35. Hillary Clinton does not share Bernie's vision for free college

If she does, that's great. Maybe she can copy his stance on the $15 minimum wage. Wait, already did that (sort of, on the state level, kind of) Never mind.

No, there is no proof of quid pro quo regarding Citizens United. But then, if you think about it, why would she want to get rid of Citizens United? Isn't it because the idea the money in campaign finance is akin to legal bribery? But she's above all of that, right?

Regarding the ACA, come on, really? Do you really believe that, or are you repeating talking points from Hillary? Bernie is not doing away with anything, only expanding it so that everyone is covered. Let's avoid this silliness.

Your twist on the protection of gun manufacturers is silly, as I'm sure you are aware. And for such a serious topic, that's a shame. The argument is sound; blaming the manufacturers for a gun that is made legally when someone goes and commits a crime with it just doesn't make any sense. That's like blaming a car manufacturer when someone commits a crime with a car. The crime is horrible, but there's just no logic there.

I disagree with Bernie on the Brady Bill. There's no such thing as the perfect candidate and I'm not going to agree with on every vote.

The crime bill has been discussed repeatedly. The crime bill, supported by Hillary (super predator?) and signed by Bill, was voted for by Bernie with the acknowledgement that it was flawed and he mainly did it because of the part that added protection for women. You know the talking points, so I'm assuming you actually know the truth. If so, then why bring this up when it's so easy to correct the record?

I appreciate the fact that you are trying to discuss the issues It's more than I usually get. But you've only addressed a handful of the many issues that Hillary leans far right on. And those facts remain unchanged, as I've addressed them for you.
