I think she'll fight to get the remainder of the un-insured covered, that she'll maintain and expand on Obama's immigration policies, and otherwise continue working in a Democratic direction when it comes to policy.

But her policies will be HER policies, whether they're similar to Obama's or not.

BS isn't getting in so it's moot what he would do.

The President and SOS Hillary are Progressives.. they get things done. All berni does is talk.

Sanders continually resubmits proposals that he knows won't ever be taken up as a form of protest. This is not being "progressive" or governing...at all. He is stuck in a rut and has been for decades.

And then he claims his failure as some kind of moral victory

I think Obama has been a really good president. As sorry as I am to see him go, it'll be so exciting to have Hillary take his place.

Senate but Senate alone will be good enough for her first term). It will be hard but not impossible to, for example, expand ObamaCare to add a Public Option (which I prefer over Medicare-for-all) without both the House and Senate in Democratic hands.

That said, she can do a lot since Republicans, despite their public lamenting, respect her, not because she's like them but because she knows where the bodies are buried and which closets hold their skeletons - and has a reputation for not hesitating to use them. Ask Jon Cornyn who felt the painful sting when he, as the only hold-out on her confirmation as SoS, was told under no uncertain terms that the Clinton's have long memories. After returning to the hall, he cast a quick YEA-vote.

and George Clooney and many others are raising money for.. BS isn't.

President Obama has done an amazing job without one but it will be so much better when we do have it for Hillary.

work with so I can get things done for you.

I believe I'll send her a tweet about that. I'm perplexed that although she's fundraising for down-ballot Democrats, she hasn't openly asked her supporters every chance she gets to vote for Democratic candidates and give her the Congress she needs in order to get the work done we expect of her. Sometimes, you have to ask for the sale in order to get it.

President Obama mentioned it quite a few times. President Bill Clinton only mentioned it during a rally where he was heckled by someone who condemned him for DOMA and DADT. He responded with, "Then you should've given me a Congress I could've worked with!"

I have the "The Hunting of a President" DVD that Joe Conason had made, and I watched it with fascination and that's where I saw and heard President Clinton say those words.

George Clooney said that the Clinton Campaign needed to mention it more that fundraising is for a Democratic Congress, guys!

We've seen what the repubs do when they're in charge of the House and the Senate. President Obama can't even get his pick for SCOTUS nominee acknowledged by the hateful, mean-spirited do nothings.

on our message board after you tweet them.

I hope she gets them.. Robby Mook might be good, too.. & Brian Fallon.

Thank you! great pic!

used it much. I'll be sure to send those tweets to Robby Mook and Brian Fallon, too. Sometimes, a campaign is so busy trying to organize rallies, pressers, and appearances on teevee in order to win that they forget the most fundamental aspect - asking for the sale.

Hubby is a top salesman and store manager at a high-end furniture store in downtown Pasadena. He's always astounded how his sales team can work a customer, show all the specs, the choices in wood, material, fabrics, origins, and spend hours drawing-up complex floorplans...only to not ask for the sale! And then the customer walks out. They often wonder why my husband sells on average $110,000 worth of furniture each and every month and each and every one of his customers actually buy.

"How do you do it?" they ask.

He answers, "You're doing all the right things, but when you see the customer is ready to buy, you drop the ball. Ask for the sale, and 9 out of 10 times, you'll get it. Guaranteed."

That's fantastic that your hubby is so brilliant at what he does.. It's grand that you know how important this is and can pass on your knowledge to Hillary's campaign!

It's also interesting that George Clooney was giving them pointers, too.

Thank you!

It's always helpful to give a bit of background.

Yes, hubby is very good at what he does, and he loves his job. He could sell sand to an Arab! No lie. lol

Yes, very interesting that George Clooney was giving Hillary's campaign hints, as well. As an actor, he knows how important it is to sell your brand to agents, PR people, and the public, but he also wants to ensure that people understand that she wasn't fundraising for herself but doing it for down-ballot Democrats.

Hillary is an excellent politician, meticulously organized (thanks in large part to our most famous community organizer) and she's a very hard worker, but she's not a natural salesperson. I hope they see my tweets, though, and we can change that. I sent Brian Fallon one but can't find Robby Mook's twitter account.

I'll keep trying, though.

Thank you for all you do, Blue~

have definitely believed it was Mook's twitter account.

Thank you for all you do, Blue~

BS wouldn't but we don't have to worry about that because he's not winning the nom.

Obama has been an excellent President and he doesn't want to see his legacy torn apart. SOS Clinton will build on it.

Thank you, Uben.

No, because Sanders won't be president.

went in they had to start from the abyss.

As you know, stillone~

that we're already experiencing a revolution under the Obama Administration - the Obama Revolution.

Hillary Clinton has said, time and again, that she'll continue with President Obama's policies and expand on them (they need expanding).

Foreign policy it's hard to say. Very complicated world, situations changing all the time. I don't believe she'll be an aggressive promoter of using troops in conflicts. Like Obama, I hope she takes the long view and not rush into conflicts.

Here's her position on some of the domestic issues.

I don't know about Bernie, he seems to be a my way or the highway type of politician. I would hope that IF he gets the nomination and is elected President, he will build on President Obama's legacy.

If HRC or BS win the presidency, it will be the 1st time since Roosevelt/Truman when we had back to back Democratic presidents (LBJ followed JFK but in total it was 8 years). Imagine what we can accomplish with 16 consecutive years of Progressives in the White House.

Until something better comes along (and on an individual basis). Bernie, obviously no.

to praise Obama and his policies, and to specifically say she intends to expand them if needed.

As for Sanders, it's a moot point; he won't win the nomination. However, I'd say no, he wouldn't. As someone said, it's his way or the highway. With his "revolution" the whole point is to basically start over. It's what his supporters want and he knows it. Anyone who disagrees is an oligarch, a 1%-er, a Third Wayer, etc.

I posted this in both the Sanders and Clinton groups. For the most part, all have agreed that Obama has been a resounding success for our country...and I agree. This affirms my belief that whoever our nominee is, I'm voting for them.

We're all democrats (well, most of us) here, and I truly believe all want what's best for our country. We have differing ideas of what "best" might be, but all in all, we all want something better than what a republican would offer. Been here 15 yrs, so I have weathered a few primaries and prefer to remain on the perimeter until a nominee is selected. Peace.

Basically I framed it as, we're all trying to get to the same destination. We just want to take slightly different roads to get there. Peace to you as well.

I was about to do so myself.

One thing I'd propose is that HRC is going to have a much more GLOBAL view of issues going in than even President Obama did.

I'd say, 'how could she not?' Her husband was a president, she was a senator, she was secretary of state who traveled the globe, and the Clinton Foundation has a global presence. She is who we need in this time.

It's almost as if the question pre-assumes, or wants to slyly suggest, that Obama's policies are bad, or that they've somehow failed.

But it could just be my imagination and I'm reading too much into things.

Or am I?

Especially after having been stalked relentlessly within our own group for months.

If Bernie want's to somehow do the same for Vermont, I suppose he can try. I don't think Senators have much say except for one vote on a national level.
