I don't know who that person would be. Our only hope is to work on getting majorities in Congress again

Highlight:

Candidate A makes headlines when she is finally asked a half dozen questions by the press. [View all] hootinholler May 2015 OP

Sanders questions, what, a few hundred? Prolly all scripted, you know, he's all like that. NYC_SKP May 2015 #1

Sure hootinholler May 2015 #2

He didn't provide any specifics MaggieD May 2015 #5

�I have been for trade agreements, I have been against trade agreements.� Autumn May 2015 #10

No it isn't MaggieD May 2015 #12

THAT was what Hillary said. Today. Autumn May 2015 #15

Yes and she is correct MaggieD May 2015 #20

�I have been for trade agreements, I have been against trade agreements.� Autumn May 2015 #22

She has answered that several times MaggieD May 2015 #28

So you say, have a nice evening, Autumn May 2015 #31

I'm not sure your helping Hillary's cause. Nt Logical May 2015 #74

Well luckily she doesn't need it MaggieD May 2015 #75

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

Troll his threads? MaggieD May 2015 #87

Well one reason might be is that someone is blocked from the Bernie group. n/t hootinholler May 2015 #98

Thanks, I'll have a look, but . . . ucrdem May 2015 #6

Yep MaggieD May 2015 #9

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

He said it specifically about the drone program. ucrdem May 2015 #52

Yeah, as I say.. Good Luck, Bernie, trying to win without the Obama coalition.. he can disagree Cha May 2015 #56

Yep and if they manage to scuttle the TPP that would slow down the train wouldn't it? ucrdem May 2015 #63

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

So an attempt at a little humor to contrast two candidates is a knee jerk slap hootinholler May 2015 #102

Yeah but answering hard questions is HARD! 99Forever May 2015 #11

The one who can get elected. brooklynite May 2015 #13

Reagan could get elected at the time, and did, so he was the President we needed? Dragonfli May 2015 #21

I was given a choice of two...one can get elected (in my opinion) and one cannot.... brooklynite May 2015 #61

Only one has proven unelectable at the national level this far. morningfog May 2015 #27

I can see perfectly well why Hillary sits down with ordinary people and listens to them and Thinkingabout May 2015 #14

Agreed MaggieD May 2015 #17

God told me he finds the melodious wafting JEB May 2015 #23

Oh, yea, did you get this information directly? Thinkingabout May 2015 #26

Yes, Lloyd Blankfein told me himself. JEB May 2015 #38

Okay, I just wonder if God died and Lloyd Blankfein was put in charge. Now I know. Thinkingabout May 2015 #45

Lord Blankfein to us mortals. JEB May 2015 #46

There's a bumper sticker for that: freshwest May 2015 #93

Policy over platitudes. bunnies May 2015 #19

So far Bernie hasn't talked about solutions MaggieD May 2015 #25

Good point, with all the talk shows he is on it would appear he would give a few solutions. Thinkingabout May 2015 #29

Did you miss his funding college eduction proposal? morningfog May 2015 #30

It's pie in the sky MaggieD May 2015 #33

Beat me to it. Free JC is an Obama initiative. nt ucrdem May 2015 #34

So you don't like the solutions he offers. Got it. morningfog May 2015 #35

Pie in the sky that has zero chance.... MaggieD May 2015 #39

Well, not too respectfully, you don't know what morningfog May 2015 #44

What do you have against retirement funds? Why not tax the capital gains? Thinkingabout May 2015 #48

Of course he didn't say it MaggieD May 2015 #68

Me neither MaggieD May 2015 #41

The one who's been owed the job for 8 years! The one who was co-president for 8 years! Doctor_J May 2015 #47

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
