(62,325 posts)imo, it shows a huge lack of judgement. Bernie knew they were lying. THAT's what we need leading this country
2) She opposes reinstating Glass Steagal. That's more than enough right now for Wall St.
3) She has boasted about how active a participant she was in her husband's administration and USES her term as First Lady as part of her 'political experience'. If she wants to remove that period from her resume, then people will not include her role 'two for one' in that administration. That is HER decision, it was hers to claim they were 'partners'. So spare me the objection to honoring HER request that we look at that part of her political career.
4) Bernie has blown that argument out the window by demonstrating how to run a campaign without those obscene amounts of money which are mostly spent on NEGATIVE campaigning. See Brock and his Hillary Super Pac.
5) Sorry, saying you made a mistake on an issue as big as War isn't a change in values, it's claiming to not have had the judgement to get it right. And that's just one big 'mistake' she has admitted to.
6) Sorry, her record on Trade agreements is clear. Her involvement in the TPP is shameful, now that we know for sure how bad it was from the beginning. 'Gold Standard'. And she continued to support it until she found herself on the wrong side again, just recently. Core values would have caused anyone to object to such an agreement that would destroy our own laws, on the environment etc, but mostly, that would prevent OUR CONGRESS from having a say until years later.
7) Do you think we all develop amnesia from just a couple of months ago? We don't, she was pressured on the Keystone issue and refused to respond, 'until after the election'. Would like a link to the quote? And then, as she so often does, she changed her mind. Credit goes to enormous number of Activists and Organizations who achieved this. And to Obama for finally acknowledging how right they all were.
8) When the Feds won't pass a law, the way around it for the time being is for states to step in, which Vt btw, did, and do it themselves when it involves the Civil Rights of those who live there. It was either that or NO state would allow it. He made the right choice at that time, as always.
9) As I said to Hillary that night on twitter, I would like to see her volunteer to live on $12 per hr herself before telling workers how easy it is to work hard all day and not even come close to earning a decent, livable wage. $15 isn't enough, but it's better than $12 and she had to be pushed even to support that.
