Obama sandbagged it toward the end of the primaries.. frylock Aug 2015 #47

So your explanation is that Obama allowed millions of Clinton votes to go unchallenged? brooklynite Aug 2015 #52

Correct. And then, of course, there was MI and FL.. frylock Aug 2015 #53

True, Bernie has "thimble size baggage". Trouble is oasis Aug 2015 #73

You claim the fact that Bernie can not be bought is a NEGATIVE? That is the problem Vincardog Aug 2015 #128

Quick! Better tell Tom Harkin... LuvLoogie Aug 2015 #13

LOL...an endorsement from Tom (Mr Monsanto) Harkin????? bvar22 Aug 2015 #118

I thought of Vince Foster independently. Anyone who was awake back then pnwmom Aug 2015 #84

But yet... malokvale77 Aug 2015 #183

It shows the depths to which the haters will sink, pnwmom Aug 2015 #185

OK malokvale77 Aug 2015 #187

She'd be a lame duck nominee. The RW crazies will come out in droves, Zorra Aug 2015 #30

I don't think it's just Hillary fatigue, it's Clinton/Bush fatigue. Nor is it libdem4life Aug 2015 #32

So let's say you are correct and she drops out tomorrow dsc Aug 2015 #34

I never suggested she drop out. Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #39

Newsflash Clinton didn't have that history either dsc Aug 2015 #46

Hillary brings baggage. Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #48

and again as sure as the sun rises in the east dsc Aug 2015 #57

And again you avoid the key word here and that is "baggage." Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #58

With a choice of the two, Hillary or Bernie, I prefer a mover and shaker, one who has the Thinkingabout Aug 2015 #51

You do know that Congress' approval ratings Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #55

Sure do, the approval ratings is about Bernie also, don't think I would push this issue. Thinkingabout Aug 2015 #102

Actually, Bernie's individual ratings are much better than Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #105

He is a part of a low rated congress, not a feature I would promote. Thinkingabout Aug 2015 #107

You were the one promoting Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #108

Even without the email thing what is the appeal of HRC? Seriously NowSam Aug 2015 #61

The question of the year Doctor_J Aug 2015 #64

Right? Because her votes in the Senate served their agenda NowSam Aug 2015 #67

A pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro-environment, pro-immigration, anti-Bush Tax Cuts Democrat? brooklynite Aug 2015 #70

Bernie is all of those things and his votes on the issues that have impacted the world NowSam Aug 2015 #72

Because if Bernie loses, then I get none of those values... brooklynite Aug 2015 #74

Well I sure don't think HRC is inevitable NowSam Aug 2015 #110

"I think he can win" brooklynite Aug 2015 #111

If you believed he could win would you support Bernie instead of HRC? NowSam Aug 2015 #116

In 2008 I switched from Clinton to Obama when I became convinced HE could win... brooklynite Aug 2015 #121

Well, if that's what you feel you must do. Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #75

Except I'm not the one recommedning that course of action. JoePhilly Aug 2015 #77

Exactly where did I say that? Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #87

You're the one saying her campaign has already been lost. pnwmom Aug 2015 #85

I'm not advocating anything. Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #91

You're stating your opinion, which is not obvious pnwmom Aug 2015 #101

I am sure you will think this is a valid POV Cosmocat Aug 2015 #76

He has Communist connections! pnwmom Aug 2015 #88

I have to disagree. Live and Learn Aug 2015 #82

It has nothing to do with "allowing" Le Taz Hot Aug 2015 #89

She sold out tech workers HFRN Aug 2015 #106

Not surprised NowSam Aug 2015 #112

She may have violated the Federal Records Act and FOIA. AtomicKitten Aug 2015 #120

Are you implying that "they" would assassinate Bernie Sanders? brooklynite Aug 2015 #122

No, I'm saying she implied that in '08. AtomicKitten Aug 2015 #123

And who made THAT implication? brooklynite Aug 2015 #124

She did. <nt> AtomicKitten Aug 2015 #125

Facts never mattered to Hillary bashers, so this OP is not the least bit surprising. DanTex Aug 2015 #143

What facts did the OP get wrong here? TeddyR Aug 2015 #148

The fact that they are'nt towing the official party line . TheFarS1de Aug 2015 #172

Hillary Clinton will never be president. Let's hope, for our sake, morningfog Aug 2015 #160
