President. How many jobs will Nike create here in the US, and what are the pay scales? Hell, I wouldn't TAKE a job if the employer told me 'don't worry about the salary, just sign this contract and trust us'.

It's just ludicrous and an insult to every elected official to tell them 'you're wrong' when he is offering nothing but 'trust me'.

Shameful.

Thanks Bernie I hope this disaster fails.

And Bernie will not be drawn into a negative HRC statement. What is says is true - ALL candidates should take a clear stand on this.

I just can't get over at how stupid the corporatists think we are. They're using the same utterly debunked talking points that were stale way back in the early 90's.

I'm so glad Senator Sanders is keeping the pressure on and not letting this get swept under the rug.

and further more there hasn't been in 20 plus years.

Bernie is in this to win and I do believe he has the leading role and will ultimately be the next President.
