Divisive campaign Hillary is running? Trenzalore Apr 2016 #1

You are right. DemocracyDirect Apr 2016 #2

One candidate stood on a stage and called the other unqualified for the Presidency Trenzalore Apr 2016 #3

So once again Sanders told the truth timmymoff Apr 2016 #4

That's rich Art_from_Ark Apr 2016 #5

When I was a kid my dad taught me to read articles Trenzalore Apr 2016 #17

After nearly 40 years of being familiar with Hillary, Art_from_Ark Apr 2016 #18

That is a hell of a lot different than standing on a stage Trenzalore Apr 2016 #23

You prefer equivocation Blue_In_AK Apr 2016 #26

No it's not. 840high Apr 2016 #78

Are you 5? That's exactly what she says. Her god damn triangulation is why everyone calls her onecaliberal Apr 2016 #38

If you are patient enough to watch more than the sound bite. DemocracyDirect Apr 2016 #7

She isn't qualified and no amount of faux poutrage changes that. 99Forever Apr 2016 #21

And the other spent an interview Bettie Apr 2016 #42

At no time did she say he was unqualified nt. Trenzalore Apr 2016 #43

Which is why I said used weasel words to Bettie Apr 2016 #48

I supported Obama in 2008 Trenzalore Apr 2016 #52

Your premise is false, but assuming it's true, candidates should be able to handle some hits hellofromreddit Apr 2016 #19

I'm not complaining about the tone of the Sanders campaign Trenzalore Apr 2016 #20

Sanders hasn't been flinging shit at voters, but Clinton and her surrogates have hellofromreddit Apr 2016 #37

Sanders started his campaign talking about his goals Trenzalore Apr 2016 #39

He's not attacking voters hellofromreddit Apr 2016 #44

I've only been on here a month Trenzalore Apr 2016 #46

Your argument is sloppy, and the snide comments don't help it hellofromreddit Apr 2016 #56

Yeah, cuz we should ignore all the despicable facts about her. nt revbones Apr 2016 #53

Hillary might lose some Bernie or Bust nutjobs from the fringe left, DanTex Apr 2016 #6

"....and some, I assume, are good people." hellofromreddit Apr 2016 #8

And you will never get the independents by dismissing them. hobbit709 Apr 2016 #11

Very few independents are Bernie or Busters. DanTex Apr 2016 #12

That's not the point and you know it. Dismissing them is the point. hobbit709 Apr 2016 #13

It's my point. Not all independents are the same. If a few whackjobs want to go BoB, DanTex Apr 2016 #14

focus on moderate independents by dismissing them as young and gullible like your St. Hillary did? hobbit709 Apr 2016 #15

Bernie or Busters are not moderate independents. DanTex Apr 2016 #16

Bending over backwards to please fringe nutjobs that will never be happy isn't necessary n/t SFnomad Apr 2016 #29

I'm not a fringe nut job unapatriciated Apr 2016 #55

PUMAs thought they were necessary too ... they weren't SFnomad Apr 2016 #59

No the problem is Clinton's unapatriciated Apr 2016 #62

Yep, the PUMAs said the same thing about Obama as well ... in the end, they were irrelevant SFnomad Apr 2016 #63

The only person that is being dramatic and condescending unapatriciated Apr 2016 #65

Yes, I realize the PUMAs were Clinton supporters ... SFnomad Apr 2016 #67

But Hillary, the former Senator from Wall Street, will get lots of votes from filthy rich people! imagine2015 Apr 2016 #33

Well done PDittie Apr 2016 #9

Dismissing them is a guaranteed method of NOT getting their vote in the GE. hobbit709 Apr 2016 #10

Yeah, the children whose candidate lost the nomination and decided to take their ball and go home SFnomad Apr 2016 #32

Attacking voters is a bad strategy hellofromreddit Apr 2016 #40

The PUMAs in 2008 were bitter sore losers, just like the #BernieOrBust'ers are today SFnomad Apr 2016 #41

How is it extortion? hellofromreddit Apr 2016 #45

Haven't you been keeping up? SFnomad Apr 2016 #50

Acting like an ass isn't helping your position hellofromreddit Apr 2016 #54

It's pretty clear no matter how many times I explain it to you, you won't understand n/t SFnomad Apr 2016 #58
