"I have known Hillary Clinton for twenty five years. I respect and admire her."

-Bernie Sanders

[Cooley Hurd]

1. I just love this post!

[freshwest]

18. The quality of a person's heart is revealed by their words. Thanks, Bernie. n/t

[FLPanhandle]

2. This might confuse the simplistic thinkers.

The ones who see things as either/or or black and white.

[cali]

4. It's sure to confuse some Hillary supporters who will misinterpret

that as his agreeing with her on certain issues where they are most assuredly not in agreement.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

21. Some of them are veterans of the Obama vs Hillary War.....

They still have blood on their uniforms from that battle.

[Evergreen Emerald]

40. Why would it confuse Hillary supporters?

I do not understand your post. Please explain why Hillary supporters would be confused?

[djean111]

3. OMG. Does Bernie know that means he is endorsing her? nt

[Demeter]

20. NO it doesn't

If he wanted to endorse her, he would have said so....this is called damning with faint praise.

Bernie says nothing about her qualifications to serve as president, and that is telling.

[okaawhatever]

5. OMG you've done it now......the Sandersistas will not approve. nt

[workinclasszero]

6. WTG Bernie

[HassleCat]

7. Well Sure

You can respect and admire the living daylights out of somebody, and still run against them.

[ibegurpard]

8. So do I

But I won't support her unless she's the last person standing in the primary.

[fredamae]

9. Thank you Sen Sanders

for keeping it real.
No need to personally "bash the opponent". Any candidate can run a decent, respectable campaign and stick to the Issues, but very few do.
Sanders is a gentleman.
I like HRC also, tho I've never met her.
I just don't trust her closeness to corporworld/wall street et al as an elected official representing and protecting what I stand for.......

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. Classy./NT

[rhett o rick]

11. That's what I'd hope he would say. Maybe add, "and while I agree with her on some issues,

there are many that I don't agree with." Like fracking, the TPP, the Patriot Act, etc.

[hootinholler]

33. That's from Meet The Press this morning

He did expand on the theme a bit.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026651124

There's a clip in that thread.

[rhett o rick]

43. Thanks. nm

[kentuck]

12. Good job Bernie!

No need to get nasty.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. I agree....I am trying to refrain from saying anything negative about our candidates./NT

[99Forever]

13. Works for me.

[bahrbearian]

14. When asked about Bernie's remarks Hillary said "Bernie Who? "

Has she ever given praise to Bernie ?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. "I welcome him to the race."

Hillary ClintonVerified account
?@HillaryClinton

I agree with Bernie. Focus must be on helping America's middle class. GOP would hold them back. I welcome him to the race. –H

[MADem]

22. She donated thousands to his SENATE CAMPAIGN.

Is that "praise enough" to suit you???


She WELCOMES him to the race.

You really shouldn't talk out your hoohaa like that. It sounds bitter and nasty--the sort of attitude Senator Sanders would never take.

They HAVE been friends for 25 years--that's why she donated to his Senate run, and that's why he says nice things about her.

[freshwest]

17. Words from a great man's mouth, that should be repeated, but many are not of his caliber.

[onecaliberal]

19. On the other hand the Clinton surrogate that

Appeared shortly after Bernie on the same show sat next to Newt Gingrich and opined how Bernie was not to be taken seriously.

[reddread]

23. I have known one of her close friends almost as long

not well, but well enough to know what racist entitled wal-mart shoe concession selling folks from Arkansas are like.
Pretty cool, really, if you are a white guy in charge of keeping their belongings safe.
I wouldnt expect Hillary to be any more judgemental about people and their beliefs than I am.
But not for a second would I ever hope or expect to see the wildly right wing frothing tabloid subscription materials sitting on
her daughter's personal toilet. And that was over 20 years ago.
Hearing this lady screaming at workers and disrespecting (DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH!?) the Mexican-American employees they hired for their upscale wealthy area market would have been enough.

the entire picture is absolutely frightening.
the first time I brought this up, there was a lot of hectoring from folks who wanted a name.
when they got it, absolute dead silence.
they knew they were had.
I'll judge her by her actions, that is enough.
these ugly FACTUAL anecdotes simply reinforce the facts.
personal experience is a bitch compared to word of mouth.
I cant overlook what I know.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. How did you get in Chelsea's bathroom?

