52. He said it specifically about the drone program.

I was looking through transcripts of his recent TV appearances to see how honest his pledge not to go negative on other Democrats is and I could frankly find no evidence of it. With respect to TPP he rips Barack for being an out-of-touch elitist who fell in with the CEO crowd after hoodwinking voters in 20008. And he doesn't hold back when discussing the Clinton Cash "issue" or the IWR "issue." I didn't want to get negative in the other thread about his pledge not to say that crap but basically he's said it every interview since he announced, and there have been quite a few. I gave up after about the 4th transcript but from what I read the stuff he says now is not much different than the stuff he used to say on Pacifica before he was a candidate and could be reliably counted on to rip up Bill or Barack over their latest sky-is-falling betrayal. If he really plans to run as a Democrat he hasn't gotten off to a very good start. JMHO of course!

Did you say that in 2008 when she lost a 30 point lead! LOL! nt Logical May 2015 #77

You don't seem to know what "specifics" means. Does she say that she would not support rhett o rick May 2015 #79

Actually no.... MaggieD May 2015 #81

Telling countries they SHOULD be wary of environment dangers is like telling rhett o rick May 2015 #85

You constantly troll his threads where you know we'll be. Why suffer us? Ed Suspicious May 2015 #80

Good luck to Bernie winning the Presidency without the Obama coalition.. and if he actually Cha May 2015 #43

Ucrdem, I didn't see that and spent a lotta time on it. He didn't agree with all of them. freshwest May 2015 #62

I think it's good that Bernie is getting people interested in politics, I really do. ucrdem May 2015 #65

I understand the Nader factor. Sanders said he would NOT be a spoiler. He'll support the DEM. freshwest May 2015 #72

You are a very persuasive advocate freshwest! ucrdem May 2015 #76

I never thought of Hillary being co-president for 8 years before as another notch in her resume. Thinkingabout May 2015 #49

She did push Bill to the left on some issues. MaggieD May 2015 #51

Yes and if she has been co-president she is more qualified. Fell right into our hands. Thinkingabout May 2015 #58
