Damn straight, Hillary.
Bernie used the wrong word. Just because he shouts.. doesn't mean everyone is. There are other better ways to get our message out than yelling.
“I’ve been told to stop, and I quote, ‘shouting about gun violence.’ First of all, I’m not shouting.
Ive been told to stop shouting about ending gun violence. Well, I havent been shouting, but sometimes when a woman speaks out, some people think its shouting. But I wont be silenced.Damn straight, Hillary.

Isnt that the same kind of tactical thinking, the same kind of political pragmatism, that may have driven the decision for which you criticized Secretary Clinton, Maddow pushed-back.
Good on Rachel.. thank you, Emerald

She's all Halloween, Happy!

Hillary Clinton told late-night host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday that she would not bail out banks if confronted with another crisis caused by risky behaviour in the financial industry.
When asked by the Late Show host Colbert if she would allow banks to fail in the case of another financial industry meltdown, Clinton had an unequivocal answer.
Yes, Clinton said, nodding. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
The former secretary of state qualified her answer, saying that mandates included in the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial-reform package would safeguard against a situation like the 2008 collapse.
end snip//
Citing praise from New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, Clinton said her financial-industry regulation plan, released earlier this month, is the most comprehensive plan of any candidate. She argued the plan does not just focus on major banks, instead ensuring that risky behaviour perpetrated by other large sectors of the finance industry like insurance companies dont threaten to cause a systemic collapse.

Why does Bernie stop shouting then?.. if it's so ineffective.
SANDERS: As a senator from a rural state, what I can tell Secretary Clinton, that all the shouting
in the world is not going to do what I would hope all of us want, and that is keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have those guns and end this horrible violence that we are seeing."Why does Bernie stop shouting then?.. if it's so ineffective.

Wow.. good grief! Be in the moment, dude.
Thanks Janey
"Unlike Mrs. Clinton and Martin O’Malley, the other Democratic presidential candidate at the dinner
Mr. Sanders offered no homage, or mention at all, of Mr. Biden, a well-liked figure in the party. And he delivered a speech that he could have given in any state, making little attempt to highlight Iowa issues. Mrs. Clinton, conversely, paid homage to Iowa Democrats by name and attacked Iowa Republicans on health care."Wow.. good grief! Be in the moment, dude.

NO! "Members on the left are spreading lies to stop Hillary from becoming President"?!
Say it ain't so! From your link..
There's a few good Bernie supporters out there dealing in facts.. like that guy who said Hillary won the debate. Pure fact driven..

"Now she wants to be the next president of the United States – but members of both the left and the
GOP are spreading lies to stop that."NO! "Members on the left are spreading lies to stop Hillary from becoming President"?!

It pains me as a progressive and Bernie Sanders supporter to see people who are supposed to be united against the Republican Party perpetuating falsehoods that weaken our cause. Even if you cling to the belief that Monsanto is some evil corporation intent on monopolizing the food supply, why would you repeat claims that can only be found on right-wing websites like Washington Times and conspiracy blogs like the rabidly conservative Natural News?
