]

12. Another reason I support Hillary!

[GummyBearz]

20. After conducting many survey's she decided its best to say Bernie is correct

I'd say she is a day late and a dollar short, but the dollar short part obviously doesn't fit this situation.

[AtomicKitten]

26. Making her the "ME TOO!" candidate.

[JoePhilly]

28. YUP ... they scream "Bully Pulpit" one minute ... and "Pretty Speech" the next.

"Why won't Obama say what I want him to say???"

"Oh wait, he did say what I want him to say."

"yea, well ... He didn't mean it!!!!"

[seabeyond]

38. ya people. glad to see you are all on board with sanders. nt

[JoePhilly]

46. I like Bernie.

I don't think he'll win the nomination, but it will be good to have him in the mix.

[Sheepshank]

40. She's been an advocate for Middle class for 40 years....look it up

apparently it's convenient for you to forget so you can play another HRC punch.

[mcar]

42. Is that really necessary?

HRC was gracious. Why the slam?

[geek tragedy]

21. Amazing how some people have to bash Clinton no matter what she does or says.

Always looking for a pretext to complain and belittle.

[Andy823]

23. It's the same group

That had to always trash Obama no matter what. Things may change but the bashers never do!

[mvd]

22. Nice response. I like what I am..

hearing from Hillary so far. Will she ever be as liberal as Sanders? No. But if she keeps this up and follows through as President (a big if), she'd be fine.

[malthaussen]

24. Of course, it is entirely possible for Mrs Clinton to agree with Mr Sanders...

... on the locus of the problem, while differing with him on the measures required to cure it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. Very classy...

Secretary of State Clinton is an exemplar to the world.

[calimary]

45. I like it, too. Wouldn't it be great if they teamed up on the ticket?

She should ask him to be her running mate.

[DonCoquixote]

29. Ok Hill, this showed class

I hope your followers follow suit.

"I welcome him to the race."

[cascadiance]

30. I like her talking the talk now...

Still waiting for her to "Walk the Walk" though!

[Warren Stupidity]

31. Good. Hopefully Bernie can, at a minimum, get a dialog started

about what the Democratic Party is about and why working people, all working people, should be voting for our party.

[Fearless]

32. Bwahahaha!

Since when??

[Oilwellian]

33. LOL...thanks for the belly laugh! n/t

[Agschmid]

34. Kicked.

[MaggieD]

36. I think they agree on 99% of the issues

[mcar]

41. Classy. I agree with HRC

Welcome to the race, Sen. Sanders.
