(39,451 posts)bs that Bernie only wins states by 2% which is so not true. But she did have to answer some very tough questions.
And the BLM supporter that stood up for Bernie's ghetto comment, saying he is beginning to get it, but he is still a little clumsy.
That made me feel better.
But it was a great debate & even the discussion at the end because I do worry that the party elites would do that to Bernie should he be our nominee (what they are trying to do to Trump).

(41,102 posts)While I respect the apolitical stance of the BLM speaker, I don't support withdrawal from the electoral process all together as West tried to emphasize. I believe Amy added that 17% of Republicans are voting and only 11% of Democrats. That's real bad, a trend for several cycles that makes me wonder if it even matters to the Dem. Party.

So where does she think all that experience comes from? Bernie has been in politics longer than Hillary, if, as Delores Huerta says, Hillary had NOTHING to do with the policies of Bill?

(812 posts)You get to play all sides of any issues, whatever happens to be convenient at the time.
Caught a bunch of it on the radio this morning, really impressed with all of them (Huerta included).
So refreshing to hear intelligent discussion for both sides! Cable tv just can't touch that.
