In Iowa, Hillary Clinton Defends A System Everyone Else Is Trashing
Her pitch: Bernie Sanders is a pie-in-the-sky, tax-raising radical and she is a battle-tested leader and defender of Obamacare.

Direction of Country

Right Direction: 29.7% Wrong Track: 63%
Look at the graph for how long people have felt that way.
This is what you call an out of touch politician.
People keep telling me she is smart but I cannot say I agree.
Trump (much as I can't stand him) and Sanders represent the different direction people (or Trump's loonies) want. Hillary doesn't.
Hillary is closer to "Leave everything alone. It's fine. We don't want a big squabble in Washington. I'll tweak a few policies to the right and we'll carry on."

(32,852 posts)26 million uninsured. 62 people with the wealth of 3.4 billion. Crumbling infrastructure. Millions working 40+hours a week still can't feed their family.how can anyone calling themselves a democrat say we are on the right fucking path.
I hope all decent, caring people soundly reject this woman and her dangerous failure of an agenda.

(9,841 posts)She can read poll results, but she never seems to have a clue which way the wind is blowing.
Has she ever staked out a position that wasn't popular and stuck with it??
The last time she did anything bold was with health care, but that was over 20 years ago, and she's long since abandoned her viewpoint on that one.

(10,123 posts)Hillary's leaning right but with her, you can't be sure where she's going because she'll say anything
Bernie's going for progressive stuff I've been for my whole life and he's been honest.

(1,252 posts)and I can't keep up with Ms. Clinton's changing of positions on every issue. If this circular path is the only choice then I will sit quietly by the side of the road. If the choice is still open when it rolls around to California voting I will vote for Bernie because I believe in his message. If that isn't the choice I will look at the bottom of the ticket and see if there is any ray of hope. Come on Iowa. It is now or never.
