25. Where has Clinton vetted Bernie?

Fri May 27, 2016, 12:03 AM

May 2016

What has Clinton said about his past Communist and Marxist relationships. His discussion on video (youtube) about how great Castro's revolution was and how it triggered his entering politics? His support of the Sandinistas? His service as a presidential elector for a socialist organization that calls for the public ownership of all forms of industrial production in this country?

Sheena, please tell us when Clinton discussed this and where? What did she say?

You can't. Because she's never done that.

The Republicans can't wait to get their hands on Bernie if he were the nominee. They would destroy him with what they've got.

Exactly. Bernie owns his gun vote. I'm not great with it, but it was decades ago Doctor_J May 2016 #20

The gun thing is why Sanders is beating Trump but not Clinton. hollowdweller May 2016 #7

That's a lot of cherry picking. procon May 2016 #8

Not cherry picking at all SheenaR May 2016 #10

It is what she does Bettie May 2016 #12

Wow. I never thought Time would be in Bernie's back pocket. kstewart33 May 2016 #22

That was his big mistake: he simply wasn't prepared for the depth of sleaze that Clinton is willing Scootaloo May 2016 #30

I agree with that. polly7 May 2016 #46

I agree entirely. She carefully crafts her sleazy messages Vattel May 2016 #49

What kills me is that some (most?) of her supporters actually admire that shit vintx May 2016 #53

Good question. nt vintx May 2016 #55

In the debates, Clinton made dishonest attacks on Bernie's votes. senz May 2016 #34

Wow. Had no idea of the backstory there. It's stuff like this that makes me think less of HRC. reformist2 May 2016 #44

She did several of those. Sneaky and disingenuous. senz May 2016 #45

She is the living embodiment of politics as usual vintx May 2016 #56

I think her campaign's tactics are worse than "usual." senz May 2016 #57

True, it's only 'as usual' for this kind of politician. vintx May 2016 #61

K&R for truth!!!! Betty Karlson May 2016 #47
