1. He was in his late 20s, she was 16.

She's been a Democrat since she started college, almost 50 years. He's been a Democrat since last year, since he realized he had no means to mount a national campaign otherwise. She's always worked hard to get Democrats elected. He's trashed Democrats, said horrible things about the party, tried to get someone to primary Obama. She's raised millions for down-ticket Democrats. He's encouraged support for a handful of candidates that he personally approves of. She's provided 33 years of tax returns, he's provided a summary of one year's taxes. She's laid out comprehensive plans for implementing the programs she advocates. He can't explain how he'd fulfill his favorite campaign promises..............................................

3. Wasn't Bernie one of the founders of the Progressive Caucus in Congress in 1991?

Just pointing that out... wouldn't want people to get the wrong idea...


>He's been a Democrat since last year, since he realized he had no means to mount a national campaign otherwise.

Also, I regret to inform you that the #1 reason I can see for one of the things you pointed out is that he cannot explain the situation without exposing the fact that your candidate has told the country an egregious lie, which he's being too kind in not exposing her for.

Looking at that situation, it's really scandalous, so scandalous that it seems when i put the URL in a post people seem not to see it. However, you can read the paper if you follow the link in my sig. There are dozens of other papers around the world describing the problem in other countries ([lnk:https://www.policyalternatives.ca/publications/reports/gats-and-south-africas-national-health-act|Example here]

let me ask you a favor, I have never had a rational, intelligent conversation with a Hillary fan here about this subject. Could you just say a few words giving your opinion of it, showing me you are a thinking person and not another sock puppet?

5. Misinformed or a liar?

There is a 6-year difference in their ages. If she was 16, then he was 22.

7. She said she's proud of her conservative roots

She's a socially (fairly) liberal neoconservative neoliberal warhawk with ties to C St, K St, Wall St., and the most heinous multinational conglomerates, who pretends to be what she is not. Other than that, she's great.

2. Says it all. People don't really change much from their roots.

And with her Awsomeness going to the Bush donors...well, I rest my case.

Same for Bernie...hasn't changed much...and I support what he has believed in for decades. He may not have been a Democrat...truly, I'm not sure what that means anymore. It's not the Party I joined in the 70s. But Party affiliation Does Not Matter when it comes to ethics and a consistent record and a plan for the future.

So, Democrat or Independent...it's Bernie for me!!!

4. Once A Goldwater Girl. ..

6. Bernie spent his 20's protesting. Hillary spent them getting a law degree, then working for CDF,

the Children's Defense Fund, under Marion Edelman. Hillary was the one who was actually accomplishing something.

When she was 16 and still living under her Republican parents' roof, she was a Goldwater girl.

What was Bernie doing when he was 16? Developing his bizarre theories on women, children, and sex -- and cancer?

Bernie wrote:

What do you think it really means when 3 doctors, after intense study, write that 'of the 26 patients (who developed breast cancer) below 51 (years of age), one was sexually adjusted.' It means, very bluntly, that the manner in which you bring up your daughter with regard to sexual attitudes may very well determine whether or not she will develop breast cancer, among other things.

SNIP

When a doctor writes that the cancer personality "represses hate, anger, dissatisfaction and grudges, or on the other hand, is a 'good' person, who is consumed with self pity, suffers in stoic silence", do you know what he is talking about, and what this has to do with children, parents, and schools.

"These articles were written more than 40 years ago," Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said in an email to Mother Jones. "Like most people, Bernie's views on many issues have changed over time."

8. CDF founder Edelman & her husband fell out with the Clintons

Said Hill BEYTAYED those poor families. That is a fact and it's on video.

Ain't no way to clean that up.

9. Marian Edelman honored Hillary at the 40th anniversary of the CDF,

and did the voiceover for a 2016 campaign video.

This what she said AFTER that so-called "falling out":

Washington, DC -The Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) celebrated forty years of changing the odds for children and honored Former Secretary of State and CDF alumna Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday, September 30, 2013. Secretary Clinton was recognized for her dedication and contributions to child advocacy.

“CDF is pleased to recognize Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has been a tireless voice for children. She’s brilliant. She cares deeply about children. She perseveres. She’s an incredibly hard worker, and she stays with it. She’s done extraordinarily well in everything she’s ever done. and I’m just so proud of her,” said Marian Wright Edelman, President of the Children’s Defense Fund.
