No candidate can formulate their entire plan for anything in a debate setting. That's why they have their websites. And as a voter, it *is* your job to be informed. You do that be researching.

Good night.

What are you hoping for in the democratic debate Saturday? [View all] lovemydog Nov 2015 OP

Similar to the first debate. NCTraveler Nov 2015 #1

Yup. Agschmid Nov 2015 #22

Yes, very good. lovemydog Nov 2015 #30

I want to know HOW they plan on getting their agenda through this congress. bravenak Nov 2015 #2

... NanceGreggs Nov 2015 #4

And the idea of 'taking to the streets' is not a PLAN TO GET THINGS TO PASS CONGRESS! bravenak Nov 2015 #14

Then how would you like that question answered? HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #17

Um? Answered with a coherent plan. One that does not include 'taking it to the street'. bravenak Nov 2015 #18

Visit his website for plans. HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #19

Not my job. bravenak Nov 2015 #21

Well, if you're gonna sit back and complain that you don't know his plan HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #23

Why should I look it up? bravenak Nov 2015 #24

Because you said you wanted a plan on how Bernie (or anyone) will get things done HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #25

I have a right to complain as I please. bravenak Nov 2015 #27

I don't even know what to say to that. HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #28

No. A candidate has to get his or her message out. Not expect people to go research. bravenak Nov 2015 #31

Willful ignorance AgingAmerican Nov 2015 #38

lol. n/t 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #95

Well, where in that plan do our responsibilities as citizens of a republic come into play, then? PatrickforO Nov 2015 #87

How about the major VA bill he got passed through the Republican House last year? jfern Nov 2015 #33

His FUTURE plans bravenak Nov 2015 #34

My point is that he has experience in getting bills though even a Republican House jfern Nov 2015 #39

That was not a difficult bill. Let me know when he gets them to pass some socialism for americans bravenak Nov 2015 #40

He got free community health clinics to cover another 10 million in the ACA jfern Nov 2015 #41

Some people don't care about truth AgingAmerican Nov 2015 #45

That I give obama credit for. Just like Bill gets credit for welfare reform. bravenak Nov 2015 #46

That wouldn't have happened without Bernie jfern Nov 2015 #48

I disagree. It is Obamacare, not Berniecare. bravenak Nov 2015 #50

The funding for the community healthcare centers was inserted by Bernie jfern Nov 2015 #53

Signed by Obama. bravenak Nov 2015 #54

So according to you, Bernie can't have any accomplishments? jfern Nov 2015 #56

Not on Obama's back. Obama gets NO credit around here. bravenak Nov 2015 #57

That's not true, and it's clear Bernie gets no credit from you. jfern Nov 2015 #59

It's just funny how folks who hate Obamacare, only love the part that they give Bernie credit for. bravenak Nov 2015 #61

ObamaCare should have gone further jfern Nov 2015 #62

Of course! The only good part are the part you give BERNIE credit for !!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW! bravenak Nov 2015 #63

Come on, it's called ObamaCare, Obama gets quite a bit of credit for it jfern Nov 2015 #64

Yes. Obama derserves mad criticism for the same bill that Bernie deserves accolades for. I KNOW. bravenak Nov 2015 #65

I see you believe in recycling Scootaloo Nov 2015 #86

I was not doing it in 2008. I do not care about 2008. bravenak Nov 2015 #89

It's still the same argument Scootaloo Nov 2015 #92

It is a winning argument this time. bravenak Nov 2015 #93

No, it's just a bad argument Scootaloo Nov 2015 #94

its kind of like arguing with a kid there 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #96

Then he should stop. bravenak Nov 2015 #99

Oh, I forgot. You make the decisions on good vs bad. bravenak Nov 2015 #98

Actually, the story told by those at the Brookings institution paints a different picture JonLeibowitz Nov 2015 #51

I mentioned the 10 million people being covered by community health clinics jfern Nov 2015 #67

That was Obamacare. I want some Bernie legislation not wrapped into another bill. He has nothing. bravenak Nov 2015 #68

Legislation wrapped into another bill is just as valid jfern Nov 2015 #70

The VA bill is accepted. bravenak Nov 2015 #71

OK, she convinced her husband to support that jfern Nov 2015 #81

And Bernie supporters want to ignore his light record, lack of foreign policy, and vote for mass bravenak Nov 2015 #82

Ummm jfern Nov 2015 #83

Use presidential powers to bypass the Congress AgingAmerican Nov 2015 #35

Yeah right bravenak Nov 2015 #36

All it takes is a little courage AgingAmerican Nov 2015 #37

Yup. Calling for policy is not the same lovemydog Nov 2015 #15

We're on exactly the same wavelength here. lovemydog Nov 2015 #11
