35. A prime Tim Russert media style non interview; an infinite number of possibilities, no content.

Tim may be deceased but is not really gone. The force is strong at CNN. Only relevant question did young Luke inherit the force from his father?

I've never said we should 'ignore' the mainstream media, nor has anyone I've seen on here said that. PatrickforO Jul 2015 #83

Did I say YOU had? "nor has anyone I've seen on here said that." wyldwolf Jul 2015 #85

OK. I had not seen either of these threads, but...did you read my message text? PatrickforO Jul 2015 #104

nope. I couldn't fathom how you could write so much and still be on topic... wyldwolf Jul 2015 #106

What's with the nastiness?????? marble falls Jul 2015 #128

Why would you consider that nastiness? wyldwolf Jul 2015 #132

We need debates, lots of them. Bernie is willing, was Hillary asked how she feels sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #3

Hillary's inability to lay out her policies in that CNN interview was an embarrassment. Guess we'll just have to wait til the pollsters tell her what to think and say. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2015 #8

Seriously, if you are asking for a job from the people, you should have no problem with telling sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #10

I agree with you completely. But, from Hillary's perspective, it's probably not a bad strategy, since she often puts her "foot in her mouth" on issues. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2015 #18

alternatively, it's just the extreme caution of someone karynnj Jul 2015 #56

I'll believe Hillary will face Bernie in a debate when I see it. morningfog Jul 2015 #13

comical Cosmocat Jul 2015 #17

It's interesting that no debate has been scheduled morningfog Jul 2015 #23

It isn't up to her Cosmocat Jul 2015 #24

Oh please. Don't spoil the narrative, it will diminish every opportunity they have to demonize still_one Jul 2015 #45

I'm sure it's mere coincidence that establishment Dems are limiting debates to 6.. frylock Jul 2015 #75

How many debates have the republicans had? Cosmocat Jul 2015 #103

Why the fuck would I care about how many times Republicans have debated? frylock Jul 2015 #108

Clearly you wouldn't care Cosmocat Jul 2015 #122

I wonder why Sanders doesn't have more say about the Democratic Party debates? George II Jul 2015 #125

Yeah, I get it. The uniform is of greater importance than the policy.. frylock Jul 2015 #141

No, it's up to her friends in the DNC. morningfog Jul 2015 #79

I'll go ya one better. If she and Bernie debate, and it looks like she's gettin' creamed... cherokeeprogressive Jul 2015 #82

I can envision scenarios. morningfog Jul 2015 #84

Re your last sentence: Q, no A. cherokeeprogressive Jul 2015 #92

Same reason the rs havent had one yet, with three times the candidates .... Cosmocat Jul 2015 #105

The goppers have scheduled theirs for August. morningfog Jul 2015 #117

Post removed Post removed Jul 2015 #123

So you want a debate in August or September in a state whose caucus is next FEBRUARY? George II Jul 2015 #93

You'd like that, no doubt. morningfog Jul 2015 #115

Has he enrolled in the Democratic Party yet? George II Jul 2015 #124

He's running for the Democratic presidential nomination. morningfog Jul 2015 #127

He caucuses with Democrats, he votes with Democrats 99% of the time, he's widely.... marble falls Jul 2015 #129

I don't make decisions about who should or shouldn't be included in the Democratic.... George II Jul 2015 #133

But should he be permitted to participate in the debates? morningfog Jul 2015 #136

The discussion was when the debates should take place, not who should participate.... George II Jul 2015 #137

Do you think Bernie Sanders should be permitted to participate in the Democratic Primary debates? morningfog Jul 2015 #142

It's not a yes or no question, bub. George II Jul 2015 #143

I'll take that as a "no" from George II. Amazing, you think Bernie should be excluded. morningfog Jul 2015 #144

I think you're wrong - Hillary will debate, she has no choice. But, she has to be afraid of Bernie & so she'll keep the number to a minimum. Smart strategy from her perspective. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2015 #21

People with strong leads tend to duck debates ,especially one on ones.... marble falls Jul 2015 #130

Yes, but that strong lead is disappaiting by the day. At this rate, by the end of the year, Bernie will lead Hillary by 30 points. Go Bernie! InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2015 #135

The exclusivity rule will backfire on Clinton Man of Distinction Jul 2015 #138

Hillary is already on a steady decline, as has been her pattern. She's startin to feel the Bern! InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2015 #140

And we really could use some REAL debates,not just those scripted short-answer press-conference-type kath Jul 2015 #73

Those types of debates will never happen, they've never happened in my lifetime, going... George II Jul 2015 #134

we were just hoping for some actual answers Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #9

