Could you imagine the uproar if Clinton walked out of an interview. Hoo boy.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

1. It bothers me when Bernie supporters take cheap shots at Hillary.

So to be consistent, I want to say this is not something we need to be pointing out as a criticism of Bernie.

With all due respect, and I mean that.

I just think we need to start to come together.

[yardwork]

10. I think that how a candidate reacts to stress is important.

I think that this is relevant to a candidate's ability to deal with the incredible stress of being CIC.

[hamsterjill]

27. I tend to agree.

I think it is a very relevant thing to know that a candidate seeking the office of the Presidency of the United States can stand up under pressure and under fire, even when his/her family is being taken to task.

[panader0]

39. Like sniper fire?

[seabeyond]

43. That is the ONLY one... Only one in two and a half decades I do not get. One. That one.

Now, since I have researched all the many many more, and I know the bullshit as defining so much, lies, .... I really wonder about this one. Clinton can truly say it is the complete opposite of how so many define. She is such NOT a liar, that one stands out in such contrast, I would love to hear the reasoning.

Sanders on the other hand... Alllllll over the place. The complete opposite of the caricature we create for him.

Makes one wondering if it is the whole misogyny thing of .... all women lie. No woman can be trusted.

[litlbilly]

34. too bad you mistake the truth for cheapshots. Its all on you guys, sorry...

[seabeyond]

44. Nu uh.

[riversedge]

2. Hillary has the right temperment to be Commander-in-Chief.

[monmouth4]

14. Except for that barking thingy..LOL..

[Scootaloo]

16. She threatened to obliterate another nation.

And her solution to the Syrian issue was to shoot down Russian planes.

[riversedge]

17. I would not want Bernie near the Red phone with his short temper.

[Scootaloo]

20. of the two candidates...

Who voted to destroy Iraq? Who took a podium in the Senate, and parroted every single line of spew from the Bush administration, in order to secure votes for the obliteration of Iraq? Which candidate then, years later, seeing the disaster she had helped wrought, smiled and told her donors, "this is a business opportunity!"

Which candidate, while in the State Department, pushed hte obama administration for a regime change policy in Libya, followed by immediate abandonment of the state, creating a humanitarian disaster and actually creating a forward base for Daesh - all amazingly forseeable outcomes.

Did sanders then laugh at the destruction of Libya, mangle a Julius Caesar quote, and completely own the disaster like it's a good thing?

of the two candidates, who had the harshest criticism of Obama and Kerry's efforts to solve the syrian crisis through diplomacy, rather than just shooting Russian planes out of the sky?

Of the two candidates, who, with the cameras on them, threatened the nuclear obliteration of iran?

You think Bernie's too grumpy. I think Clinton's actual foreign policy record is too littered with death, carnage, destruction, and setbacks for the nation she wants to be in charge of.

I guess we're at an impasse.

[seabeyond]

47. "Who voted to destroy Iraq? " Come on. It is stuff like this that puts a stop to reading any further

[Scootaloo]

52. If covering your eyes makes you feel better, go for it.

[seabeyond]

54. Why would you say something so insulting. My eyes are no more covered than yours.

We do see it differently though. I do not respect your way of seeing it either, all that much.

[Scootaloo]

60. I suppose we do see things differently.

[deathrind]

78. / This

[panader0]

40. Good grief, HRC is much, much more hawkish than Sanders....

[seabeyond]

48. NU uh. Sanders has not found a confrontation, war, military spending or action, except PART of ONE.

In all his history in congress.

I think not.

We are creating this huge dark shadow when it isnt.

[seabeyond]

46. Oh, absolutely. Without a doubt. That is a Huge plus on her side. Personally,

so huge that would get my vote. We do not need volatile or incompetent.

[peace13]

79. Except sometimes her story gets mixes up.

And that is pretty important to a President.

[sufrommich]

3. Yep. Wanna bet we'd be hearing about how

haughty "her highness" is?

[seabeyond]

49. OMG... I could not even figure what would be brought up. Nt.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

4. depends on what questions she was getting i assume

I'll wait for the unedited video.

[seabeyond]

50. I do not think it would matter.

[LiberalFighter]

5. That was weird.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. No./nt

[Agschmid]

7. I don't have a problem with this...

This tent city thing is being WAY overblown on here.

[Bluenorthwest]

22. It's disgusting what is said here, I know someone who was incarcerated there.

Fuck anyone who wants to distract from the shitty thing that is Tent City. It's the same people who want to claim Ron Reagan was an AIDS hero, a dishonest and twisted lot of people.

