Question to other Bernie Supporters [View all]

with Clinton now coming out against TPP do you feel like in debate Bernie has to challenge her postion on things like TPP?

I have feeling the Clinton stragedy may be going into first debate to try to paint her as the true progressive who can win and who
has been tested against the Republicans. The MSM will happily help sell that.

I'm surprised Robbins Oct 2015 #13

Horsefeathers. It is totally consistent with the underlying theme of her political career. merrily Oct 2015 #19

This is exactly what I said she would do. in_cog_ni_to Oct 2015 #10

I say the true progressive is the one who has been progressive all along - LiberalElite Oct 2015 #11

Clinton's statement in regards to the TPP is a lie. PowerToThePeople Oct 2015 #12

Maybe, but it's a damned good hint as to which way the winds are blowing eridani Oct 2015 #14

Maybe only a hint that she thinks her positions might cost her primary votes. merrily Oct 2015 #20

I doubt he will. Bernie has strong ethics and if anything he will say he is happy she joined him. Live and Learn Oct 2015 #15
