2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Can I have a list of Hillary's Pro POC legislation? [View all]Indepatriot
(1,253 posts)146. Window dressing, plain and simple. Nice, appropriate, but in no way addresses the day to day

Not dispointed. I believe in credit where it's due. Does she have anything outside of gun control?

Votes don't count according to Bravenak's rules. It has to be legislation she proposed that passed.

Wrong on all counts. It's not the defnining issue and the NRA rates Bernie D- to F.

Co-sponsored legislation doesn't count. You can sign on to legislation at the last second.
