The deal, announced Monday, would enable the two companies, whose combined market value would be $330 billion, to evade new Treasury Department rules designed to stop companies from renouncing their American citizenship, thereby ending their federal tax obligations, by moving their corporate headquarters offshore. this case, the U.S.-based Pfizer, whose history of making major breakthrough drugs dates back to the Civil War, would operate under the supervision of the slightly smaller Allergan, based in Ireland.

Sanders has repeatedly criticized the greed-driven approach exemplified by the Pfizer merger, most recently at last week’s Georgetown University speech where he described what democratic socialism meant to him and would mean for the nation if he were elected president.
Sanders singled out the U.S. drug industry for price-gouging consumers, describing its notorious lobbying achievement of getting legislation passed barring federal officials who run Medicare, the government health program for seniors, from negotiating for lower prices.

Bernie Sanders SLAMS MERGER of Drug Giants Pfizer and Allergan as DISASTER for America
Vermont senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has slammed the just-announced corporate merger of giant drug makers Pfizer and Allergan, urging the Obama administration to use its authority to block a deal that would raise prices for the public while evading billions in federal taxes.
“...The Pfizer-Allergan merger would be a disaster for American consumers who already pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. It also would allow another major American corporation to hide its profits overseas. The Obama administration has the authority to stop this merger, and it should exercise that authority. Congress also must pass real tax reform that demands that profitable corporations pay their fair share of taxes....”

MoveOn.org 2016 Presidential Forum With Sanders & O'Malley: Clinton Declines
In the MoveOn 2016 Presidential Forum, Sen. Sanders and Gov. O'Malley tackle money in politics, climate change, gun violence, racism, Social Security, the Syrian refugee crisis, and more. They're bringing much-needed attention to the real problems facing our country and the kinds of solutions that grassroots movements have been pressing for.

http://www.moveon.org/2016forum/
Meanwhile, progressives are so afraid of losing in the general election that they don’t keep progressive ideas in play during the primary and drag Hillary to the left. What would be the downside of holding off any Hillary endorsements until the primary is over or at least well underway? I just got an email from MoveOn that Hillary has so far declined to participate in their Presidential Forum on Tuesday Nov 24th where Bernie and Gov. Martin O’Malley will answer questions from the 8-million member liberal grassroots organization. Hillary already feels she can snub the base because she does not FEAR us.

"..Despite leading in two of the three early states, there are some vulnerabilities for Clinton. In both Iowa and New Hampshire, Democrats see Sanders as more of a change candidate; they are more likely to think Sanders would bring "big change" to the country.
Also, Clinton has been criticized as being too close to Wall Street. In Iowa and New Hampshire, her policies are viewed as being too easy on Wall Street, while Sanders' policies New Hampshire are seen as about right. Fifty-three percent in Iowa feel her policies might be too easy, and forty-four percent say they'll be about right. Seven in ten feel Sanders' policies would be right, in their view.

Sanders Camp Calls Clinton Tax Proposals ‘REPUBLICAN LITE’
SAVANNAH, Ga. — A senior aide to Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday characterized Hillary Clinton’s latest tax plans as “tentative half-steps that sound Republican-lite,” escalating the sparring between the Democratic presidential campaigns over their respective commitments to helping the middle class. “Given the disappearing middle class and massive income wealth inequality in America today, we clearly have to go a lot further than what Secretary Clinton proposes,” Sanders’s communications director, Michael Briggs, said in a statement issued Sunday night as Sanders campaigned here. The statement came in response to a pair of initiatives put forward by Clinton on Sunday that would benefit people who care for an elderly parent or other family member. The former secretary of state is proposing a tax credit that would defray up to $1,200 in out-of-pocket expenses, as well as changes to the Social Security system to allow credit toward a wage earner’s monthly benefit at retirement when that person takes time off to care for an elderly relative.
As part of an ongoing rollout of measures aimed at bolstering the middle class, Clinton also has previously proposed tax credits for college costs and large out-of-pocket medical expenses. Her campaign, in turn, has recently attacked Sanders for his support of measures that would raise taxes on the middle class. Until recently, both camps had attempted to make a virtue of not talking about the other. Sanders is advocating for a single-payer “Medicare for all” health-care system. Under legislation he previously introduced, his campaign acknowledges that taxes would increase on the middle class, but his aides argue that the overall cost of health care to would be lower because people would no longer pay premiums or deductibles. Sanders also backs a bill pending in Congress that would mandate employers provide paid family leave time after a child is born. The bill would be funded by an increase in payroll taxes estimated to cost the average worker about $72 a year. Clinton has spoken out forcefully for the concept of paid family leave but not embraced the particular measure because it violates a campaign pledge not to raise taxes on families making less than $250,000.
During a campaign rally here that drew close to 2,600 people, Sanders touted the bill, which is sponsored by Kirsten Gillibrand, Clinton’s successor as a senator from New York. Sanders made a similar pitch earlier in the day during a stop in Saint Helena Island, S.C., where he said the bill is widely supported by progressives in Congress, with 20 co-sponsors in the Senate and 113 who have signed on to a similar measure in the House. “That’s a lot,” said Sanders, who then repeated a challenge he has extended to Clinton to join those supporting the legislation, which he said would cost the typical worker $1.39 a week. Sanders also talked up his support of a plan to expand Social Security benefits by increasing taxes paid into the program by those who earn more than $250,000 a year. Clinton has said she is willing to consider the idea but has not committed to “scrap the cap,” as progressive activists call the plan.

