on global climate change is Sanders. Any other candidate is a disaster for the planet. HRC will NOT cross oil companies and her Wall Street pals to make any meaningful change.

All other issues will be irrelevant when the sea level rises 10 feet.

more interested, though. It would give them their mantle of goodness back to some extent if they started backing climate saving initiatives, though that might not be in their charter.

So to day he's the only one to take "decisive and difficult action" is ridiculous.

He can make decisive and difficult RHETORIC. But at this point it's obvious to everyone willing to look he's nothing but an empty suit.

I have however looked at Hillary Clinton's and her support for fracking alone is terrible.

Add on her statements for continued war in the ME (extremely toxic to the environment), her support for the TPP (just needs some tweaking!) which will reward the worst polluters, and her support for coal, nuclear and big oil and we can answer definitively that our future environmental is inevitable under her.

In the NYDN editorial board interview.

IMHO, when the media publicized his performance in the interview, it was all downhill from there for Bernie.

Plans on paper aren't worth a hoot when the man charged with executing them, hasn't a clue about what to do.

in detail, specifically what sections of the law he would use. Sorry that isn't something that some people understand so they have to claim it was never explained.

Given, it's a reality that I'd rather have pneumonia than plague.

Only to a Clinton supporter would that make pneumonia a good thing.

Trump's the Black Death regardless.

There is no level at which a Clinton presidency is good for the country (though it would be exceedingly beneficial to the Clintons), except in the sense of "not so bad as the alternative."

For the first time in my life, I will not even smile if the dem wins in Novemeber if it's her.
