Bernie should have Jane go out on the stump. She's phenominal!

[HerbChestnut]

This is part of the Morning Joe interview from this morning. They address a variety of issues, but whenever Jane chips in she just lays down the hammer. This is the woman I want to see in the White House.

1. I haven't seen her except in the background, and haven't heard her

speak.

Sounds like she should be more involved?

Maybe she is the ace in Bernie's back pocket for later on?

I think all the campaigns have strategies and use certain people or special issues when they think it's most beneficial.

Look forward to hearing her speak.

2. She's a sweetie!

[Gregorian]

3. What I like about this is that I was surprised, and now Jane says they were surprised as well.

This is so great. Just discovering that these people, and supporters, exist is enough for me. I didn't know. Now I know. There are very solid and focused people who share a vision of a very different society. A much better one.

12. I hope we see more of Jane going forward. She is a powerhouse in the making.

4. Jane doesn't need Bernie's permission. She's her own woman who can make her own decisions. nt

[HerbChestnut]

5. This is Bernie's Presidential campaign, just like Bill didn't go out until Hillary gave the go ahead

And you're right, she *is* her own woman. Her accomplishments are great. Hope you watched the video.

6. So, you're comparing a husband ordering his wife to a wife ordering her husband?

I thought this was the 21st century...

[HerbChestnut]

7. WTF are you talking about?

My goodness, these are Presidential campaigns! Nobody goes out at surrogates unless it's approved by the top brass. Holy crow!

[ProudToBeLiberal]

8. I am coming from a feminist viewpoint. nt

[HerbChestnut]

9. Well your viewpoint is warped, this coming from another feminist

[ProudToBeLiberal]

10. Then, I think we can agree we need to break the glass ceiling and elect a woman president. nt

[HerbChestnut]

11. Sure, but I sure as hell am not voting for our version of Margret Thatcher

I'd vote for Jane Sanders though in a heartbeat. Elizabeth Warren definitely.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

13. You're comparing Hillary Clinton to the likes of Sarah Palin and Carly Fiorina? Seriously?

I thought you said you were a feminist. o.o

[HerbChestnut]

14. Ah, but according to your previous post we should break the glass ceiling, no?

That means if Sarah Palin or Carly Fiorina were the only women running for office you'd vote for them?

[ProudToBeLiberal]

16. I vote straight Democratic ticket. I'm a yellow dog Democrat.

So, no I would not vote for Sarah Palin or Carly Fiorina because they are Republicans. Republicans are the party that are against a woman's right to choose.

[HerbChestnut]

17. LOL ok, you've shown your stripes.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

18. Do you consider yourself a yellow dog Democrat? nt

[HerbChestnut]

22. I don't know what that means

I vote for whom I think best shares my values.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

24. It's someone who votes straight Democratic party under any circumstances

Yellow Dog Democrats was a political term applied to voters in the Southern United States who voted solely for candidates who represented the Democratic Party. The term originated in the late 19th century. These voters would allegedly "vote for a yellow dog before they would vote for any Republican".[1][2] The term is now more generally applied to refer to any Democrat who will vote a straight party ticket under any circumstances.

27. Just trawling for somebody to violate the TOS and get tombstoned. Pay no heed...

[HerbChestnut]

28. Yep, I sensed that too

[Triana]

15. She's lovely, well-spoken and sweet.

Wouldn't mind her being FLOTUS one bit!

[brooklynite]

19. I've had dinner with her and Bernie and she's very s,art...

...but for political clout, I'll go with Bill.

23. What year? NT

[brooklynite]

25. 2011. DSCC retreat in Martha's Vineyard.

[madokie]

20. I think so too

[Eric J in MN]

21. Yes. Jane Sanders should do a solo event in IA or NH each day until they respectively vote. NT
