18. Attacking the Democratic nominee during the campaign is disgusting. nt

[Lunabell]

2. Bernie is a progressive.

I miss Bernie.

[pnwmom]

13. Hillary is a progressive. The OP's article is Hillary bashing, from a long time Hillary basher. nt

[ananda]

26. Me too.

[stonecutter357]

27. .

[geek tragedy]

30. he's still alive and in fact he's campaigning for Clinton very soon nt

[Dr Hobbitstein]

33. So is Hillary.

Which is why Bernie has endorsed and is campaigning for her.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

35. Lol

[stonecutter357]

3. Good that is what we need

[Buns_of_Fire]

4. Disappointing. But not unexpected. nt

[HereSince1628]

5. Not having Trump! is really what America cares about.

If we've got old DLCers in charge... that's clear evidence that -we-won.

A dem is always better than an republican.

[global1]

6. So The Progressive Platform Coming Out Of The Convention Was....

just pulling our chain?

Doesn't this say something about trustiness?

[pinboy3niner]

7. Seems like stretching to villify Hillary's administration before she's even sworn in

Most of us would prefer to judge President Hillary Clinton on what she does after taking office.

I can't help questioning an opinion piece seeking to undermine her at this point.

[villager]

37. Not if we know the established track records of the already-named transition team. nt

[MaeScott]

8. SSDD. nt

[SticksnStones]

9. Isn't this best suited for JPR?

Has the transition team done something specific, current tense, you object to?

Nice advance jab at Clinton


And the primary continues...

[SticksnStones]

21. Respectfully, I think Clinton has endured enough...

Of the damning by imagining what she will do or has done for which there is no proof. Just people supposing.

This article doesn't veer that far off from what republicans do to the Clintons all the time: accusing them of being about to do something.

Criticize her actual actions when they actually occur. That's valid. Clinton has stated clearly on multiple occasions that she will not support TPP in its current state. But again, respectfully, enough with the guilt by "could-have, might-just, maybe-will".

It's a technique that when employed by republicans lacks any nuance, or ability to imagine governance that isn't inherently corrupted.

And IMO, when employed by our side, it works against the stated purpose of this season, which is to get democrats elected.

Peace ~

10. the OP seems very concerned.

rofl: :

[betsuni]

11. "four co-chairs" AHHHH! THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE!

Transition team TO HELL. The end is nigh! Repent, Democrats. SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE? Thanks, Hillary.

[pnwmom]

12. Why are you bashing Democrats? n/t

[pinboy3niner]

14. The author of the piece was a pledged Bernie delegate. nt

[pnwmom]

15. So I guess he's still fighting the primary. n/t

[pinboy3niner]

16. Appears so. nt

[betsuni]

17. It takes a villager to keep fighting the primary.

[G_j]

50. primary?

this happens to be the present.

[pnwmom]

51. Yes, it is. But he's still fighting the primary. He should realize it's over. n/t

[R B Garr]

57. lol, "corporatist" is a phony holier-than-thou smear from the primaries.

Heck, I was called a corporatist and I'm just a housewife. That's how it's obvious it was meant as some kind of smear since it is meant to signal that the speaker is the arbiter of all that is good and pure. Sick of it!

[BumRushDaShow]

20. Analysis/opinion.

Sigh...

[LenaBaby61]

22. Some people ....

Are unfortunately still fighting in the primaries. There was only one winner, and that was Hillary Clinton. Bernie Sanders fought hard, and valiantly but it didn't happen for him.

We have a nominee whose going up against tRump and his Neo-Nazi buddy named Bannon and her name is Hillary Clinton.

End of story.

[msanthrope]

23. Looking at Dr. Stein's twitter feed, she seems all het up about Ken Salazar.

What strange bedfellows.

[stonecutter357]

24. Hillary Clinton Pissing OFF All The RIGHT People..

[yardwork]

28. Is this what Putin says?

[geek tragedy]

29. Black's brain is still stuck in the 1990's.

He's whining about talks that were held with Republicans in 1998, and fricking NAFTA.

[villager]

39. So, it would seem, is this transition team. nt

[geek tragedy]

40. Salazar and Donilon served in the administration of the current president.

Granholm served as governor of Michigan from 2003-2011.

You were saying?

[villager]

41. Ah, so the writer does have a more recent basis for his critique. nt

[geek tragedy]

43. No, not really. He talked about negotiations with Newt Gingrich during the 1990's.

Back when Newt Gingrich was relevant.

Which is ancient freaking history.

Ken Salazar got elected to the Senate in 2004, after Gingrich had resigned and well after NAFTA had passed. Donilon has never been in Congress.

Unclear where he got this nonsense.

[villager]

44. Their vocal TPP support was suddenly time-ported back to the 90's?

[geek tragedy]

45. Black has been fighting the 1990s for 3 decades now. Stuck in the past.

Black added: “And on the economic side, they were all in favor of austerity. All in favor of privatization. Tried to do a deal with Newt Gingrich to privatize Social Security. And of course, were all in favor of things like NAFTA.”

