that she was spotted today wearing a brown suit, blue tie, gold wire-rimmed glasses and talking in a Brooklyn accent?

Go BernHill!

If she is the nominee, we need to keep replaying this back to her. Please.

That would be Bill Clinton of the 1996 Crime Bill that accelerated mass incarceration for drug violations. Bill has also been claiming that Hillary is for free college tuition for everybody except high income people.

Hillary can claim after the campaign that Bill is slipping a bit and he misspoke like she did on Nancy Reagan and HIV/AIDS.

As a Barack Obama ad said in 2008: "Hillary Clinton will say anything and change nothing."

There is no holding her to anything.

And we would be smugly told that hey, anything is fair in an election, and then - you knew how she was, and you voted for her.

listening, across the nation. Clinton is the one that brought this issue to peoples attention, not Sanders. No rewriting history.

Clinton.

She was the first to speak out about the heron issue in the U.S. Many Sanders supporters snarked at her when she did.

Get the facts

Your own words.

Hillary isn't pro-choice anyway...she tolerates abortion but wants restrictions.

--as long as there's a health exemption for the mother part.

I don't think Bernie owns any issues, we the people own these, but I'll always praise any candidate for doing the right thing, even occasionally a Republican that comes to their senses for a millisecond. Que the jokes that Hillary is a Republican.

Sanders folks create this fiction that Clinton is some sort of neocon. Then when her platform reflects the liberal ideology that she has voiced and fought for over the past 30 years she's accused of stealing Bernie's ideas. Remarkable.

....."Twenty-three million Americans suffer from addiction, but only 1 in 10 get treatment. Fifty-two million Americans over 12 have misused prescription drugs at some point, including one in four teenagers. In 2013, more Americans died from overdoses than car crashes.
......
It’s time we recognize that there are gaps in our health care system that allow too many to go without care — and invest in treatment. It’s time we recognize that our state and federal prisons, where 65 percent of inmates meet medical criteria for substance use disorders, are no substitute for proper treatment — and reform our criminal justice system.

Today I’m releasing a strategy to confront the drug and alcohol addiction crisis. My plan sets five goals: empower communities to prevent drug use among teenagers; ensure every person suffering from addiction can obtain comprehensive treatment; ensure that all first responders carry naloxone, which can stop overdoses from becoming fatal; require health care providers to receive training in recognizing substance use disorders and to consult a prescription drug monitoring program before prescribing controlled substances; and prioritize treatment over prison for low-level and nonviolent drug offenders, so we can end the era of mass incarceration.

Achieving these goals won’t be easy. It will take commitment from all corners — law enforcement, doctors, insurance companies and government at every level. That’s why my plan starts by partnering with states and communities across America to meet these goals and substantially expand access to treatment. We’ll ask states to design ambitious plans using the programs that make most sense for their communities’ needs. In return for strong proposals to address the substance abuse crisis, the federal government will draw on a new $7.5 billion fund to help states meet their goals.

My plan would also increase access to treatment by boosting funding for the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant by 25 percent, so communities have more resources to work with immediately. I will ensure that existing federal insurance parity laws are enforced. I will direct the government to reevaluate Medicare and Medicaid payment practices, to remove obstacles to reimbursement and help integrate care for addiction into standard practice. And for those who commit low-level, nonviolent drug offenses, I will reorient our federal criminal justice resources away from more incarceration and toward treatment and rehabilitation. Many states are already charting this course — I will challenge the rest to do the same.

Just because you haven't been paying attention until now doesn't mean HRC hasn't been talking about it and offering specific, concrete plans!
