clinton vs. sanders your vote? — Page 51

HorseTears said: "ErikJ972 - I'm actually surprised that Bernie didn't take the opportunity to go after Hillary on the points raised in that Rolling Stone article. Her coziness and soft touch with banks (both real and perceived) could be a potential weakness. It's definitely something he should be prepared to do at the next debate. I appreciate his civility and his aversion to "negative" campaigning, but if his message is just going to be about policy and not about differentiating himself from the front runner, what is he doing at this point? "

Oh he will go after her on those points. I expect he'll also go after her for her horrible record on welfare reform and foreign policy.

But the Sanders campaign had one goal Tuesday night. To increase his exposure. Before Tuesday a majority of voters still didn't even know who he was. Judging by the online attention and the over 3 million he's raised, Tuesday was a big success for the Sanders campaign.

Bernie Sanders Met Sandra Bland's Mom And Didn't Tell Anyone

"He simply made space for a sacred moment, and then let it pass without trying to gain anything from it."

Remember the time Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) met with Sandra Bland's mother and shamelessly used it for political capital?

Neither do we, because -- though the Democratic presidential candidate apparently did meet Geneva Reed-Veal -- he didn't tell anyone about it. He did, however, promise to#SayHerName, which he did Tuesday during the first Democratic presidential debate."

Namo...I assume that's not directed at me since I have never advocated for not voting.

The worst thing Hillary Clinton has done

During the debate, Clinton touted her years at the Children's Defense Fund. Here's the truth she didn't talk about

"Politicians are often said to be skilled in the art of talking out of both sides of their mouths. This was exemplified in the first 2015 Democratic presidential debate, on the evening of Oct. 13. When asked which enemy he was most proud of, former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley boldly declared “the NRA.”

The problem is O’Malley took $40,000 from the NRA in 2012, according to disclosures obtained by The Intercept.

Yet O’Malley is not the only candidate who says one thing and does another.

“I don’t take a back seat to anyone when it comes to progressive experience and progressive commitment,” Hillary Clinton insisted in the debate. “You know, when I left law school, my first job was with the Children’s Defense Fund, and for all the years since, I have been focused on how we’re going to un-stack the deck, and how we’re gonna make it possible for more people to have the experience I had.”

This is true — Clinton not only worked with Children’s Defense Fund (CDF), a non-profit advocacy organization that seeks to help American youth; she served as the head of its board.

Later in the debate — amid her hawkish rhetoric — Clinton twice more mentioned her work with CDF, wielding it as an example of her purportedly progressive policies.

The problem with Clinton’s claims, however, is that she betrayed children as First Lady. Under the guise of welfare reform, the Clinton administration worked with Republicans to gut social services, ignoring their own senior officials’ warnings that, by doing so, they would be plunging over a million children into poverty.

Oh Ok. My bad. Didn't see it's post before.

Lol I guess that explains the 3 million plus he raised off the debate too.

Hillary gets a debate bump.

POLITICO: Third poll shows Clinton's lead widening after debate

Webb is dropping out, considering an independent run. Can't see that happening, but if it did, it would hurt the GOP more than the Dems.

Nah.

It's like these keystone cops are actually trying to help Hillary at this point.

Since Biden is already included in most polls, if he does decide to run, the immediate impact might be a minimal bump, at best.

An overwhelming number of pollsters and pundits strongly disagree. They anticipate a 10 - 12% bump upon an initial announcement with a steady decline following the bump (Google is your friend and will provide you with plenty of material on this). Why are you all so afraid of Biden? At least the guy is real and sincere and authentic. The same cannot be said of Hillary.

Oh, sure. It can be said by those who are biased and blindly worshipping her.

No. But the opposite can be said by those who are biased and blindly denigrating her."