The interviewer did a terrible job of asking questions. JaneyVee Jul 2015 #36

That is true Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #38

CNN offers paid programming that can be disguised as news arcane1 Jul 2015 #78

Waiting for answers, that when given ... 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2015 #71

The first time I heard that word applied to Democrats 'whine' was on a forum that was sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #11

Spare me the leftynyc Jul 2015 #14

Dissing the media will not hurt her. Dissing the people will and is hurting her. The only part sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #15

I see you enjoy your little bubble leftynyc Jul 2015 #19

Is that how Hillary wants her supporters to discuss this election, with personal insults? I live in sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #68

you are concerned that you have been told your group lives in a bubble Sheepshank Jul 2015 #87

I don't belong to any 'group' I speak only for myself. Nor am I concerned with childish personal sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #89

You are not part of the Bernie Group on DU? Sheepshank Jul 2015 #90

I am a member of several groups made up of Democrats on this forum. I do not know most of the people sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #95

so whre is the link to this poll? Sheepshank Jul 2015 #53

so tax questions are not Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #16

She's giving a speech on the economy on leftynyc Jul 2015 #20

I plan on it Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #25

See my reply 28. This poster is both complaining media doesn't ask substantive questions & defending peacebird Jul 2015 #32

Yep, very interesting Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #33

There's no law that says you leftynyc Jul 2015 #50

are you looking for the same amount of specifics Bernie has supplied or more? Sheepshank Jul 2015 #58

At least he said he would Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #59

bwahh haa haa haa *gasp* haa haa haa Sheepshank Jul 2015 #60

Sure Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #62

apparently Hillary has several things that differentiate her from Bernie. Sheepshank Jul 2015 #63

She was asked specific tax policy question and did not answer. You can't both complain that peacebird Jul 2015 #28

As I said above leftynyc Jul 2015 #51

Bernie doesn't find it too difficult to give his policy ideas in an interview, Hillary does. peacebird Jul 2015 #54

'I see no 'whining' I see people asking why a candidate who is running ' HFRN Jul 2015 #30

More horseshit leftynyc Jul 2015 #121

The less the better in my opinion. I have little interest in morningfog Jul 2015 #12

And they complain about her answers even before the interview takes place. George II Jul 2015 #94

Yep...it's a bit of a mob mentality. Sancho Jul 2015 #100

Bernie Sanders calls for comprehensive immigration reform frylock Jul 2015 #111

Did Bernie sponsor this as a bill? He's still a Senator. Sancho Jul 2015 #112

The only bill I'm aware of is the DREAM Act.. frylock Jul 2015 #113

I think this is basically a failure of people outside HRC's campaign to get it HereSince1628 Jul 2015 #22

The failure is in the HRC camp (again) Man from Pickens Jul 2015 #29

+1. It's not a problem unique to her campaign. winter is coming Jul 2015 #46

she can't tell you her policies yet Man from Pickens Jul 2015 #26

she's cleared by the powers that be - all she needs to do is endure and not make waves HFRN Jul 2015 #27

Hillary has no problem laying out her policies...she does not want it filtered Evergreen Emerald Jul 2015 #31

Give me a couple Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #37

Answer, yes, yes and yes. Thinkingabout Jul 2015 #40

How can "yes" possibly be an answer to "What corporate loopholes will she close?" n/t winter is coming Jul 2015 #47

She has a record and it can be read: Thinkingabout Jul 2015 #48

Lot of word salad on past positions Duckhunter935 Jul 2015 #57

The information is in the word salad. Thinkingabout Jul 2015 #64

Oh come on, it's just too difficult to actually go to a site and READ her positions..... George II Jul 2015 #96

Not this week, they probably already knew this information. Thinkingabout Jul 2015 #97

That's why I do what you did - give a link to the answers. George II Jul 2015 #98

She has made speeches outlining her positions Evergreen Emerald Jul 2015 #41

Does anyone really believe she wouldnt have voted for the trade bill if she were still in the Senate HFRN Jul 2015 #43

She gave areas of concerns. The final hasn't been given as of yet. Thinkingabout Jul 2015 #49

Salon? Really? Why... it's a right-wing rag! cherokeeprogressive Jul 2015 #52

she's bad for not taking the bait and trashing Bernie? or because interviewers largely do not ask bettyellen Jul 2015 #81

No, the MSM is bullshit, but predictable. morningfog Jul 2015 #91

she is definitely stalling, but it doesn't bug me. she's giving the Bern all the rope now, and bettyellen Jul 2015 #114

She seems to be playing not to lose. GeorgeGist Jul 2015 #110
