Though some may like to misrepresent things, the facts are Hillary and Bernie voted the same way 93% of the time in the two years they shared in the Senate.
Here are a few of the issues they did NOT vote the same way:
March 15, 2007: Congress should not cut military funding if it would undermine troop safety or mission
Bernie voted NO, Hillary voted YES
Oct. 1, 2008 Approve U.S.-India civilian nuclear deal
Bernie voted NO, Hillary voted YES
Oct. 1, 2008 Approve comprehensive amendment to bank bailout bill
Bernie voted NO, Hillary voted YES
Oct. 1, 2008 Pass bank bailout bill Passed
Bernie voted NO, Hillary voted YES
Jan. 15, 2009 Continue TARP.
Bernie voted NO, Hillary voted YES
So if they decide to debate the past instead of what they would like to do, and actually can achieve, the debates will be an entire waste of everyones time
