Keep trying.

now don't you have an op to post about yourself or one to post in the sports group taunting patriot fans?

Not a one trick pony like some.

me, me, me and slamming the patriots, along with your inevitable dull "yawn" do not constitute diversity. In fact they are the opposite of it.

Issues? Nah, true doesn't need no stinkin' issues.

Wow.

Won't work, doesn't work, but hey! it's a try at shutting down opposition. And I don't get the impression that you are trying to impress any one particular poster. The yawn is not relevant.

you're right. I don't give a damn whether I impress or don't impress.

Is the fact that to actually post a "Yawn" the person has to care. If they didn't it would be a shrug and a meh in the privacy of their own home as they moved on to the next post. By trying to show they don't care, it does the exact opposite. (shakes her head)

Its juvenile and says A LOT about the person who posts something like that.

Unfortunately a little too well since I could no longer see the replies to your "Yawn" and they are actually worth reading.

Perhaps DU could add a feature to show that comments from blocked members are present and would only be shown if explicitly asked.

Anyhoo, looking forward to more of your witticisms!

position on it. Worked on it for years, all of a sudden - MUST BE PASSED!!!!! - even though there are demonstrations against it in the other signatory countries, too. Personally - yeah, I accept that this is real important - important enough for me to base ALL future support and votes on how this goes. Anyone who votes yes - as they say on Shark Tank - dead to me.

And I believe she can and will continue to avoid doing anything but uttering meaningless easy to interpret as you wish platitudes about her beliefs on trade issues.

That doesn't mean it won't plague her.

Just like hiding from the press and only doing closed-door fundraisers, speeches with no audience interaction or townhalls with voters who have been pre-screened by her campaign to make sure they are friendly enough. As a woman, I find her cowardice in facing any real voters or discussing any real issues embarrassing. The fact that she is sending out her husband, her daughter and a legion of sleazy advisors to talk for her is just sad.

You can bet money that she'll wait until the fast-track passes before she comes out against the TPP. Because by that point, it will be too late for it to matter.

Every other candidate on both sides is giving interviews, talking to voters that may not be friendly and taking hard stands on issues. Hillary is raising money and running from reporters. Yet we are supposed to be impressed with her leadership. Give me a break.

There are 17 or so trade agreements in the USTR pipeline.

She's pro-corporate policy.

How anyone could be fooled by her is beyond me.

Just didn't want to miss my chance to make that comment.

I've no doubt that she'll avoid answering ANY questions that might pin her down to a "yes" or a "no" for as long as humanly possible. And even THEN, it'll be something like 'we have to ensure that any trade agreements we enter into are fair for all sides' (which is about as meaningless a comment as I could come up with on such short notice).

Very disappointing, so far. I hope that changes as the campaigns start to heat up a little.

I think her royal handlers (HRH) have got the talking/greeting points nailed down. First of all, get that clown husband on meds and out of the country. He actually was fun to watch and wonder what he'd next be "involved" with.

I'll miss Obama and his fantastic dead-pan yet hilarious delivery. Even while he has been involved in some stuff that doesn't seem to be in the interest of the country.

Bernie I'll never say is robotic or scripted - perhaps to a fault, not. Lots of people like stepford politicians, especially their masters.

except to do what the republicans do, attack, smear and make up BS about Hillary.

Sad to see democrats wallowing in the same slime pit as republican teahaddists.

about his opposition to the tpp. Hillary has obfuscatd. He has not.

And Bernie has been respectful to Hillary. He's gone easy on her and refused to take the bait.

Sad to see utter bullshit thrown out and touted as the truth.

Now put up or....

with your assessment, this is not a hard issue to answer either yes or no.
And Sanders has been very hard line on this issue and he has said he does not support this "deal".
This is why I am hoping that I can volunteer to help win this election, he has been specific in this issue----------------it is not good for human beings, and you are correct --------either put up or................
He also has said he will not attack another person running for this position-----------but I on the other hand I can attack------------and will attack and protect his flank, or any other progressives flank

As a matter of fact Bernie is calling her out on those issues:

On Sunday, Sanders broadened his attack: “On foreign policy, Hillary Clinton voted for the war in Iraq … Not only I voted against, I helped lead the effort against what I knew would be a disaster.

“On climate change, I have helped lead the effort against the Keystone pipeline. I’m not quite sure Hillary Clinton has come out with a position on that. So those are just some areas where we differ.”

Sanders also repeated his determination to overturn the 2010 Citizens United supreme court decision, which gave rise to unrestrained spending on elections....Clinton has said she will form a super PAC, the type of fundraising body brought into being by Citizens United, to fight her 2016 campaign.

Bernie, on the other hand, will not be starting a Super PAC

to ram the TPA and TPP through Congress. Who knew that Republicans and the Chamber were standing up for working class Americans?

Bernie is against the TPP and has said it everywhere and often.

And, what explicitly has Bernie said that was an attack or smear on Hillary.

The following quote might be the best example, and it's more of Bernie stating facts than anything else.

100 % behind the middle class and that's all you need to know.

Much like when they bought George W. Bush a ranch and a pickup and he ran as a Texas cowboy against Al Gore.
