2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumEmail from Bernie.....
__________:
With just two weeks to go before the Iowa caucuses, the super PAC coordinating with Hillary Clintons campaign is reportedly launching one of the most desperate and vile attacks imaginable: they are insinuating Bernie is too old and unhealthy to be our next president.
Let me be very clear with you: Bernie is in excellent health. But this personal attack is another example of a sickness in our democracy when it is so easy for millionaires and billionaires to buy up candidates and elections.
We are just three points behind in Iowa, but closing every day. We cant let super PAC attacks on Bernies health and health care plan scare people away from voting for Bernie.
Your $25 contribution to Bernies campaign could be the difference between victory and defeat in the Democratic primary for our political revolution. Make one more today.
In spite of these Karl Rove-style attacks, Bernies going to stay focused on the real issues impacting working families across the country. While he does that, we can make the millionaires and billionaires coordinating with the Clinton campaign pay a price for their attacks.
In solidarity,
Jeff Weaver
Campaign Manager

OP
And how is an online "petition" to a political candidate going to change anything?

When talking about a candidate like HRC you have a strong point. Thanks for making it.

(9,704 posts)6. I've never undestood this argument - first of all, Hillary is 68
Second, it's discriminatory!!
My parents are 86. My father just retired last month from his law practice and HATES retirement. He's thinking of working for good causes pro bono. My Mom still manages properties and is one of the busiest people I know. Both are amazing!!!
On the other hand, a 55 year old college roommate of mine just had his second stroke and it doesn't look good.
Age is not an indicator.
