That's the problem with revising history after the advent of video.

I can't argue with that seeing how people have very little memory now a days for even events one year ago.
The internet is the source of finding out and you are dead right - Hillary cannot stand up to anyone using google. Her whole campaign speeches crumble under a quick google of her and the subject. You can watch her on you-tube saying the opposite and promoting the opposite all through her speeches.

We all see her as a continuation of the same old baloney we have had for the past 40 years or more. We want to feel that our children and grandchildren have a chance in this world. All of us support Bernie. Some of these friends have never voted for a Democrat They will now. Times have changed. So have we.

There is also that whole thing about her not understanding that government emails with sensitive information should not be kept on private email servers.
It is like her kryptonite. Imagine how scary it would be for superman if 84% of the country had kryptonite in their households, their pockets, their offices, etc... yikes.

Money is what we are fighting and it's one of Bernie's biggest issues. We need to get the money out of politics. Then it won't matter so much who has the house and senate. Because even Republicans will fight for single payer if it's what their constituents want.
Money is what prevents constituents from forcing their elected congress members to act for the people's interest.

(57,349 posts)Hillary Clintons sudden attack on Bernie Sanders single-payer health care plan is a dramatic break with Democratic Party doctrine that the problem with single-payer is that it is politically implausible not that it is a bad idea.
Single-payer, the Canadian-style system in which the government pays for universal health care, takes the health insurance industry out of the picture, saving huge amounts of money. But the health insurance industry has become so rich and powerful that it would never let it happen.
That was certainly Clintons position back in the early 1990s, when she was developing her doomed universal coverage proposal for her husband, Bill.
But in the ensuing years, both Clintons have taken millions of dollars in speaking fees from the health care industry. According to public disclosures, Hillary Clinton alone, from 2013 to 2015, made $2,847,000 from 13 paid speeches to the industry.
Source: Public federal disclosures, Clinton campaign
https://theintercept.com/2016/01/13/hillary-clinton-single-payer/
In 2008, Clinton was the among the three biggest recipients of campaign cash from pharmaceutical-related companies, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. In all, the watchdog group reports that she raised $738,000 from employees of pharmaceutical manufacturers and companies classified as Pharmaceuticals /Health Products. The center reports that Clinton also raised more than $1.2 million from the insurance industry -- which includes health insurers.
On top of those campaign contributions, the Clintons and their family foundation have benefited from their ties to the pharmaceutical and insurance industries.
In 2011, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) -- the primary trade association representing drug companies -- paid Bill Clinton $200,000 for a speech, as the organization was lobbying the Hillary Clinton-led State Department. Last year, the Drug Chemical and Associated Technologies Association, a trade group whose members include major pharmaceutical companies, paid her a $250,000 speaking fee.
Meanwhile, the Clinton Foundation has received between $1 million and $5 million worth of donations separately from drug manufacturers Pfizer and Procter & Gamble, and from health insurers Humana and Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina. Some of those companies made donations as recently as this year, according to the foundations website.
That largesse was part of a friendship forged after those industries opposed her 1993 health care initiative -- and which continued after she won reelection to the Senate in 2006.

(12,233 posts)The industry and Obama worked a bit against the idea by saying a system like that couldn't go into effect in 2014 like most of the ACA, but could go into effect in 2017. The state of VT has, in my opinion, an ass hat of a Governor now (only won because of the D behind his name, but quite asshole of a man)... anyway, the legislation gets passed to go single payer, a million dollar study goes into effect (btw with the guy who called voters f-ing morons in regards to the ACA and had to be fired), to check on the costs of starting this or not (hello waste of money for a state that doesn't need million dollar anythings). So, this past year, after legislation has passed this bill and all, the Governor basically cans the single payer project and decides that schools are too small and teachers are making too much and the state needs to make bigger school districts as a cost saving measure... He's a tool.
This is the explanation my Mom gave me...

We know that Bernie was fighting for health care way back when. We know that Hillary THANKED him for his help, in written form. We know he stood with her at the Dartmouth speech. We know that he got the health clinics inserted into the ACA to help those who still are not covered, since the public option had been scrapped -- he insisted on that if they wanted him to support and fight for the overall bill without the public option. (BTW, that also shows that Bernie really does know how to wheel and deal in the Senate -- something which again, those of us who support him already knew.)

(57,349 posts)Why was he supporting her in that CNN video? And Why did she thank him?
Their disagreements with Republicans matter a lot more.
It's easy to forget that Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton agree on a whole lot.
Bernie Sanders on Thursday tweeted an old photo that undermines Hillary Clintons recent attacks on him -- but also, indirectly, weakens a key rationale for his insurgent candidacy.
The photo is from 1993, when Sanders was in the House of Representatives and Clinton was leading her husbands efforts to pass health care reform. In the picture, Clinton and Sanders are meeting. Below, the first lady inscribed a message: To Bernie Sanders with thanks for your commitment to real health care access for all Americans.
That praise matters because health care has suddenly become a major issue in the Democratic presidential primaries. Sanders, now a senator, is a longtime advocate for single-payer insurance, in which most people get coverage directly from the government. Clinton says single-payer is impractical, as politics and policy.
In just the last week or so, the attacks have gotten increasingly sharp and, in some cases, misleading. Inscribed photos dont always mean that much; politicians give them out all the time as gestures to supporters. But in this case, the impression is accurate. When it comes to the broad goal of real health care access for all Americans, Clinton and Sanders actually agree -- more than Clintons recent arguments might suggest.

This is interesting, from the article:
The Intercept asked both Himmelstein and Woolhandler what they thought about Clintons newfound opposition to the substance of a single-payer program.
Its disingenuous, replied Woolhandler. She ought to know better. In fact, I think she does know better. What this is is a political ploy that she thinks she can score some points from, apparently.
The Sanders campaign responded to her attacks on his health policy this week by releasing a photo from a meeting between Sanders and Clinton from around the same time she met with the two doctors. Underneath the photograph, Clinton wrote: To Bernie Sanders with thanks for your commitment to real healthcare access for all Americans and best wishes Hillary Rodham Clinton, 1993.

you claimed --I was a Bernie supporter fed up with facts blaming him..blah blah blah..I've no idea what 'not good enough Bernie' means, but you keep shouting into the abyss & playing gotcha games if it makes you feel better.
But I get it, it's tres chic to blame Bernie for everything.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH BERNIE!!!
You made accusations that were wrong. You were wrong. Deal with it.
I'm done with you. I've proven my point. Buh-bye.

Wait, wut?
What accusations? And where did I claim you were a Bernie supporter? You haven't made any sense since your first post in this thread.
I'm done with you. I've proven my point. Buh-bye.
What point? That you've been wrong all along?
Glad I could help! You're welcome!
Ciao!

Ya know, when the "dum dum dum dum, dumdum dumdum, dumdumdum dumdumdum" theme music for the shark starts playing faster and faster whenever the great white is near the boat . .
"Ya know the thing about a shark, he's got . . . lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin' . . . until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white . . . and then, ah . . . then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the ocean turns red and in spite of all of the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces."

(348 posts)I've watched her go revisionist from topic to topic and sentence to sentence as I was watching her address her supporters the last few months. It's gotten BAD since the end of Nov. She used to try to avoid out right lies. And, they cheered from topic to topic when a quick google or even a halfway decent memory would have shown she did the opposite. They cheered right down to her telling them she's going to redo the campaign finance system and get big money out of it- she said this to hundreds of people who know her superpacs mean she is being financed directly by the lobbyists and represents big money in politics. Not one person could be heard doing anything but cheering like they believed her.
Her whole campaign is a litmus test on informed Democrats or not.
