Highlight:

Clinton doubles down on Sanders criticism, warns that he's promising 'the moon' [View all] Gothmog Feb 2020 OP

Why didn't she just run again? polichick Feb 2020 #1

She can only express her opinion and if she's a candidate? StarfishSaver Feb 2020 #17

This way, she could do more harm than good - better to run. polichick Feb 2020 #21

How is telling the truth doing harm Gothmog Feb 2020 #87

We can have a military larger than the next 7 countries combined Rural_Progressive Feb 2020 #117

OK... ehrnst Feb 2020 #125

So no one who has run before can say anything about the candidates.... ehrnst Feb 2020 #115

No. Just Hillary StarfishSaver Feb 2020 #180

My special rule for Hillary: When she speaks, I pay attention. Hermit-The-Prog Feb 2020 #191

+++ still_one Feb 2020 #52

She should endorse someone. Gore1FL Feb 2020 #57

"attack dog?" So you think that she should be on someone's campaign staff? ehrnst Feb 2020 #116

Getting a lawyer to not comment on something is hard Gothmog Feb 2020 #90

Obama's a lawyer too. BlueWI Feb 2020 #134

I still would love to see Joe Biden appoint President Obama to SCOTUS Gothmog Feb 2020 #163

Waiting pretty long. polichick Feb 2020 #34

Ya but it's not too late. Hillary's ally Bloomberg entered late & isn't competing til Super Tuesday. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #41

Or too much transparency! ehrnst Feb 2020 #67

It's too late to get on the ballot in most states. TexasTowelie Feb 2020 #84

But InAbLuEsTaTe is sure that the DNC would "make exceptions" for HRC... ehrnst Feb 2020 #107

Yes, because we know that the DNC has rigged all of the primaries. TexasTowelie Feb 2020 #123

Wink. Wink. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #135

Kind of a strange thing to say - "Hillary's ally Bloomberg". Biden isn't collapsing anywhere.... George II Feb 2020 #140

re: "Biden isn't collapsing anywhere ... if anything Sanders is losing steam." thesquanderer Feb 2020 #182

And don't forget Bernie's epic fail to suRge and take the blue ribbon IA was spectacular. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #174

HRC's influence makes this false equivalency absurd. polichick Feb 2020 #179

I don't think Hillary gets that her speaking like this really helps Bernie. jalan48 Feb 2020 #2

Really? Gothmog Feb 2020 #10

Her "conversation" about him in Jan really helped his fundraising. I believe February will be just Autumn Feb 2020 #13

Exactly. He has a strong base of support and these kinds of attacks just help him. jalan48 Feb 2020 #28

His fundraising did not... pfeiffer Feb 2020 #30

Doesn't matter his turnout did just fine and so is his fundraising. There were TWO running last time Autumn Feb 2020 #40

Yeah, that doesn't bode well. (nt) ehrnst Feb 2020 #114

Yes, the Baseless Bernie Bashing Backlash is fueling Bernie's surge in the polls, soooo... InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #76

OLIVER!! ehrnst Feb 2020 #82

I share Hillary's concerns about sanders Gothmog Feb 2020 #167

Shhhhhhhh!! Please don't discourage Hillary from continuing to speaking out!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #35

... jalan48 Feb 2020 #38

oH, i GeT iT!!!! ehrnst Feb 2020 #112

I disagree. Many people respect her, why should she not let people know she has a strong opinion? unitedwethrive Feb 2020 #60

Damn straight. And she's not going away. ehrnst Feb 2020 #81

Is that her job now? (nt) ehrnst Feb 2020 #80

I have always admired Hillary, but this is a time when I wish she would be quiet Perseus Feb 2020 #83

So, you're saying that if she isn't "pushing" Bernie, she should just shut up. ehrnst Feb 2020 #109

CNN- Sanders' agenda: Its cost- possibly $60 trillion- would set a peacetime US record Gothmog Feb 2020 #5

But that next tax break? No problem! nt Doremus Feb 2020 #9

The tax break didn't get a single vote from Democrats. Blame the GOP for that. Not us. Scurrilous Feb 2020 #71

Those were GOP tax cuts with no votes from any Demcorats Gothmog Feb 2020 #94

I know. We get that thrown in our face a lot. Every Dem. and 13 GOP voted no. Scurrilous Feb 2020 #111

There's a lot more to negotiating than tucking tail and hand wringing Doremus Feb 2020 #126

Huh? Midnightwalk Feb 2020 #74

Repealing Trump's tax cuts will be easier than doing anything to the military budget. Scurrilous Feb 2020 #92

I hate when dems carry repuke water Doremus Feb 2020 #122

10 years out of 52 Midnightwalk Feb 2020 #142

That's why he doesn't want to explicitly state how much his proposals will cost. George II Feb 2020 #36

Are you sure that he even know how much it will cost? Blue_true Feb 2020 #50

About a week ago he admitted on CBS that he doesn't know, and added "nobody knows"..... George II Feb 2020 #51

Stuff like that scares me. It is like getting on a roller coaster blindfolded without checking Blue_true Feb 2020 #53

How does he get away with that? mcar Feb 2020 #68

My favorite is when he said, "I don't have the plan in my pocket right now" when asked about details betsuni Feb 2020 #75

he does not know, nor does he care Skittles Feb 2020 #99

Sort of like in Britain. Blue_true Feb 2020 #127

I cannot believe this is what it has come to Skittles Feb 2020 #132

Trump has a very hard core of 25% of voters who won't leave him. Blue_true Feb 2020 #143

I have never understood Bernie's appeal Skittles Feb 2020 #153

Same here Gothmog Feb 2020 #164

when he first came in the spotlight Skittles Feb 2020 #190

I will go there. He appeals to people that think that life is screwing them over somehow. Blue_true Feb 2020 #194

I think at this point outside the very rich, everyone feels screwed somehow Skittles Feb 2020 #195

There is no way for sanders to get his platform adopted without a magical voter revolution Gothmog Feb 2020 #101

You are a realist. Blue_true Feb 2020 #145

I simply do not understand the concept of voter revolution Gothmog Feb 2020 #154

Sanders, like Trump in 2016, is making vague promises of better days. We have seen Blue_true Feb 2020 #155

How is wagging his finger at Mitch going to work in the real world? Gothmog Feb 2020 #157

I've noticed and I'm sure others have that there's NEVER a problem with tax breaks for the wealthy. Autumn Feb 2020 #20

Sanders legislative agenda would have no way of being passed even if elected. Here's why: Gothmog Feb 2020 #25

Yup! President Sanders will reverse those tax breaks & problem solved! His entire agenda's paid for! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #79

Not in the real world Gothmog Feb 2020 #97

How's he gonna pay for it? Butterflylady Feb 2020 #23

sanders has no meaningful legilslative accomplishments in the real world Gothmog Feb 2020 #26

I would reverse Reaganomics to pay for it, if it were me. nt Gore1FL Feb 2020 #58
