(15,805 posts)She's been a Democrat since she started college, almost 50 years. He's been a Democrat since last year, since he realized he had no means to mount a national campaign otherwise. She's always worked hard to get Democrats elected. He's trashed Democrats, said horrible things about the party, tried to get someone to primary Obama. She's raised millions for down-ticket Democrats. He's encouraged support for a handful of candidates that he personally approves of. She's provided 33 years of tax returns, he's provided a summary of one year's taxes. She's laid out comprehensive plans for implementing the programs she advocates. He can't explain how he'd fulfill his favorite campaign promises..............................................

>He's been a Democrat since last year, since he realized he had no means to mount a national campaign otherwise.
Also, I regret to inform you that the #1 reason I can see for one of the things you pointed out is that he cannot explain the situation without exposing the fact that your candidate has told the country an egregious lie, which he's being too kind in not exposing her for.
Looking at that situation, it's really scandalous, so scandalous that it seems when i put the URL in a post people seem not to see it. However, you can read the paper if you follow the link in my sig. There are dozens of other papers around the world describing the problem in other countries ([lnk:https://www.policyalternatives.ca/publications/reports/gats-and-south-africas-national-health-act|Example here]
let me ask you a favor, I have never had a rational, intelligent conversation with a Hillary fan here about this subject. Could you just say a few words giving your opinion of it, showing me you are a thinking person and not another sock puppet?

(16,350 posts)She's a socially (fairly) liberal neoconservative neoliberal warhawk with ties to C St, K St, Wall St., and the most heinous multinational conglomerates, who pretends to be what she is not. Other than that, she's great.

(13,877 posts)And with her Awsomeness going to the Bush donors...well, I rest my case.
Same for Bernie...hasn't changed much...and I support what he has believed in for decades. He may not have been a Democrat...truly, I'm not sure what that means anymore. It's not the Party I joined in the 70s. But Party affiliation Does Not Matter when it comes to ethics and a consistent record and a plan for the future.
So, Democrat or Independent...it's Bernie for me!!!

When she was 16 and still living under her Republican parents' roof, she was a Goldwater girl.
What was Bernie doing when he was 16? Developing his bizarre theories on women, children, and sex -- and cancer?

Bernie wrote:
What do you think it really means when 3 doctors, after intense study, write that 'of the 26 patients (who developed breast cancer) below 51 (years of age), one was sexually adjusted.' It means, very bluntly, that the manner in which you bring up your daughter with regard to sexual attitudes may very well determine whether or not she will develop breast cancer, among other things.

When a doctor writes that the cancer personality "represses hate, anger, dissatisfaction and grudges, or on the other hand, is a 'good' person, who is consumed with self pity, suffers in stoic silence", do you know what he is talking about, and what this has to do with children, parents, and schools.
"These articles were written more than 40 years ago," Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said in an email to Mother Jones. "Like most people, Bernie's views on many issues have changed over time."

This what she said AFTER that so-called "falling out":
CDF is pleased to recognize Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has been a tireless voice for children. Shes brilliant. She cares deeply about children. She perseveres. Shes an incredibly hard worker, and she stays with it. Shes done extraordinarily well in everything shes ever done. and Im just so proud of her, said Marian Wright Edelman, President of the Childrens Defense Fund.