" But not for a second would I ever hope or expect to see the wildly right wing frothing tabloid subscription materials sitting on
her daughter's personal toilet..."

[reddread]

26. very funny

these very good friends of the Clintons have/(had, the wife divorced the husband and continues being HRC's bestie,
hubby drove Bill around in his big bus during Big Dog's one or two forays into Fresno)
the last name of Hutchison. I was desperate and rude enough to use their daughter's bathroom to mitigate my coffee habit.
Something I would never have done years later, but not just because I might see something as scary as
the right wing literature that circulated before the internet.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. Lots of Hutchisons

There are 27,777 people in the U.S. with the last name Hutchison:

Could you please be more specific?


Thank you in advance.

[reddread]

28. how many of them sold the WM shoe concession for 280 million dollars?

could you be less specific gravity?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. I will google your question

https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=who+sold+the+WM+shoe+concession+for+280+million+dollars%3F


I need more help, please.

[reddread]

30. clearly

I would look for something productive to do. None of this matters.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. These allegations deserve to be vetted.

Once I have the name of the person(s) lodging these allegations I will do my best to ensure these allegations are vetted.

[reddread]

34. buh bye

your concern is duly forgotten

[DemocratSinceBirth]

37. I am just a sojourner in search of the truth.

Can't you help a brother out?

[reddread]

32. keep on googlin

while youre at it, google the joke GWB made about hanging MLK jr when his family presented him with a portrait.
good luck placing all faith in google speaks very diminutive volumes.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

36. I didn't google your anecdote...

I googled "who sold the shoe concession to Wal Mart for $280,000.000.00" as you suggested that's the person aware of Hilalry's racism and Chelea's toileting.

[In_The_Wind]

25. Good grief.

[Aerows]

48. I support Bernie Sanders

and he is a gentleman, as evidenced by this quotation.

I have no idea where this person launched this idea from, but it has got to be from their nether regions. It's stinking up the place. :waves hands to dispel stench:

[sufrommich]

38. Vile rumor mongering SwiftBoat style. Disgusting.

I just tried to alert on this post and someone beat me to it,it passed a jury. Frankly,if vile,unsubstantiated shit like this is going to pass as "legitimate criticism" during the primaries, I doubt DU is going to be a good forum for discussing anything.

[reddread]

41. how do you know?

is there a little sewing circle discussing me?

[sufrommich]

42. Oh look,you don't understand how the alert

system works so you throw out a conspiratorial "question". Do you work for the National Inquirer?

[reddread]

44. you cant just answer a simple question?

maybe if I were inclined to alert on your scurrilous "freeper" remarks I would know more.
Welcome to America!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

47. Please help me out...

I want to know the close friend of the Clintons who accused them of being nativists who berated their Mexican wait staff for not speaking English while a pubescent Chelsea Clinton read "right wing rags" while she attended to her bodily needs.

Thank you in advance.

[Aerows]

49. It's messed up

I support Sanders, but this kind of besmirching of ANY candidate is uncalled for.

[sufrommich]

51. I've seen your posts,you're a great credit to his

campaign. I don't tie posters misbehaving on forums to politicians.Sanders is a classy person and a fine Senator.

[Aerows]

53. You are also a credit to

Hillary's campaign. There is absolutely no need to sink to this level, especially toward two good Democrats.

Let the best Dem win, but let's not tear each other apart in the winning!

[hrmjustin]

35. Classy man!

[Aerows]

46. Agreed

He's a fine gentleman. I wish more politicians would take a leaf from his book! Heck, I wish more people in general would take a leaf from his book.

[imnew]

39. Bernie is a class act and a gentlemen

He expects us to make our own minds up

[Aerows]

50. Unlike many politicians

He assumes we have one.

Though from a couple of reactions in this thread, he's a lot more optimistic than I am.

But that's okay, a good leader brings out the best in people, even when it seems impossible.

[Aerows]

45. That is a true gentleman

and a man with class. Would that we had everyone follow his lead in Washington and in the race.

[Kelvin Mace]

52. I respect and admire

A number of people I would never vote for as president.

[Aerows]

54. I respect and admire

a number of people from whom I'd never take political advice.

[WillyT]

55. So Do I... But Her Time Has Passed...

Everybody knows the game is rigged...

The question is... who's gonna fight to fix it?
