Threads like these serve to cheerlead Clinton. That's fine, that's cool. PoliticalMalcontent Aug 2016 #9

Well can you name a current Democrat who has accomplished more? KMOD Aug 2016 #11

Sounds like you're trying to goad people into knocking Hillary. Why? thesquanderer Aug 2016 #18

No. My goal is to celebrate the wonderul candidate we have. KMOD Aug 2016 #20

re: "My goal is to celebrate the wonderul candidate we have." thesquanderer Aug 2016 #23

You consider that cheerleading? KMOD Aug 2016 #24

For my part, yeah, I consider it cheerleading. Jim Lane Aug 2016 #25

Free discussion in certainly still allowed. KMOD Aug 2016 #27

Well, KMOD Aug 2016 #42

I suggested some possibilities in post #18, so I don't know why you're asking me again. thesquanderer Aug 2016 #45

What a confusing thing! wncHillsupport Aug 2016 #72

We know KMOD Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #79

A lot of people here just like to fight. KMOD Aug 2016 #83

Understandable. What you call a mystery isn't always clear even to us old-timers. Jim Lane Aug 2016 #84

Some people don't know REAL history and don't know how crucial Kerry has been in blm Aug 2016 #102

Kerry is an excellent Democrat. amandabeech Aug 2016 #152

Exactly - which is why the challenge made is not only odd blm Aug 2016 #153

Right. amandabeech Aug 2016 #155

Thank you for the referral to that editorial. n/t amandabeech Aug 2016 #156

You just don't like seeing a pro-Hillary OP for some reason. n/t pnwmom Aug 2016 #148

Kerry has accomplished more. She will be given the chance to surpass him, but, blm Aug 2016 #93

Love this celebratory thread! Haveadream Aug 2016 #70

Exactly! It is a time for celebration. KMOD Aug 2016 #76

Your question was "who has accomplished more than Hillary." thesquanderer Aug 2016 #75

The answer is up to you. KMOD Aug 2016 #77

Again, I gave names in post #18. I don't know why you keep asking me to answer again. (n/t) thesquanderer Aug 2016 #80

Well OK, then. KMOD Aug 2016 #82

if you read the thread you will see I mentioned Elijah Cummings and John Lewis, sheshe2 Aug 2016 #118

The intent was to challenge the "critical" & "concerned" to come up with someone more accomplished. thesquanderer Aug 2016 #119

actually it's been a wonderful thread to point out KMOD Aug 2016 #128

I don't see anyone taking offense at this as a positive Hillary Clinton thread. thesquanderer Aug 2016 #129

It implicitly attacks every other very significant Democrat karynnj Aug 2016 #134

The success of Hillary Clinton is certainly not KMOD Aug 2016 #140

You didn't name any of their accomplishments? KMOD Aug 2016 #30

Ever hear of IranContra, BCCI, S&Ls, CIA drug running? blm Aug 2016 #107

Just as you did not list HRC's karynnj Aug 2016 #132

He was very, very much unfairly maligned by the worst of the Repug hacks. amandabeech Aug 2016 #157

"currently serving Democrat" was the question nt pkdu Aug 2016 #43

Barack Obama, hands down. MgtPA Aug 2016 #22

Who should he pass the baton onto? KMOD Aug 2016 #28

I was responding to your OP, which did not pose the question of baton passing. MgtPA Aug 2016 #38

Well, to me Hillary opening the door so disabled children could attend school puts her in a lunamagica Aug 2016 #85

I'd say Biden and Kerry have both accomplished a lot. phleshdef Aug 2016 #49

Yes, they have. KMOD Aug 2016 #51

Kerry definitely does. phleshdef Aug 2016 #52

And Kerry has exposed more government corruption than any blm Aug 2016 #94

I think Hillary has done more to get women, POC and LGBT in the higher level of government than bettyellen Aug 2016 #124

Kerry was incredibly good on all those issues from the time he karynnj Aug 2016 #135

I love Kerry but I think the reason for this thread is we have seen a good nine months of people bettyellen Aug 2016 #137

This thread intentionally compares and assumes a HRC karynnj Aug 2016 #138

I preferred Obama and never expected anyone to genuflect for fucks sake.... bettyellen Aug 2016 #139

Nobody said you couldn't have your opinion. KMOD Aug 2016 #144

Well said. BTW, Gore was quite accomplished as well. George Eliot Aug 2016 #150

Exactly! KMOD Aug 2016 #142

Then it's a safe bet that you are not strong on modern history. blm Aug 2016 #89

Lyndon Baines Johnson? guillaumeb Aug 2016 #53

The OP said "currently serving Democrat" democrattotheend Aug 2016 #59

So it did. My fault and my apologies. eom guillaumeb Aug 2016 #61

Perhaps the Texans have established an "Eternal President" title similar to North Korea. DemocraticWing Aug 2016 #120

Obama has accomplished much more, of course. Vattel Aug 2016 #54

Not accomplishing a lot? KMOD Aug 2016 #55

I agree that her voting record as a senator is mostly good. Vattel Aug 2016 #56

Fair enough, and I'll take it. KMOD Aug 2016 #57

I don't think her record is exceptionally good. But she is way better than virtually any Repub. Vattel Aug 2016 #58

Well I look forward to her winning you over and convincing you. KMOD Aug 2016 #60

I am hoping that she does well as President. I hope that she is less hawkish than I fear. Vattel Aug 2016 #63

Stronger Together! KMOD Aug 2016 #65

One of my favorite Hillary senatorial accomplishments is lapucelle Aug 2016 #92

That is a good accomplishment. Vattel Aug 2016 #98

Look closely at #3. lapucelle Aug 2016 #96

Give your husband a great big high-five KMOD Aug 2016 #100

Nicholad Kristof wrote something last Sunday about the "sniper fire" story lapucelle Aug 2016 #87

Yes, it is certainly possible that the story was a case of misremembering and not a lie. Vattel Aug 2016 #103

It was the media being disingenuous as always. KMOD Aug 2016 #110

You must not know much about Kerry. Name me one person in DC who has blm Aug 2016 #86

You seem to think you know me. KMOD Aug 2016 #95

IOW, you STILL don't want to acknowledge CORRECT answers. blm Aug 2016 #99

What is your correct answer that I'm not acknowledging? KMOD Aug 2016 #101

Read your thread. Name someone who's accomplished more� OK�.Kerry. blm Aug 2016 #104

I have not dismissed any of John Kerry's efforts. KMOD Aug 2016 #106

That's absurd. No Kerry, no President Clinton in 93. blm Aug 2016 #108

You are losing me now. KMOD Aug 2016 #111

Sorry - I can't force anybody to learn about this blm Aug 2016 #123

Once again, I never dismissed John Kerry's accomplishments. KMOD Aug 2016 #126
