We need to stand together Madam Mossfern Sep 2017 #1

Agree! Hopefully, Hillary vs Bernie infighting threads will be limited by DU Admin RiverStone Sep 2017 #41

Bernie needs to explain why Vermont doesn't have single payer. R B Garr Sep 2017 #2

It's in the clip...all those things are fights. Hillary should help leftstreet Sep 2017 #6

Bernie needs to explain why he is attacking good Democrats over single payer R B Garr Sep 2017 #7

Ask Shumlin leftstreet Sep 2017 #9

Bernie should be asking Shumlin. He claims to be so influential, so he R B Garr Sep 2017 #10

LOL n/t leftstreet Sep 2017 #11

Exactly! How can he claim to lead Democrats if he has these insurmountable R B Garr Sep 2017 #12

He's not a state senator. Qutzupalotl Sep 2017 #25

That's a laughable excuse. He is touted for having popularity and influence, R B Garr Sep 2017 #27

What a laughable response. Do you know how state government works? Qutzupalotl Sep 2017 #28

That's laughable. But it figures you think this excuse will absolve him R B Garr Sep 2017 #29

The only one who should explain this to you Qutzupalotl Sep 2017 #30

This is an excuse that Bernie does not tolerate from Democrats. R B Garr Sep 2017 #31

That's not a different standard. Qutzupalotl Sep 2017 #34

It is not a different standard. No one submitted the numbers for the single payer, R B Garr Sep 2017 #40

I'm tired of the anti-Bernie people. Bluepinky Sep 2017 #35

I'm tired of Democrats being blamed for things that he hasn't obtained himself. R B Garr Sep 2017 #43

OK, So what do you say about the people protesting at HRC book signing? Old Vet Sep 2017 #72

Federal senators wield a massive amount of influence in their states stevenleser Sep 2017 #47

Influence doesn't allocate funds. Qutzupalotl Sep 2017 #49

It absolutely does. In 2010 one US senator had $490 million in pork directed to his state stevenleser Sep 2017 #109

A US Senator can't force a state legislature to allocate state funds. Qutzupalotl Sep 2017 #110

Exactly.... AncientGeezer Sep 2017 #122

Sanders doesn't need to do anything ProfessorPlum Sep 2017 #14

Exactly! Substitute that excuse in for other politicians, and then apologize R B Garr Sep 2017 #15

? ProfessorPlum Sep 2017 #52

Other politicans have limitations just like he does. R B Garr Sep 2017 #55

okaaaayyyy. ProfessorPlum Sep 2017 #57

Your posts are about promoting Bernie. Denigrating Clinton is not necessary R B Garr Sep 2017 #23

No, cut this bullshit. This is the bullshit that needs to be cut. R B Garr Sep 2017 #38

Yes exactly HE CANNOT GET IT DONE. Agschmid Sep 2017 #42

WHAT THE FUCK is right. He is a Senator who wants to lend his R B Garr Sep 2017 #51

So has Hillary -- from decades ago. So have lots of politicians. So let's not blame Democrats for R B Garr Sep 2017 #67

"Bernie needs to explain why Vermont doesn't have single payer" LiberalLovinLug Sep 2017 #45

LOL, What About Hillary already? R B Garr Sep 2017 #53

So its "unrealistic" to expect Hillary to "have her help going forward"? LiberalLovinLug Sep 2017 #61

To berate other politicians over political realities that have also blocked you is R B Garr Sep 2017 #66

It wasn't me making snide comments LiberalLovinLug Sep 2017 #82

Sanders' is just trying to make things on his terms only. Imagine if Hillary had turned the R B Garr Sep 2017 #88

"the pushback from Sanders"? LiberalLovinLug Sep 2017 #92

A lot of people should also hear from him as to why Vermont does not have single payer. R B Garr Sep 2017 #94

Do you enjoy pretzels? LiberalLovinLug Sep 2017 #101

LOL, love the shift into the machinations of politics, as if every politician doesn't R B Garr Sep 2017 #104

Don't you realize that all this infighting is exactly what the Russians want, and set up? Maraya1969 Sep 2017 #63

That's why it's good that Clinton points out the attacks on her. R B Garr Sep 2017 #73

The Russians don't have to make DU suck. QC Sep 2017 #99

Yeah, senators are clearly responsible for all decisions in their state! Cuthbert Allgood Sep 2017 #71

I know what Sanders is, LOL. Everyone knows. And love the Whataboutism. R B Garr Sep 2017 #78

It's not "whataboutism." It's a question asking if you are consistent. Cuthbert Allgood Sep 2017 #83

This is not difficult. Sanders held himself out as a moral authority. He led R B Garr Sep 2017 #89

He left the party and now he sits there, judging it from on high. He's not a team player. pnwmom Sep 2017 #37

Someone made a great point the other day about that. MrsCoffee Sep 2017 #64
