2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Bill Clinton speaking in Nashua NH [View all]zazen
(2,978 posts)35. they have very similar agendas, though, which helps with the experimental design
Sanders has a very different agenda.
I do remain sincerely concerned about his capacity to enact much of it unless we have a broader progressive coalition in Congress, and that's apart from his leadership style, which has not been very compromising (yet), as I understand it.
Assuming there was a coalition in Congress large enough to help the US move more toward economic democracy, it'd be interesting to see how the glad-handing vs. aloof style (or another one) would work.

if I can bring myself to vote for Hilary in the general, it'll be in spite of him, not because of it

since MSNBC apparently covers spouses' speeches, maybe that's how Bernie will finally get coverage!

no, your inconsistency is ridiculous: her husband is either relevant, or he's not

so, acknowledging/bemoaning hateful misogynist criticisms of her appearance="diminishing her?"

Even Sanders said that Bill's sex life is not important. Hope his supporters follow him.
