questions and answers


The one take away I got is that Hillary isn't promising things she can't deliver on.

on a question about college from a mother with 5yr old twins she said "don't edit yourself, set high standards for kids" meaning don't let the high cost of education today stop you from planning to send your kids to college if that is their interest to do.
and by the time Hillary is in her 4th year college will be affordable but kids may have to work etc.


Well that was from notes I took

I am not good at note taking.

From Me, we get dumped on by Bernie folks because he promises better stuff than Hillary. Well I doubt he can deliver on them. Again Hillary doesn't promise things that can't get done

[Thinkingabout]

1. It would sound more reasonable to promise the possible rather than the unreachable.

[NurseJackie]

6. Because reasonable people have reasonable expectations ...

... if you get my meaning. (You can complete the corollary yourself. You know, alerts and hides and all.)

2. Thank you for reporting back! K&R

[Cha]

3. Great report.. thank you!

[randr]

4. This is precisely why I will be voting for Hillary

if she defeats Bernie in the primary. In my local caucus I will be voting for Bernie as he supports all these things and more and has actually stood up and built a record of trust.
Proud to be a Democrat!

5. Here's the question that's in the back of my mind

How long after a Bernie inauguration will we see each of the following
$15 per hr minimum wage
Free college tuition
Single payer

[msrizzo]

7. Has Bernie specifically said he supports all these things and more

....or do we all just assume that he does. I really don't think that Bernie has as many specific positions and policies as Hillary does.

8. Thanks for the report.
