41. You're Wrong.. "In House, liberals side with Clinton over Sanders"
Sun Jul 5, 2015, 06:54 PM
Jul 2015
Dozens of House liberals have endorsed Hillary Clinton's White House bid even as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is gaining steam.

Sanders, a liberal icon, has emerged as a surprisingly strong candidate since launching his campaign two months ago, raising $15 million and making huge gains on Clinton recently among Democratic voters in Iowa, which will host the country's first presidential caucus.

Yet at least 26 Democrats representing the 69-member Congressional Progressive Caucus –– a bastion of liberal thinking that Sanders helped to launch –– have already endorsed Clinton, according to a tally being kept by The Hill.

The list includes liberal stalwarts like Reps. Rosa DeLaura (D-Conn.) and Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) –– both forceful voices in the recent trade debate that Clinton was reluctant to enter –– and Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and Jim McDermott (D-Wash.), three vociferous critics of an Iraq War that Clinton, as a New York senator, supported.

I can identify with your last paragraph - the zealots "out there" (DU home page) are descending... George II Jul 2015 #58
Which is why BS remains mired in the single digits with the most loyal Democratic constituency. Tarheel_Dem Jul 2015 #59
Sanders polling numbers are still very weak Gothmog Jul 2015 #40
The only places where his polling numbers are "strong" are in Iowa (not a truly organized primary).. George II Jul 2015 #60
There is no point arguing within either group. yallerdawg Jul 2015 #61
The groups are a good idea. What I don't think is a good idea is.... George II Jul 2015 #62