He's talking about the Newt Gingrich era in Congress. Stuck in the past. What he's talking about has zero relevance to people like Jennifer Granholm.

https://www.quotetab.com/quote/by-jennifer-granholm/with-outsourcing-with-nafta-we-call-it-shafta-in-the-state-of-michigan-but-truly

Black hasn't figured out that this isn't the 1990s, and that Bill Clinton isn't on the ballot, and that the DLC no longer exists, and that Newt Gingrich is no longer relevant.

[villager]

46. Again, their vocal TPP support was restricted to the 90's?

[quickesst]

31. Really?

?height=460&width=460&qv=90

[Dr Hobbitstein]

32. Awww, are you concerned?

Don't worry, your concern is noted.

[NightWatcher]

34. Don't care. I prefer her transition team over Donald's

[La Lioness Priyanka]

36. The author of the piece is a sore loser who is just lying about her.

Also this is clearly continuing the primary fights. Guy was a Bernie delegate who couldn't handle losing.

[villager]

38. Where is he actually lying about the backgrounds of the transition team?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

42. He is lying about the implications of what ken Salazar may mean

In terms of her government and governing positions.

Like I said, sore fucking losers.

[villager]

47. How is he lying?

The best we could say is that we might hope the implications of this transition team aren't what they currently seem.

But given some of the track records of the appointees, that hope for change is the best we have, for now.

You can't know either, what this really means, until the points in the article are either confirmed, or allayed.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

49. when you definitely make arguments for which you have no proof

you are lying.

which is exactly what this sore loser Bernie delegate is doing.

[villager]

54. You're the one definitively claiming he's lying, without any counter-facts for rebuttal.

I'd like to know specifics about Salazar, et al, that disprove these are legitimate concerns.

[NCTraveler]

48. Huffing and Posting has a great record. Home of HA HA Goodman and Stein.

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

Article in the op is laughable at best.

[misterhighwasted]

55. Well lookie here. Solomon's opinion about all things "Hillary" sounds like SORE LOZERISM!

Last edited Wed Aug 24, 2016, 04:10 PM - Edit history (1)

Solomon was a Sanders delegate.
When has he E V E R supported Hillary without unsupporting her in the same breath.

Puke.
Why is this here on DU?

Disregard This OP from a Primary crybaby, Norman Soloman.

[redstatebluegirl]

73. The post has been alerted on, thank goodness.

[deathrind]

52. No surprise here but,

Can't really blame her given what she is up against.

[SHRED]

53. I'm sick of Blue Dogs

Rightwing corporate Democrats.

[villager]

56. They do tend to derail "hope" (to say nothing of "change") pretty damn quickly.

Let's hope there is, somehow, some margin for surprise, this time 'round...

[misterhighwasted]

62. Leave it to Sanders Delegate & sore loser Norm Solomon to derail all hope

http://m.democracynow.org/stories/16280

He's never supported Hillary.
He wasted no time pushing the Repub media lies.
He's still hoping to divide the Dem Party that serves as the ONLY HOPE against an extremist RW governance.

Wtf Norman.
Primary is over. Get over your bitter self.

Stronger Together ~ Hillary 2016
You get it Mr Sad Norman?!!!

[ismnotwasm]

59. I'm so sick of conspiracy theory promoting Stein voting

Malcontents trying to upsurp and malign the democratic process

[SHRED]

63. That's not what I'm saying

I remember the DLC.

[ismnotwasm]

65. This is a horrid article

Black’s assessment of Salazar, Podesta and the transition team’s four co-chairs is withering. “These aren’t just DNC regulars, Democratic National Committee regulars,” he said in an interview with The Real News Network. “What you’re seeing is complete domination by what used to be the Democratic Leadership Council. So this was a group we talked about in the past. Very, very, very right-wing on foreign policy, what they called a muscular foreign policy, which was a euphemism for invading places. And very, very tough on crime — this was that era of mass incarceration that Bill Clinton pushed, and it’s when Hillary was talking about black ‘superpredators,’ this myth, this so dangerous myth.”

Jesus.

[R B Garr]

68. Thank you. It's so dumbed down and lowbrow as to be embarrassing to people

who claim to take this seriously. Just really stupid analogies, dated and out of context references. Good Lord, I thought this nonsense was behind us.

[ismnotwasm]

70. Exactly

Just horrid--innuendo and misinformation.

Just gross.

[SHRED]

72. Screw this article

I'll say it again...FUCK THE CORPORATE BLUE DOGS.

[misterhighwasted]

64. Soloman's "opinion".should be banned from DU.

JPR would be a more welcome fit.

#bitterNorman

[ismnotwasm]

66. This article includes some of the worst of the primary bullshit

From 'the DLC is all out to start many wars as possible' to a "super-predator" rehash

[misterhighwasted]

69. Yes. PRIMARY IS OVER. GTFO with this Anti-Dem bull shite

F this OP.

Smells like JPR

[misterhighwasted]

67. They'd love a Trump Presidency. Seriously, they really would.

Trump fits everything Stein & her bigot VP shove at the media.

Yaa Stein & her Bigot VP. ..Same as Trump & his Bigot VP

[ismnotwasm]

58. This is a disgusting OP

[ancianita]

60. Yeah. This OP is typical media horse race bullshit fearmongering.

[Glamrock]

61. I'm shocked! Shocked I say!

Yeah, not really.

[JoePhilly]

71. Manufactured outrage in search of ...

... the line.