[seabeyond]

53. Kinda like being told Sanders is a feminist hero? That hurts. You betcha. I say seriously and

sincerely.

[Lucinda]

30. I do. If he cant handle a local news person without walking out, how is he going to handle real

issues?

[seabeyond]

56. He doesn't have to. He does not have to follow any of the other rules politicians have to follow

He is special. He can lie cheat and steal, and still be a man of integrity. He can use a party, their resources and influence, and not be beholden, or appreciative or even say thank you.

Sanders is special, in so many ways. I can keep going on.

Well, it is not gonna cut it in the real world.

Just like he doesn't get to slam the Dems, women, blacks, Latinos, and demand we vote for him. He really is not that special.

[seabeyond]

51. I could not disagree with you more. And I rarely disagree with you so strongly.

I think it absolutely spoke to what so many have been talking about for the last 8 months. I think it is absolutely about the blacks not voting for Sanders. Or the olderish women, or the Latinos, or gays.

I think as a white man, and having the issues he has had, hearing things he has said, and then this? Absolutely reinforces what we have been saying, and people tell us we are picking on Sanders. When this stuff is so close to the heart, we are not going ot sit quietly. They came right back with being past the confederate states. I could not disagree with you more.

[Human101948]

8. She's trying to avoid the mistakes she made last time...

Clinton’s strained relationship with the press this election cycle hasn’t quite reached the toxic levels of the 2008 race, when not only were reporters given little access to the candidate, they also had to deal with campaign aides yelling at them.

No one expected Clinton, who is said to dislike the media, to become especially chummy with reporters this time around. But during the lead-up to her presidential announcement, insiders had suggested that the 2016 campaign would try to avoid the mistakes of the 2008 team in terms of handling the press.

[Trenzalore]

64. Well in the General Election

Trump is actually having his staff assault reporters so she should be seen more favorably.

[pinebox]

9. Hillary has walked out of interviews before

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=hillary+walks+out+of+interview

and keep in mind that she ropes journalists in who cover her.

[nichomachus]

13. Commoners are not allowed to approach the queen. Nt

[BreakfastClub]

29. The queen? She's the hardest working queen I've ever seen. nt

[Politicalboi]

33. LOL!

Queen Bee's do a lot more than she.

[Logical]

11. LOL, she has! Nt

[nichomachus]

12. Imagine the uproar if she released her transcripts

Her campaign would be over in five minutes.

[Politicalboi]

37. Our peon eyes can't see those

The Queen has decided we don't need to see them. Hopefully the FBI will solve this ASAP! And then we won't care what her transcripts say.

[seabeyond]

58. None of your business and petty and bullying demanding it.

[nichomachus]

83. Sure is my business

She's asking for my vote for president. I need to know what she promised her Wall Street bosses. Unlike some people, I don't want to vote blind.

Bullying? What a ridiculous comment, but typical.

[seabeyond]

84. No it is not. You do not get to peak in her diary either.

[Jim Lane]

85. What a double standard

It's bullying to criticize Clinton for not releasing transcripts, but it's perfectly OK to criticize Sanders for not continuing an interview that had already run overtime when he had a rally to get to.

[seabeyond]

86. If I demanded Sanders political writings from past, or other stab at porn fantasy, then you would

have an argument.

I am not making that demand.

[Scootaloo]

15. Yeah, I can. it sounds like a quiet murmur in a lonely field.

[seabeyond]

59. Very poetic....

[Scootaloo]

61. I can turn a phrase but I can't lathe a poem, sadly.

[seabeyond]

65. mmmmm, and sometimes the message is merely a song, or a whisper of wind.

That works

Tinkling of the chimes that tickle within.... brightness of sun shining down providing warmth.

I hear ya dude.

[Scootaloo]

72. Aaaaand now I gotta pull out a Kansas album.

[seabeyond]

73. lol lol.... I, too, am listening to past music. Too funny Scoot. Thanks.

I needed a laugh to start my weekend....

Enjoy yours. Tough week.

[Scootaloo]

74. Sure.

Y'almost got me going over in that other thread, but man, like I said in that Op I just wrote... I'm tired. I'mma push for my candidate, hit the caucus on the 26th, and then sleep until June 8th.

[Joe the Revelator]

18. Its easier for her to just not answer questions nt

[Jitter65]

19. Yes. He is too "emotional" too "thin-skinned" too "unPresidential" to be the Dem candidate. nt

[Bluenorthwest]

21. I wish to fuck she's have walked out of the one the other day before praising Reagan on AIDS action.

That would have been smart of her, to just walk the fuck away from the product and stop saying false, hurtful, and ignorant things which alienated and hurt so many.

