She won by 4 million votes, and it wasn't because there were only 9 debates pnwmom Jun 2016 #16

I have no doubt the limited number and cynically manipulated scheduling of the debates combined Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #18

Limited number? What a joke. There were plenty of opportunities pnwmom Jun 2016 #21

It wasn't half the number of debates held in 2008 when Hillary "loved" them and she did back out Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #23

By the time they got to the last debate in NY, there was no point. pnwmom Jun 2016 #34

Least likely? whatthehey Jun 2016 #129

That was the FIRST and highest rated debate which coincidentally came five days Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #130

Anybody who wanted to hear debates could whatthehey Jun 2016 #131

Television is still a most powerful propaganda force especially for older generations and this is Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #132

And over 65MM saw them that way. Averaged over 7MM each. Only 29MM voted whatthehey Jun 2016 #133

65 million is incorrect, many of those were the same people viewing multiple debates, Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #134

How many? More than 36MM? whatthehey Jun 2016 #136

With just 1 post U eliminate 1000's of votes Hillary needs to win Omaha Steve Jun 2016 #29

Thats what Democrats said to Bernie Sanders. William769 Jun 2016 #39

And what "message" is Hillary Clinton, exactly? Scootaloo Jun 2016 #47

Here TYT/The Young Turks Politics Reporter Jordan Chariton reported June 15 appalachiablue Jun 2016 #2

He should have been standing with his fellow senators and sending a strong message about MADem Jun 2016 #4

It's not like he has to run for President or anything. William769 Jun 2016 #5

Really. No more primaries--he can get back to work. nt MADem Jun 2016 #13

Lame BS Comment billhicks76 Jun 2016 #7

Perhaps you are unaware that Chuck Todd's WIFE worked for Sanders? MADem Jun 2016 #11

Don't Confuse His Wife With Him billhicks76 Jun 2016 #15

It's propaganda. I have a Twitter account but like many non-young people, pnwmom Jun 2016 #20

What did the Senators pass in regards to this issue and why does it make a difference Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #8

He is a sitting Senator--his place is in the SENATE, not on "Meet The Press." nt MADem Jun 2016 #9

You didn't answer my questions and the first video on the link which I supplied wasn't Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #10

A Press Conference isn't "on the floor of the Senate" either. MADem Jun 2016 #12

Bernie got the message out, that's the main thing and if the Senate actually VOTES on this issue, Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #14

Mmmm hmmmm. MADem Jun 2016 #30

them, not you Craig234 Jun 2016 #41

Sanders wasn't there, so I don't know what you're talking about. MADem Jun 2016 #45

Why do you continue to attack Bernie? tex-wyo-dem Jun 2016 #83

Why are you asking me questions that have no basis in fact? MADem Jun 2016 #86

Your visceral hatred for Bernie is noted... tex-wyo-dem Jun 2016 #93

Your powers of discernment are lacking. MADem Jun 2016 #99

Not a single one of your posts on this thread actually addresses the issues brought up in the video Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #117

You continually make it "all about me." Soon, that sort of thing will not be allowed here. MADem Jun 2016 #118

Thanks for reinforcing my point. n/t Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #119

The point that you repeatedly target me? It's obvious to anyone who reads our exchanges. MADem Jun 2016 #120

I'm not targeting you. You targeted this OP with a large number, if not the most posts on this Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #121

No, I discussed an aspect of the issue you raised. You don't get to control the responses to a MADem Jun 2016 #124

You don't have to "cheerlead" for the issues raised in an OP, there is nothing wrong with debating Uncle Joe Jun 2016 #125

My point was directly related to your thread title. MADem Jun 2016 #139

What I'm talking about Craig234 Jun 2016 #126

He is not a separate entity. He is one of a hundred and he didn't show up at work MADem Jun 2016 #140

Yes, it's an attack. Craig234 Jun 2016 #144

He needed to be at THAT one. And he was MIA. MADem Jun 2016 #148

Define "need" Craig234 Jun 2016 #149

In other words, you're exploiting 49 murdered men to justify your hatred of Sanders Scootaloo Jun 2016 #50

What an ugly, hate-filled comment. MADem Jun 2016 #53

Because it is about you. Or rather, what you're doing Scootaloo Jun 2016 #55

MADem refusing to ignore this horror and applauding Dems trying to help is NOT "exploitation." SunSeeker Jun 2016 #58

Some of us have been personally impacted by gun violence. MADem Jun 2016 #61

Except that's not what he's doing. Scootaloo Jun 2016 #63

No, that is what YOU are doing. MADem Jun 2016 #59

The Peewee herman defense doesn't work, MADem Scootaloo Jun 2016 #66

You are not deleting this ugliness. MADem Jun 2016 #70

Sorry but Scootaloo is spot on... tex-wyo-dem Jun 2016 #87

I won't need to after the 20th. And you should worry about yourself. nt MADem Jun 2016 #89

Ah...the protective bubble of an echo chamber... tex-wyo-dem Jun 2016 #94

The rules will not permit the bashing and trashing of Democratic candidates for public office. MADem Jun 2016 #96

Where was Senator Boxer standing? azurnoir Jun 2016 #38

When you find out (since you're so interested) I am sure you'll let us know! nt MADem Jun 2016 #46

I'm not engaging in a double standard again where's Senator Boxer CA? where's Senator Leahy VT? azurnoir Jun 2016 #49

I thought Boxer and Feinstein were crafting an amendment to the MADem Jun 2016 #64

so where are Boxer and Leahy? I'm impressed Klobuchar did something though azurnoir Jun 2016 #65

You have google, too--the sea lion thing gets old. MADem Jun 2016 #74

I'm not the one singleing out Sanders for demonization I asked a question azurnoir Jun 2016 #76

How many of those other Senators ran for POTUS? MADem Jun 2016 #79

there are multiple threads asking/demonizing Sanders for not being on the Senate floor azurnoir Jun 2016 #82

I did not start those threads. MADem Jun 2016 #97

No but multiple threads are indeed demonizing ps I never said you started them azurnoir Jun 2016 #98

I don't think noting someone's conduct is demonizing. MADem Jun 2016 #141

I didn't make up any fact Craig234 Jun 2016 #127

YES--you DID. MADem Jun 2016 #138

uh, no Craig234 Jun 2016 #143

"Them" isn't "terribly clear" by any measure. nt MADem Jun 2016 #145

No, "them" isn't, by itself. Craig234 Jun 2016 #146

Didn't seem that way to me. nt MADem Jun 2016 #147

Bullshit BainsBane Jun 2016 #56

The only false thing made up is your attack Craig234 Jun 2016 #128

can you give us video of Barbara Boxer speaking? azurnoir Jun 2016 #37

Can you do anything but deflect? NT SunSeeker Jun 2016 #40

IOW no? azurnoir Jun 2016 #43

can you do anything but obsessively cherry pick Bernie and attack him and not be consistent? NT Craig234 Jun 2016 #44

How is noting Bernie is AWOL at this historic moment "cherry picking"? SunSeeker Jun 2016 #48

I find it astounding that people are annoyed that it was NOTICED that he didn't turn up. MADem Jun 2016 #57

We hold Obama's feet to the fire, not Bernie's. SunSeeker Jun 2016 #60

Indeed! nt MADem Jun 2016 #62

Boxer was posting on Facebook today while her constituents were asking why she wasn't on the floor azurnoir Jun 2016 #80

There is a link at post 75 that explains what she was doing. MADem Jun 2016 #84

No. I clicked the link the 1st time. nt MADem Jun 2016 #88
