July 26, 201610 yr I had to step away from the TV for a minute when Bernie was talking. What was it that he was saying about the financial shape our country was in when Obama first took office? Sen. Sanders saluted the current president for rescuing the country from the biggest financial mess since the Great Depression.
July 26, 201610 yr So basically Bernie said he supports Hillary because she has now agreed to most of his campaign promises: TPP, free tuition, minimum wage and climate change. So if she flipped to his promises,why isn't he running? Funny thing is he believes her. Can't fix stupid.
July 26, 201610 yr 90 percent of unwavering Sanders supporters plan to vote for Clinton in November - The Washington Post
July 26, 201610 yr Always interesting to compare and contrast. DNC has the current first lady and will have the current President and a former President not only in the house but on the podium; not to mention the primary #2 unreservedly endorsing the primary #1. RNC has Cruz but no endorsement. No Bush, no Dole, no Bush, no McCain, and no Bush.
July 26, 201610 yr For those who last week that threw shade on Cruz for not openly endorsing the winner of the campaign, is it safe to say that you're with Sanders? Not from an ideological standpoint, but for strongly endorsing the winner.
July 26, 201610 yr So basically Bernie said he supports Hillary because she has now agreed to most of his campaign promises: TPP, free tuition, minimum wage and climate change. So if she flipped to his promises,why isn't he running? I'll bite. Because he finished second. There's no doubt that his fingerprints are all over the current incarnation of the party platform.
July 26, 201610 yr I thought that Elizabeth Warren offered very little other than the expected "she ain't the other guy" stuff. One short speech isn't much to go on, but I'm guessing that there are a whole bunch of Ds that are happy she's not the VP nominee; and a whole bunch of Rs that aren't.
July 26, 201610 yr This is great. Must see TV. Call Hillary crooked. The DNC chair has to step down because of the scandal. Hillary hires her. Bernie says its rigged. Bernie tells his supporters to vote for Hillary. You cant make this stuff up. The party of say or do anything to get elected. :ohbrother:
July 26, 201610 yr I'm paraphrasing. "Don't let anyone tell you that America isn't great. America is the greatest country on earth." So, I'm watching Morning Joe (the only political show I can watch/listen to for more than 3 or 4 minutes running), and Scarborough said that the First Lady's speech was - because of its hope and optimism - evocative of Ronald Reagan. A fair comparison?

One short speech isn't much to go on, but I'm guessing that there are a whole bunch of Ds that are happy she's not the VP nominee; and a whole bunch of Rs that aren't.I can't pinpoint what it is, but she has always rubbed me the wrong way, despite being a beloved voice by many.
July 26, 201610 yr So basically Bernie said he supports Hillary because she has now agreed to most of his campaign promises: TPP, free tuition, minimum wage and climate change. So if she flipped to his promises,why isn't he running? The Dems seem to be promising everything to everyone. I guess that's a good way to win an election, but how are we going to pay for it all?
July 26, 201610 yr Being a lifelong democrat I have been concerned that the party platform is moving so far to the left that I would lose touch. Fiscal insanity is running rampant, Hillary's disdain for 2nd amendment rights and no sense of urgency regarding toughening immigration make it impossible to support this party any longer.
