put your little heart to rest and have no fear. You know it never happened to Obama either. I will say that other than this Bengazi horse shit those "tough spots" she has found herself in were of her own making. That should give anyone pause.

You know the republican make shit up - Right? liberal N proud Oct 2015 #1

Yes, of course they do. That's not the issue. MineralMan Oct 2015 #6

Can you name any other past nominee who we've seen in such circumstances? No. Bluenorthwest Oct 2015 #17

Good point, and while I could care less if he could handle cons with cool like Hillary randys1 Oct 2015 #52

Oh hell yes they would be all over Bernie workinclasszero Oct 2015 #62

Exactly. DCBob Oct 2015 #76

Interesting question, especially because they're probably nilram Oct 2015 #2

This would be very difficult to discuss in a meaningful way. NCTraveler Oct 2015 #3

He did OK in the debates, but that's not really MineralMan Oct 2015 #9

That is why I think it would be difficult to discuss. NCTraveler Oct 2015 #11

I don't think there's a good way to discuss it, either. MineralMan Oct 2015 #14

"I'm not sure that's the best approach in some circumstances. " NCTraveler Oct 2015 #19

Netroots Nation was a difficult situation, yes. MineralMan Oct 2015 #20

You are correct there isn't much to go on in this area. NCTraveler Oct 2015 #23

Perhaps so. I'll certainly be watching them all. MineralMan Oct 2015 #24

Bernie didn't just walk off and leave in Seattle, at first they offered Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #39

Not a bunch of idiots with absolutely no facts though either. TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #79

I don't disagree, actually. MineralMan Oct 2015 #81

Well, I assume he would answer questions, and not cry or poop himself. TwilightGardener Oct 2015 #4

Agree totally. Wellstone ruled Oct 2015 #5

That's possible. She went into that hearing with a MineralMan Oct 2015 #25

Undoubtedly, the same way he handles them in the Senate. Live and Learn Oct 2015 #7

OK. Give me a link to something similar where Bernie shows his mettle MineralMan Oct 2015 #13

Bernie's reputation for honesty and caring is very well known. JDPriestly Oct 2015 #35

Thanks for the reply. I guess there's nothing for me to look at. MineralMan Oct 2015 #36

Bernie has a history of storming out. JaneyVee Oct 2015 #40

Good for him. JDPriestly Oct 2015 #43

You just contradicted yourself. R B Garr Oct 2015 #51

Bernie has a history of listening. Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #44

What percentage of committee meetings or meetings or hearings of any kind riderinthestorm Oct 2015 #47

No he doesn't. Armstead Oct 2015 #49

Just more bullshit coming from the keyboards Art_from_Ark Oct 2015 #66

He gets riled very easy, and he has been babied R B Garr Oct 2015 #50

Good lord artislife Oct 2015 #58

You are already supporting Hillary, so your conjecture is pointless, unless you believe you will be djean111 Oct 2015 #8

Yes, I am supporting Hillary. In part, it is because of her experience MineralMan Oct 2015 #10

I support Bernie because of his stances on the issues I care about. djean111 Oct 2015 #16

OK, but that's not what I asked about or expressed concern about. MineralMan Oct 2015 #21

I support Bernie because of his stand on campaign financing and corruption. JDPriestly Oct 2015 #41

We've twice seen how he responded to being interrupted during a speech BainsBane Oct 2015 #12

That's true. I hadn't thought of that, really. MineralMan Oct 2015 #15

Oh my! I am getting the impression that Hillary's supporters believe a "presidential demeanor" djean111 Oct 2015 #18

She stood that committee down, with the help of the few Democrats MineralMan Oct 2015 #22

What hearings did you use to vet Obama for these skills? I'm amused at your notion that only Bluenorthwest Oct 2015 #30

This is not about Obama in any way. MineralMan Oct 2015 #32

Again, you are already supporting Hillary. Are you telling me that if someone provided you with a djean111 Oct 2015 #38

See, the thing is that I'm not the only voter you should think about. MineralMan Oct 2015 #42

You can't be serious. You can't seriously be comparing the Benghazi hearings, TwilightGardener Oct 2015 #48

+1 BeanMusical Oct 2015 #65

"Benghazi hearings ... led by amateurish GOP Houseclowns" WorseBeforeBetter Oct 2015 #72

Of course not, he could send Larry David underpants Oct 2015 #26

Yet. They make shit up. Sooner or later The Velveteen Ocelot Oct 2015 #27

I suspect you are right about that. MineralMan Oct 2015 #29

I have no need to imagine. Bernie would do just fine Autumn Oct 2015 #28

Hillary Clinton appeared before Senate and House Committes in 1993 when Clinton tried to pass Agnosticsherbet Oct 2015 #31

Yes, I'm aware of those appearances, as well. MineralMan Oct 2015 #33

I, too, would like to see that. Republicans do not fear Sanders enought to investigate him 24/7... Agnosticsherbet Oct 2015 #34

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders demands equal time in front of Benghazi Committee! JaneyVee Oct 2015 #37

Hmm...that might do it. MineralMan Oct 2015 #45

Why, so that he can agree with them? nt kelliekat44 Oct 2015 #78

We know Sanders is sturdy. At 70, he filibustered for almost 9 hours. valerief Oct 2015 #54

No he wont SwampG8r Oct 2015 #55

They had jack apple shit. This is in no way analogous to dealing with someone with a nuclear arsenal TheKentuckian Oct 2015 #56

you wish Sanders would be called in front of such a committee? Doctor_J Oct 2015 #57

We'll find out Aerows Oct 2015 #59

Your "curiosity" is noted whatchamacallit Oct 2015 #60

He's quite a performer. BeanMusical Oct 2015 #68

Yes, she'll take us into war like she with Iraq! Bernblu Oct 2015 #61

We're still in a war - ohheckyeah Oct 2015 #71

You already know that Sanders would be more cautious about overthrowing dictators and then ... slipslidingaway Oct 2015 #63

What was the point of this? 'Man I wish Sanders was scandal ridden...... Joe the Revelator Oct 2015 #64

Trying to start a flame war. BeanMusical Oct 2015 #67

He posted an OP that said he was going to work for Bernie in Minnesota Art_from_Ark Oct 2015 #86

I missed that but I'm not surprised at all that he would do something like this. BeanMusical Oct 2015 #88

Interesting debating point for Hillary... thesquanderer Oct 2015 #69

I don't think Hillary has been arrested yet Rosa Luxemburg Oct 2015 #70

Too long ago to matter in this election, except for MineralMan Oct 2015 #73

He's consistent whereas Clinton is full of hype and hot air Rosa Luxemburg Oct 2015 #74

Our opinions differ, it seems. MineralMan Oct 2015 #75

The fact Bernie has not done anything that would warrant anything.. DCBob Oct 2015 #77

Judging by how Bernie handled the first debate, he's not anywhere as toughened as Hillary AZ Progressive Oct 2015 #80

Well, he's inexperienced as a national candidate. MineralMan Oct 2015 #82

This video shows that Bernie wouldn't be able to stand what Hillary has gone through AZ Progressive Oct 2015 #83

Well, I doubt he's going to do that on the campaign trail. MineralMan Oct 2015 #84

We are more talking about the chances of him breaking down. This is a potential weakness. AZ Progressive Oct 2015 #85

I thought he fumbled the gun control issue at the debate a bit. MineralMan Oct 2015 #87

I guess it's a good thing HUAC isn't around anymore n/t deutsey Oct 2015 #89

Perhaps, perhaps not. 99Forever Oct 2015 #90