BERNIE In TWEETS
Share with all......
The words of Bernie Sanders - as stated in some of his most recent Tweets. Bernie Sanders is about walking the walk in terms of enacting REAL change in this country. He is the only candidate not backed by big money on Wall Street or a SuperPAC, and his authenticity is evidenced by over 40 years of preaching the same messages of equality, justice, and fighting for the working- and middle-class. He just may be our last chance to vote for an honest president who isn't bought and paid for by the time they get to Inauguration Day. #FEELTHEBERN Share this with your friends and family who want to know more about where Bernie stands on the issues.

Hillary Clinton ATTACKS Bernie Sanders On Universal Health Care
2008 Hillary Clinton: "..Since when, do democrats attack one another on Universal Healthcare.."
"...Hillary Clinton supported universal health care in 2008. She then criticized Obama FOR NOT SUPPORTING universal health care. She is now criticizing Bernie Sanders FOR SUPPORTING universal health care. She is a hypocrite of epic proportions. She is bought and paid for by wall street and does not represent the American people. She represents corporate America and the 1%. I repeat. She does not represent the American people...."

Though the doors didn’t open until 5 p.m. Sunday night, those attending Bernie Sanders’ Town Hall at the Johnny Mercer Theater began arriving more than an hour before. By the time the doors actually did open, hundreds were lined up outside the Civic Center. Varying ages, most in their mid-20s, stood in anticipation of getting a good seat. Some literally ran to the front row as they entered the theater. The lower level of the theater was at 60 percent capacity within minutes. Half an hour later, the balcony had to be opened. As 6 p.m. came and went, periodic chants of “Feel the Bern” rang out in anticipation of the Vermont senator. The venue reached capacity, which is around 2,500 seats, and volunteers frantically searched the rows to find vacant seats for the stragglers. Finally, Mayor Edna Jackson took the stage amid, first, a chorus of cheers, and then, a chorus of boos. She welcomed Sanders to the stage by talking about his longtime passion to break down walls of discrimination. The thousands in attendance stood and cheered as Sanders took the stage, waving, followed by a chant of “Bernie, Bernie, Bernie!”
~snip~
One of his longest applauses of the night — a 20 second standing ovation — came when he talked about introducing legislation that would make public universities tuition-free. “People should not be denied going to college because they don’t have enough money,” he said. The audience was also supportive when Sanders began talking about legislation that would take marijuana out of the controlled substances act. “I’m not advocating smoking marijuana,” he said, and a few booed in the crowd. “It doesn’t make it legal, it just means that you’re not breaking the federal law. The reason we introduced that legislation is because I’ve talked to too many people whose lives have been destroyed because of the police records they get for possessing marijuana.” Sanders said he advocates that full legalization of marijuana should be up to individual states. His one mistake for the night was accidentally calling Savannah Atlanta. He quickly made it up to the crowd by playing it out as a confused man’s joke. “It is Georgia, right?” Sanders said that the main message he wanted to get across at the town hall Sunday was one of unity.

