field office to talk to us about his candidacy for a state legislature office. He's a Bernie supporter, but she sent him to us and asked us to sign his petition so he could get on the ballot. HILLARY supported him by sending him and we listened and signed his petition to get on the ballot. Keep laughing, because you have no idea what the definition of having coattails is. Where was Bernie for this young man. I look forward to helping him get into office in the fall because our district needs good representation and I think he will provide it.

Thom Hartmann shares about his conversation with a senior officer in the Sanders campaign, who says they are ready to raise money for other Democrats, but are waiting on the DNC to get back to them with a proposal.




It would be nice if you told the truth about Bernie once in a while. Making up your info is not the truth. The fault is at DWS's feet.

Mon Feb 1, 2016, 08:54 AM
Feb 2016

That is where we are now after Obama embraced Clintonistas to help run his Admin and helped lose the 2010 mid-terms. The Democratic Party is in the minority in Congress and in most state legislatures and governor's mansions today.

Cllintonism = the Democratic Party being turned into the Rockefeller Republican party

72. Rahm Emmanual was Obamas chief of staff
Tue Feb 2, 2016, 08:59 AM
Feb 2016

Rahm is an infamous Clintonista and strongly pro-corporate Democrat and a notorious basher of the Democratic base. Along with him, Obama primarily stocked his Admin in the first term with Clintonistas and that led to policy decisions that depressed the Democratic base's turnout in 2010. That is what Clintonism does -- support Wall Street policies that depress the Democratic base.

Obama was chasing that Clinton unicorn, independent moderate voters and it cost the Democratic Party the majority in Congress and in a majority of state legislatures. Obama learned that if he wanted a second term, he had to reject at least some parts of Clintonism, but while Obama won re-election, he, like Bill Clinton, never won Congress back.

I note that the Clinton campaign SAYS that they are raising money for down-ticket, but show the public. If indeed that is happening, then that would be a good thing to do. Words are just words. Bernie has NO super-pacs funded by millionaires and billionaires. Just, we the people. Over 3 million of us. Us'ns. Hoi Polloi.

Someone can donate $30,000 to it. The first $2,700 goes to the Hillary Clinton campaign. The rest goes to the DNC and state parties.

Hillary Clinton is apparently proud of raising money for the Democratic Party this way. However, I'm concerned about these big donations having a corrupting influence.

Mon Feb 1, 2016, 10:46 AM
Feb 2016

I am glad Hillary pointed this out. Sanders said on numerous occasions he would not attack or go negative and yet his campaign his been doing so with regularity recently. Yet supposedly Sanders is the most consistent, unwavering politician in the history of ever?

For the record: If Sanders wants to go negative, I don't blame him - it's part of politics. But when you claim over and over you refuse to go negative and then you do, it hurts your authenticity.
