Hillary won't take a position on recreation marijuana even at this stage.

[Bonobo]

Right after Bernie said he would vote for it in Nevada, she says she won't take a position yet.

Cowardly.

[haikugal]

1. She is.

[senz]

32. She hasn't heard from her focus group yet

so of course she doesn't know what she thinks.

[Duckhunter935]

2. Yep

It was not accepted well by the audience either, lol

[tecelote]

35. Because the audience is all stoners according to Anderson Cooper.

What an ass.

[Duckhunter935]

39. He can be indeed

[socialist_n_TN]

3. Yeah, that one will leave a mark I think.......

nm

[Fumesucker]

4. We need more research, no doubt

[One Man Stands Alone]

12. I'm lighting up a research joint..

Want to joint me?

[Fumesucker]

17. Dave's not here man...

[Logical]

16. What are you confused about? Nt

[valerief]

5. Is the prison industry a big supporter of hers? nt

[Fearless]

29. Yes.

[Renew Deal]

6. I don't know why she can't just say no if she believes that

Do voters care that much?

[cherokeeprogressive]

7. "Elect me and I'll tell you."

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

8. Oops!...Hillary's advisors forgot to take that poll to tell her what to think!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[MADem]

18. Warren isn't even in USA right now. She wanted to be far away tonight, I suspect.

[Xipe Totec]

9. I thought I heard: Wait And See - Let the states figure it out

That's a position.

[Bonobo]

11. Wait and see is not a position. It is a dodge.

She ducked the question a year ago, saying wait and see about Colorado.

Abundant data is now available to make a decision on how you feel.

She dodged.

[Xipe Totec]

19. No. It is a position. You may not like it, you may not agree with it, but it is a position

Live with it.

[Bonobo]

20. It is a cowardly dodge. And it is SHE who will have to live with it.

You deal with that.

[Xipe Totec]

23. I have no problem dealing with it; I'm comfortable with it.

Not my overriding issue in this election.

[Bonobo]

31. That's fine. But most people will see her as dodging a major issue that affects their lives.

Marijuana is incredibly important to many people in their lives. It's a fact.

Her lack of courage on the issue is a signal that she is just another politician who will not stand up for issues they care about. And not out of her sense of beliefs or her personal convictions, but purely out of political cowardice.

[Xipe Totec]

33. I guess we'll find out just how important it is, won't we?

To be clear, I am committed to supporting the Democratic nominee, whoever he/she may be.

So I am not your enemy.

I am a member of the loyal Democratic ranks.

I have nothing against your candidate.

But I have nothing against the other Democratic candidates.

And should your candidate emerge victorious, I will of course support him/her.

[Bonobo]

34. Same here. nt

[Xipe Totec]

38. Yes!!!

[redwitch]

40. I have to ask you something. I have been wondering about this for, well, years.

How do I pronounce your name?

[Xipe Totec]

42. Aww. Thank you for caring!

[redwitch]

43. I have been mentally pronouncing it Zippy Totec all this time.

I am glad I finally asked and that you had a video all ready!

[joshcryer]

45. I don't think it's cowardly but it's not showing leadership.

On a no-brainer issue that already has the majority of public support and 17 states will be deciding the issue in 2016 (at least 11 of which will almost certainly pass it, bringing the total to at least 15 legalized states or as many as 21, think about that one for a minute there).

But I think strategically if the country is moving in that direction without pushing for it, why do anything. It worked, strategically, for better or worse, right or wrong, on gay marriage. And that's the safe approach.

I'm not sure I'd call "safe" cowardly.

[lonestarnot]

10. I'm a Bernie supporter and her position sounded pretty clear to me.

[Logical]

13. Yes, continue to arrest people for rec pot. Really clear! Nt

[lonestarnot]

21. She said quite the opposite and you know it.

[Logical]

24. Nope, she said wait and see on rec pot. Which in most states is an arrest! ......

Correct me if incorrect.

[lonestarnot]

30. You leave out further discussion of reduction of prison pops with stopping arrests for pot.

[Logical]

36. Bullshit.....

Watch the clip! She never said to decriminalize it. She just said to stop putting people in prison for it. I assume you know people get arrested all the time don't go to prison!
So she's fine with people getting arrested and have a record of using pot!
Quit making stuff up.

Here you go!

http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2015/10/13/hillary-clinton-democratic-debate-marijuana-legalization-sot.cnn

[joshcryer]

27. It's the wait and see attitude.

Which isn't terrible but is the safe approach.

[MADem]

14. She is taking a "states rights" approach to it.

She's not the only candidate that takes that approach to some issues.

Is it also cowardly to leave gun control to the states?

[Logical]

28. She is saying it is ok to still make it a crime. Correct? Nt

[Arugula Latte]

15. Dear Hillary:

[joshcryer]

22. I called it.

[John Poet]

25. LEGALIZE NOW, HILLARY!

Be bold on something.

I'm tired of the "careful Hillary": the politically careful Hillary.

It was the "careful Hillary" who dragged her feet on supporting gay marriage until the last minute.

It was the "careful Hillary" who voted to give George W. Bush authority to make war on Iraq.

FUCK "careful".

[sabrina 1]

26. She probably wasn't 'briefed' on that question. Clearly she expected the Iraq War

and email questions.

We saw that in the posts attempting to minimize it today.

Bernie correctly stated that the email thing ISN'T what the voters are concerned about.

Her campaign is trying to claim that she is dropping in the polls BECAUSE of that. Bernie is correct, that is not the reason.

Both Bernie and O'Malley were impressive.

I really liked Chafee too.

And Webb stated his opinions, even though he knew some of them are not popular with Dems. I like that, he was honest.

Hillary sounded like Bernie, except on the Pot question.

[reformist2]

37. Culturally, she's stuck in about 1996.

[Hydra]

41. And in her policies, so good catch there

The DLC keeps thinking this is the golden era of RW takeover, rather than the charred remains of what used to be...something else.

[haikugal]

44. She is old school..

I was surprised by that for some reason...very conservative.