Ready For Hillary.....Meh.......
There’s cause for concern in Hillaryland, the constellation of Democratic advisers, supporters and politicians counting on the former secretary of state to lead the party to a sweeping victory next November. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s nomination is almost a foregone conclusion, barring any unlikely legal or health issues. Democrats will offer a more coherent and unified front for the general election than the fractious Republicans. Still, this optimism is based on the presumed weakness of the opposition, and ignores what polling suggests could be the candidate’s own vulnerabilities.
The worries of some Clinton insiders are focused on the general election. There is an “enthusiasm gap.” Surveys of voters at this early stage of the campaign show that young people, independents, possibly even blacks and Hispanics are not excited about her candidacy. To be sure, a number of women, especially middle-aged ones, are energized by the prospect of electing the first female president of the United States. That’s a strong asset. But Mrs. Clinton has a striking problem with young voters. A recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showed that a solid plurality of young voters has a negative view of Mrs. Clinton. She did even worse in a Bloomberg Politics national poll.
Here is a result to unnerve her Brooklyn campaign headquarters: Both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton get a 60 percent favorable rating with 18-to-29-year-olds. She gets 35 percent approval and 57 percent unfavorable. In the last presidential election, 19 percent of the voters were in that age cohort, which Mr. Obama won, 60 percent to 37 percent, providing his overall margin. There was a substantial decline in the number of young voters in the off-year elections, probably costing Democrats a couple Senate seats; a similar drop-off in 2016 might be decisive in a close election. Mrs. Clinton also has big problems with independent voters. In the nomination contest, she’s running well ahead of her chief challenger, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. But she loses to him among Democratic-leaning independents. Over all, independents are negative about her by a margin of better than 3-to-2. In 2012, almost three in 10 voters were independents, and Mr. Obama came close to splitting that vote with Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate. There is little doubt that Mrs. Clinton easily would defeat any Republican among blacks and Hispanics. It’s far from certain, however, that these voters would be motivated to turn out in as large numbers as they did for Mr. Obama: In 2012, 13 percent of the electorate was black, and went more than 90 percent for Obama; 10 percent was Hispanics, who gave 71 percent of their vote to the president.
Will more black voters stay at home in 2016, without the first black president on the ticket? There is some evidence in recent nonpresidential years that heavier turnouts are becoming a habit with these voters. Hispanics are the fastest-growing slice of the electorate, the Democrats hope they have an ace in the hole that will generate higher turnouts next year: The anti-immigration invective from Donald J. Trump and other Republicans. Interviews with voters and focus groups suggest that Mrs. Clinton has a “likability” problem; more than a few young voters, particularly, as well as some independents, say that they are turned off by her persona and that she seems old hat. In a famous exchange in a 2008 debate, Mr. Obama cracked, “you’re likable enough, Hillary.” Another liability is that, as of now, many voters, according to polls and focus groups, do not find her trustworthy. The public’s negative view was reinforced by her clumsy handling of the controversy over her private email server as secretary of state.

Vote-wise, after its summertime churn, the race for the GOP nomination is in a lull; all the debates, discussion and occasional invective of the past month have changed almost exactly nothing. But there’s some Democratic movement – a 9-point advance for Bernie Sanders with Joe Biden off the books, and big shifts in some groups.
At 60-34 percent, Hillary Clinton is 26 percentage points ahead of Sanders, down from 39 points in October. He’s gained significantly among registered Democrats and Democrat leaners under age 50, runs closely with Clinton among liberals and has closed the margin, to some extent, among nonwhites and women – results that may give Clinton pause, if not palpitations.
~snip~
Democrats
On the Democratic side, as noted, Sanders has managed a sharp advance among Democrats and Democratic leaners younger than 50, gaining 23 points in this group since October, while Clinton’s lost 15. They now divide 53-43 percent, Sanders-Clinton. At the same time those older than 50 back Clinton by a whopping 79 to 14 percent, and she’s gained 10 points in this group in the past month.
Sanders has advanced by 11 points among women, to 32 percent, vs. Clinton’s 63 percent. (It’s 55-39 percent among men). He’s gained 16 points, and Clinton’s lost 11, among nonwhites; she still leads by 2-1 in this group, 65-31 percent, a key one for her. Finally, Sanders has gained 17 points, and Clinton has lost 13, among liberals, to a greatly tightened 52-45 percent Clinton-Sanders race.
