Boxer: Clinton is the one that can unite this country.

[Skwmom]

One of the most polarizing politicians of all times (if not the most) will unite this country?



I don't know if she could hear what was being said on Hardball before she went on (Rendall was talking about Biden or Bernie getting the nomination if something happens with the FBI) but she looked really pissed off.

[NCTraveler]

1. Fuck the hate directed at Boxer. Nt

[Skwmom]

4. What hate? I am laughing at how ludicrous her statement was.

[NCTraveler]

10. Exactly.

You have been laughing at one of progressives strongest voices for a couple of weeks. Boxer has been fighting for us for decades. You will pack it in in a week.

I'll be hidden for fighting for progressives while you are cheered for dividing them. The new DU.

[frylock]

22. Now I'm laughing too!

She made her own bed.

[Bleacher Creature]

24. Not if I get a vote.

Thanks for being a voice of sanity in this thread - no matter how harsh you do it.

[pangaia]

51. She may have been 'fighting' the good fight for decades,

BUT.....not now she's not.

[CorporatistNation]

49. Boxer... Just Another "Deadender" Who Want s US To Look The ... Other Way On ALL Of The

convoluted MIS Judgements, MIS Speaks, Mistakes that Hillary Inc. wants us to believe is defined as "experience? I'm an "experienced" hockey player. That is true. Does That "experience" qualify me to play in the NHL? If anything, Hillary's "experience" demonstrates that she is little more than a narcissistic bungler who is ONLY out to achieve her own personal ambitions... no matter the cost!

What is this but more evidence of that which I have described?

e.g., MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

[roguevalley]

45. Barbara has a stake in this race for herself personally

she also believes we will unite behind a woman who has 9% ratings of trustworthiness in the last poll out. That means 91% don't trust her and that includes a shit load of her own supporters. Go away, Barbara boxer and critiquing her is not hating. WTF? how old are the people here anyway?

[NCTraveler]

52. I don't plan on going anywhere and Boxer has been around for decades.

Your pleas to "go away" are a joke at best.

"how old are the people here anyway?"

Many are clearly not old enough to know who Boxer is. Excellent point. Maybe we should start by educating the youth on her career.

[Sky Masterson]

2. bullshit

She is the next Kerry. The next Gore. And the Dems never learn.

[TeddyR]

39. You disparage Gore and Kerry

By comparing them to Boxer.

[LibDemAlways]

3. Clinton has been very effective in uniting

Republicans against her and in uniting left leaning Democrats against her. That is about as much uniting as we can reasonably expect from her.

[Waiting For Everyman]

5. Boxer is a joke.

And so is this whole situation.

[pacalo]

6. Isn't that precious.

I think Mz. Nuthinburger is ready for retirement. She's not making any sense.

[Cobalt Violet]

9. let them eat nothingburgers!

[Eric J in MN]

23. Boxer is retiring from the Senate. NT

NT

[pacalo]

32. Yes, I even added my name to the "We'll miss you" memo

months ago thanking her for her service before she became a willing participant in DWS's "Let's Divide the Democratic Electorate!1!" chicanery.

[Barack_America]

7. She's done a heck of a job uniting the GOP...

...and is quickly uniting conservative independents as well.

So that's at least, what, 50-60% of the population right there!

[Cobalt Violet]

8. Are we suppose to unite around "no we can't"?

Well NO I can't!

[coco77]

28. Exactly!

[catnhatnh]

11. Dear Barbara

I'm blowing you kisses even as you read this and if you have a minute I'll flip you the bird too.

[disillusioned73]

40. Thatz where i'm @ w/ her as well..

[Dem2]

12. Why are you so nasty?

What is wrong with you - do you hate Democrats so much that you are willing to sabotage the party over hate for one person?

[seabeyond]

14. Or a woman in power. Nt

[grossproffit]

48. Bingo!

[Cal33]

20. I didn't see your post until now. I just made a crack at Boxer. I don't like Hillary, but

I don't hate her. I don't think she would make a good president either. However, as
I've said many times here at DU, I would vote for Hillary against any Republican.

[coco77]

30. Most of them are..

DINO

[seabeyond]

13. I think she can. She is that good, able to work with people with decades of attacks.

I think this is one of her strengths and I certainly see her weaknesses.

