(30,613 posts)so yeah, terror will be a topic because the prospect of Trump or Cruz in the WH is terrifying.

(1,000 posts)I'm tired of fearmongering BS war propaganda, myself. Would like to hear some real discussion of issues that actually matter to regular folks.

(6,073 posts)Its a campaign staple.

(6,896 posts)I think the terror of Honduran orpans and displaced refugees should be mentioned for sure.
restorefreedom
(12,655 posts)then no.
this is going to be an economic blowout and is right in bernie's wheelhouse. tpp, unions, lost jobs, wall street, lack of transcript transparency, superpacs, rigged economy, rigged politicl system, etc.
i predict bernie will be gloves off and a full on meltdown by hillary is coming
reddread
(6,896 posts)there will be big doings
restorefreedom
(12,655 posts)between the looming fbi probe, a uuuge rally for bernie, the news that almost record breaking new dems signed up to vote (i am guessing not for her), and what are probably horrible internals for ny, the pressure is there with just a nudge needed. and i do not think bernie is going to hold back on pushing it.

(47,209 posts)I don't think a lot of non-myers get how much we are okay with "extra security" because we have been targeted.
I get why other towns feel the Homeland Security money and weapons pork they took was a bad idea, but NYC was underfunded. And we aren't as big on the "freedoms" or the 2nd amendment and NSA spying that much of the rest of you are.
restorefreedom
(12,655 posts)but the main issues are going to be economic imo.
although i have no issue with them talking about it, i just don't know if they will. its up to wolfie.

(47,209 posts)The MSM loves red meat. Both should be prepared to deal with questions about keeping NYC secure.
restorefreedom
(12,655 posts)msm as you said wants the meat. they love to push buttons its gonna depend on whether wolfie wants to push the terror button or the economy button. maybe he will go for it and cover both.
i would not mind seeing them both respond to the latest report that we would need something like 50000 troops to beat isis
i don't see the american people having the stomach for that.
edit for link..yes, its the daily caller but it has the generals quote for troop#

(11,945 posts)Her campaign announced that this would be their strategy from here on out. She attacked his competence and mental abilities in regard to the NY Daily News interview and in her coy "my father told me to read the fine print" message. I think this is their plan. It's going to be an attempt to undermine his image in the eyes of the American people. I hope he will be ready for it.

I fear it because I expect her to be underhanded and dirty.
