My God Nina Turner is amazing. I wish Sanders could clone her.

[Armstead]

She was just on Chris Hayes on Hardball. A powerful advocate for Sanders with an energy and enthusiasm that practically explodes out of the television.

And she's firery but real. If that is posted as a video, I'll put it up here.

[Awknid]

1. She's always wonderful!

Love her!

[jillan]

2. She was a Clinton supporter that felt the Bern :)

[jfern]

29. Not just any Clinton supporter, she served on the board of Correct the Record

I bet she wasn't too happy when she realized what David Brock did to Anita Hill.

[nc4bo]

3. She silenced Hayes at the end. He looked like he had

A close call with a buzzsaw

Go Nina!

[SoapBox]

35. I was wondering how she handled the little dweeb.

[senz]

4. I adore her.

She is an excellent role model for girls who want to grow up to be admirable women.

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. I love her! One of my favorite stump speech lines is from her stump speech

when she's talking about equal pay for equal work for women..."We want the whole damn dollar!" Gaaaawd, that's so good! Makes me laugh every time I think about it.

Nina is a TREASURE and Bernie is soooo lucky to have her support and to have her working for his campaign.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[AtomicKitten]

6. I love her. I first saw her on Ed Schultz show.

I was THRILLED when she jumped on board the Bernie train. She is a powerful advocate.

[Snotcicles]

27. Thats where I first saw her too.nt

[mountain grammy]

36. Yeah me too

And she was on his radio show often.. I hear her on Stephanie Miller's show once in a while.

[NorthCarolina]

7. She's absolutely a treasure,

Love watching her campaign for Bernie, she definitely has fire in the belly.

[litlbilly]

10. Bernie is gonna have an amazing cabinet. they will all be amazing. just saying:)

[politicaljunkie41910]

8. She's been around for awhile, but obviously she needs a job.

She used to be a representative for the State of Ohio and she then ran for a Senate position and lost. So she needs a job now. Gov Kasich mentioned during one of the Republican debates when he was trying to solidify his "reach across the aisle" bona fides that he had put this wonderful black woman named Nina Turner on one of his committees. But I guess she needs a real paying job now, and with all those new programs Bernie will be adding I guess she figures that there's one in there for her.

[jen63]

12. She was a State Senator

and ran for Secretary of State, thanks.

[KingFlorez]

14. Some people consider politics a profession

Considering what a disaster her last election was, she might want to reconsider that thinking

http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=790569

Lost almost every county. Ouch.

[Nanjeanne]

17. Well Bill Clinton endorsed her

Maybe that's why.

[KingFlorez]

19. Probably not

Not everyone can win. That's just a fact of life.

[Scootaloo]

30. Yeah, we saw that very clearly in June 2008.

[retrowire]

22. lol what a petty post.

You ok?

[Ned_Devine]

24. You've got to understand, these people just plain suck

If you met them in the real world you'd never want to be friends with them. Let them continue to generate negative energy and it will eventually come back and bite them in the ass.

[retrowire]

25. With Obi Wan Kenobi's advice in your signature,

I know that your advice is to be heeded. May the force be with you, and may you feel the Bern.

[KingFlorez]

33. I am just fine

I was simply making an observation about career politicians, nothing more.

[islandmkl]

31. how big is that list of people who NEVER lost a race?...

and how far did they rise politically?

[Stevepol]

32. Are you sure she lost?

OH is one of the states where the voting machines seem to work overtime. They also work over the statistics when the so-called final tally is compared with the exit polls.

OH is also where Kerry lost the election in 04 when Rove rigged the vote tallies at the end when Kerry was maintaining a lead and then suddenly wasn't. The final results defied reason and the science of statistics, according to a lot of people who have studied the matter.

[KingFlorez]

34. Losing 65-35 is quite clean cut

I find it hard to believe that her election was stolen.

[Nanjeanne]

16. Yeah she probably lost

Because Bill Clinton endorsed her.

[Feeling the Bern]

28. Wow, aloof, arrogant and haughty. Not to mention dismissive.

Would you say the same about her if she still supported HRC?

[DirkGently]

11. She was brilliant. n/t

[jen63]

13. Check her bio.

She is an amazing woman!

[uponit7771]

18. Shes one of his credible advocates... worth listening to, the others dodge rational questions and

... call everyone else an establishment corporate sell out or something close

[Gregorian]

20. She's a powerhouse for sure.

I'll admit to searching youtube to see her running the 400 relay. She must be really good.

The people who are finding Bernie, or vice versa, are all amazing. I feel so inferior. Wah...

[hopemountain]

21. "we want it all - now!"

yes, nina - we do!

as a woman and a woman of color and a single parent who worked and struggled on a low income - despite her education - to make ends meet and raise her one child and who, now, is burnt out and disabled - we have paid our dues and we want it all - now!

we don't have another day to waste "waiting". we're burnin' daylight! the working class has paid their dues and we, as a nation don't have time to spare!

we will not spend another damn day watching our kids quash their dreams and settle for having less than their grandparents had - a job, a home, and an income that could afford food in the pantry, or a yearly vacation and a decent pair of shoes when they were needed - not just once a year.

[Dont call me Shirley]

23. She's a hero, and one of mine.

[Nanjeanne]

26. I loved her more when she introduced the Men's Health Bill

As a member of a heavily male- and GOP-dominated state Senate since 2008, Ohio legislator Nina Turner says she has cringed watching her colleagues pass bill after bill to regulate women's reproductive health. Now, the Democrat has become the latest in a series of female state legislators to give her male colleagues a taste of their own medicine by introducing a bill that limits men's ability to get a Viagra prescription without meeting certain government conditions.

"We should show the same attention and love to men's reproductive health as we do to women's," Turner told HuffPost. "And my bill does that."

Specifically, Turner's bill would require men to receive psychological counseling to verify that they have a medical reason for taking erectile dysfunction medications, such as Viagra, before they can legally obtain a prescription for it. It would also require doctors to inform men, in writing, about the potential risks of drugs like Viagra.

And then on a serious note - she was wonderful on her rape bills:
She introduced legislation to force previously untested rape kits be submitted to a lab for testing within a year
She introduced legislation that would eliminate the 20-year statute of limitations on the crimes of rape and sexual battery.
She lead a bill to terminate parental rights of rapists to children conceived during rape.

She's a woman Democrats should be very proud of.

[JDPriestly]

38. I am very proud.

[JDPriestly]

37. I absolutely love her. I hope it will be posted and that you put it up here.

She is by nature a musical speaker, a poet. She conveys beautiful emotion.

[FairWinds]

39. Why would any Dem bash this woman?

You might try disagreeing respectfully.

What sense does it make to burn bridges?

That's the first lesson of politics.

[Armstead]

40. I hope you're not replying to my OP

[FairWinds]

42. Not at all . .

I was replying to this drivel . .

"Considering what a disaster her last election was, she might want to reconsider that thinking . ."

I thought I was being clear . .

[FailureToCommunicate]

41. Just had to watch her again... fired up for Bernie...