[TDale313]

57. She has a *lot* of strengths, however

Being a uniter? Not one of them. The Clintons have always been divisive. And they've never hidden their disdain for the left. The Clinton model has always been that they need the more conservative Dems/independents and the lefties will get in line, no matter how far right they drag things in an effort to court voters who frankly aren't that into them.

[seabeyond]

58. I think Clinton is an excellent uniter, and a great opportunity for her to show her skills.

Clinton is progressive. I get that Sanders and supporters must paint her to the right, down right calling her a republican lite, but that is not fact.

For example. Free college. Free college allows everyone to absorb the cost and the richest to pay a much less cost than what they would otherwise pay for and easily afford. Sanders would have all of us picking up the tab. Where as Clinton looks to help those that need the help, not the rich or those that can afford. I suggest that Clinton's plan is more progressive.

So we constantly have to hear about how right she is of Sanders, but I think it is bullshit.

[antigop]

15. BWAHAHAHAHA! nt

[onecaliberal]

16. Uhm.... that would be funny if not so sad.

[felix_numinous]

17. K&R for irony

If you can’t be a good example, then you’ll just have to be a horrible warning.

[Cal33]

18. Could Boxer be punch-drunk???

[Starry Messenger]

19. Keep it up--you've got a whole week to keep alienating CA voters.

[Bleacher Creature]

21. Great attitude you've got there!

[coco77]

25. My first thought when I read this was..

WTF! Lol! It will very hard to vote for Clinton after listening to some of the Bull her surrogates have thrown and the demands that we go along to get along with the same old shit.

Many of them don't give a damn they just care about their own pocketbooks that is why they are so angry about Sanders and his supporters. Most of them have gotten rich talking the same old shit for decades and haven't done nothing. I may not vote, fuck em!

Feinstein needs to STFU and there are many more on that list who I could name. I have went back and forth throughout this campaign deciding if I can vote for Hillary, in the past I really liked her but her click have gotten on my nerves with their demands that we all follow along.

Most of them want to keep those seats then after they win they don't do shit and complain about how hard it is. I guess it is hard when you are lining your pockets and helping wall street lining theirs even more.

[jeff47]

26. ....was she conscious in the 90s?

The only "uniting" Clinton did was uniting the Republican party. And given the slime she's paid Brock to hurl at Democrats, she's getting all set to do the same.

[Press Virginia]

27. Wow!

[mmonk]

29. I want what she's smoking.

[Throd]

31. Or huffing.

[Live and Learn]

33. Boxer's new carreer as comedienne. LOL

[BillZBubb]

34. Boxer isn't THAT stupid is she? She can't really believe that nonsense.

[bigwillq]

36. I disagree

I think Clinton can, but I don't think Clinton is the only one who can.

[disillusioned73]

37. lol....

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

38. Shouldn't "the one" be capitalized like The Donald?

[Joob]

41. Oh she's definitely uniting us....

Hard not to take Bernie seriously when you take a look over at Hillary and her campaign.

[AgingAmerican]

42. She sure did a bang up job uniting the Democratic party...

[aikoaiko]

43. Unite the country? That must be high quality California grass

AK47 or Chernobyl strains?

[Zorra]

44. She must be talking about uniting corporations and the 1% against the 99%.

It makes sense if you look at it from a Third Way perspective.

[Betty Karlson]

46. Boxer has done some great things, but lately she has become completely clueless.

[Vinca]

47. She'll make the Obama years seem unified.

What a silly thing for Boxer to say. It's one thing to be a supporter and another to be totally delusional.

[pdsimdars]

50. Yes, we all already knew that pot was legal in California. . .but thanks for the reminder.

[Howler]

53. Uh huh.

The same way boxer united the nevada caucas! I am sure.

[CountAllVotes]

56. Nevada caucus

Yep, that big kissie poo on stage really was a bit too much for me and probably a lot of other people too.

[Howler]

59. Exactly.

And the fact her surrogates keep saying that she is already going to be president no matter what happens does not help the trustworthiness issues that we have with Clinton. But it certainly has opened all our eyes to the trustworthiness of the d.n.c. ! And the entire democratic establishment.

[yourpaljoey]

54. Muhahahahaha... that's good

I almost ruptured mah guts!

[ladjf]

55. What a joke! nt
