So while Bernie was in Flint

[EdwardBernays]

Hillary was hosting a $250/plate (minimum) fundraiser with ye olde "Special Place in Hell" Albright.

If you cough up a grand you'll even get to have your photo taken with Albright.

1. Hillary already went to Flint...and while she was there, Bernie was doing SNL

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511157231

It didn't look good and I suspect that's part of the reason why Bernie is trailing by a very large margin among African American voters.

[EdwardBernays]

3. I remember

he did that for free...

She of course is busy raking in the dough instead of going to Flint...

See how juvenile it is, pretending that if they aren't both in Flint at the same time, the one not there doesn't care about Flint...

[emulatorloo]

9. Your last sentence is pure projection

"See how juvenile it is, pretending that if they aren't both in Flint at the same time, the one not there doesn't care about Flint..."

Describes your OP perfectly.

[EdwardBernays]

11. You should

go read the multitude of Bernie bashing articles saying that he didn't care about Flint because he wasn't going when Clinton went:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511157231

Bernie supporters were lectured for days about how he didn't care about Flint...

Shoes on the other foot now... and of course team hypocrite suddenly thinks that what they themselves were claiming two weeks ago is now silly.

No shit. It was silly.

[emulatorloo]

13. Of course Bernie cares about Flint, as does HRC

However it surprises me that you don't mention the good things Mayor Karen Weaver has said about HRC after she sent staff out to Flint in mid-January.

That's one of the reasons your OP seems a bit flame-baitish to me. It is essentially content free, it hits popular DU hot buttons, it leaves out facts.

[EdwardBernays]

15. Seriously

go look at all of the Bernie bashing and mocking by Hillary supporters on that day...and by Hillary herseelf:

"I know Sen. Sanders went to New York to be on ‘SNL' and I'm going to Flint to see if we can help with the kids"

That's Clinton.

So...

[emulatorloo]

16. Ok n/t

[emulatorloo]

4. Ah, don't mess up Edward's little disinformation spree.

[giftedgirl77]

2. Sanders is about 2 weeks late on that trip to Flint

so let's not play like his actions are we kind of phenomenal feat.

[EdwardBernays]

5. 2 weeks?

So you're saying when Clinton went it was the beginning of the crisis??

Or is that that just some random crap you've made up?

[giftedgirl77]

7. This crisis has been going on for years but Clinton already made

that trip since the first of the year.

[Madam Mossfern]

6. Two weeks late?

If he went two weeks ago, it wouldn't have happened?

[giftedgirl77]

10. WTH are you talking about Flint was blown open prior to 2 weeks ago.

[Madam Mossfern]

14. Yes, I know

Why was he two weeks too late?
Too late for what?

[giftedgirl77]

17. I said 2 weeks bc HRC went about that long ago & ppl complained.

Now it's supposed to be a big deal.

[Madam Mossfern]

24. I don't think

anyone's making a big deal of it.

[giftedgirl77]

25. Well this OP in itself makes the comparassion that BS is

doing some extraordinary thing while HRC is out rubbing elbows.

It's quite hypocritical considering BS was on SNL while HRC was in Flint don't you think?

[Madam Mossfern]

31. Please

stop being disingenuous. Of course each candidate's supporters are going to be cheerleading the way there guy/gal does something.

[giftedgirl77]

37. Hypocrites

[LisaM]

8. Might I also remind you that Hillary campaigned against Snyder in 2014

and Bernie Sanders did not. This tit for tat could go on for days, but the reality is that Flint is hurting and can use attention from both camps, which it's getting. The fight is for Flint in a proximate way, and to repair our crumbling infrastructure in a broader way, and it's actually probably better if they go at separate times. If nothing else, it gives the people of Flint a chance to go see each candidate, rather than having events piled up at the same time.

19. Damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. nt

22. If you can provide a link

google can't seem to find it? Not in 2014

[angstlessk]

23. Please provide a link

google can't find it?

[Tanuki]

26. Here is a link. Took me 2 minutes to find it.

[angstlessk]

29. It was her campaigning FOR Democrats

Former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton, considered a likely front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 if she runs, is coming to Michigan next week.

Need I say more?

[LisaM]

36. Thanks! I was off-line for a bit.

I suspect it will take a while to find evidence of Bernie on the stump for any Dems other than in Vermont. Because Never.

[Bobbie Jo]

12. This thread is priceless.

[MaggieD]

18. LOL!

[emulatorloo]

20. Ted Cruz Blocks Emergency Relief To Flint But Demanded Aid For Texas

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10141359791

Sometimes a little perspective is needed.

[EdwardBernays]

21. the ONLY thing that would get me to vote for Clinton

is Ted Cruz getting the nomination...

[emulatorloo]

27. Cruz, Trump, Rubio, Kasich. I can't really distinguish between them

Same policies, just different packaging.

[EdwardBernays]

30. I can

Cruz is financed by big banks and has the former head of the CIA's Clandestine Services as his campaign chairman.

He's a dangerous sonofoabitch.

http://www.chertoffgroup.com/bios/chad-sweet.php

Chief of Staff, Department of Homeland Security (2007 – 2009)
Vice President, Goldman Sachs (1996 – 2006)
Investment Banker, Morgan Stanley (1994 – 1996)
Directorate of Operations, Clandestine Services, Central Intelligence Agency (1990, 1991 – 1993)

The PR guy that was pushing that Carson was dropping out in Iowa... also ex-CIA. No kidding.

He also has picked two of the worst neo-cons as his foreign policy advisors... and of course wants to carpet bomb the middle east.

He's about as scary as they get.

[Aerows]

32. Cruz scares the HELL out of me

All of the people on the GOP side are nutty and will do a lot of harm to our country, but Cruz is a downright dangerous sociopath.

He MUST NOT get even the nomination, let alone the Presidency. I'm not sure what would scare me more, Cruz being President, or Cruz kicking the bucket and leaving Sarah Palin as Vice President. That's the stuff of NIGHTMARES.

[EdwardBernays]

33. Palin

would probably lose the keys to the White House on day one...

[Aerows]

34. They would probably have

a Palin family brawl that night on the White House lawn complete with a keg, cursing and beating up Secret Service people because their entourage was not recognized and their film crew wasn't admitted.

[EdwardBernays]

35. and one of the kids

would certainly end up pregnant.

[all american girl]

38. Thank you for the true outrage....both of our canidates are awesome, and they care

Ted Cruz doesn't care for babies and children. Is it OK to truly hate a person, because I'm there with this man (I won't say what he really is, because that would be rude).

[DrDan]

28. he followed her there I believe

[Art_from_Ark]

39. Bernie set up an office in Flint two days before Hillary came

And Bernie's office is helping to deliver water to Flint residents.

[DrDan]

41. he gets credit from me for doing something meaningful

[LexVegas]

40. Bernie was busy doing comedy shows while HRC was in Flint. At least he is following her lead. nt