Not that her supporters give a shit.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

23. Nope. She probably never walked of a gig for her Wall Street admirers either.

[Autumn]

24. hi sea how ya doin

https://gfycat.com/ImprobableDeficientItalianbrownbear

[rhett o rick]

25. He knows an ambush when he sees one. Good for him. He was defending his wife. nm

[EndElectoral]

36. Exactly.

He felt the reporter was trying to allude that his wife went to tent city to meet with Joe the Sheriff, and he was insulted. He came to talk about real issues, not to have his wife attacked.

I find it amazing that Hillary supporters actually seem to be celebrating this in some bizarre way.

[rhett o rick]

38. They don't like progressives, even female progressives. nm

[seabeyond]

63. Right buddy, lol. That is it. Just don't like progressives. Caught me. AH ha. !!

[seabeyond]

62. ;)

[aaaaaa5a]

26. This is the fault of the campaign. Not Bernie specifically.

Every reporter in the world wants to do an interview. There is only so much time. The reporter was only suppose to take 4 minutes. If every interview runs long with the candidate, there won't be time to get anything else done in the day.


Every campaign (if done correctly) has a press person or "information officer" who handles such detail. Often times their job is to be the "bad guy" and end interview sessions when they go over their allowed time, breach subjects they agreed not to bring up, etc. etc.


The reporter was wrong. He was taking more time than what he had agreed to. The Sanders campaign is terribly run, because the candidate should never have to end an interview like that. There should be someone there to do that for him.

[seabeyond]

67. Clinton had one, that the rush was too uncomfortable and had wished she had the

time to actually talk and listen. I think it would have been interesting.

Thanks for your thoughts.

[SidDithers]

76. Nailed it...

Wish I'd read your post before writing mine.



Sid

[UglyGreed]

28. Maybe he should have just laughed

[Politicalboi]

31. The Horror!!!

She just denies us the right to see how she talks behind our backs. You guys may not care but the rest of us do. Of course those who want to see the transcripts are told they are using GOP talking points. There's more dirt coming for the Queen, hopefully she'll be buried by May.

[seabeyond]

68. OMG..... What are we in, high School? lol.

She just denies us the right to see how she talks behind our backs.

[Bluenorthwest]

32. She should have walked away from this one:

[seabeyond]

70. Did Nancy Reagan put in an effort, trying to address the issues in later 80"s?

[wendylaroux]

35. Good for Bernie!!!! also H does not

take shit from some gotcha yahoo reporter either. Lame attempt seabeyond.

[quickesst]

41. If Hillary did that...

... She would be the devil incarnate. Of course Bernie supporters would clutch their chest and say they would never say a thing like that, but we all know that's only because it hasn't happened yet.

[wildeyed]

42. Wow.

That was odd. Not very presidential. He should try to smile more

[seabeyond]

71. Really, he needs to smile more. Lol. Nt.

[LexVegas]

45. Yeah, theres a double standard. nt

[katsy]

55. As a Bernie supporter, my first thought

would be that the interviewer/newsreader was being a total douchebag.

I was thrilled when Jon Stewart called that CNN guy out also.

The fucking media is rw so if you don't get that... U just don't.

[CalvinballPro]

57. I believe he did it hoping it would generate any kind of media attention for him.

This is the Bernie Sanders version of "Going Trump." Tomorrow, he will noticeably leave a small tip at a restaurant where reporters are eating.

[Mary Mac]

66. I think this is a nonstory but

I agree women are treated more harshly. As a feminist, I am very excited about a female President and changing the role models for women. But Bernie has a right to terminate an interview. It's a big country.

[seabeyond]

69. Hey... It is not a big deal at all. You are right. Nt

[SidDithers]

75. If the 4 minutes are up, then a staffer interrupts and ends the interview...

When the candidate does it, it looks like he's avoiding something.

I really think that Tad Devine and Jeff Weaver have, through total incompetence, handcuffed Bernie's campaign.

That said:





Sid

[frazzled]

77. Sorry, but the interview is over when the reporter

says "Thank you, Senator Sanders," and the camera cuts away or is stopped. Not when your staff member tells you to get up and leave.

Admit it: this was very bad form.

[SidDithers]

80. I agree this it was hugely bad form...

I'm just mostly laying the fault at the feet of the Sanders campaign staff, rather than Sanders himself.

They put their candidate in a position where his actions made him look bad. Campaign staff should be doing everything to prevent that.

Sid

[MoonRiver]

81. Personally, I'm tired of giving Bernie a pass by blaming Devine and Weaver.

Yeah, they're douches, but Bernie is his own person. If he can't make simple decisions, such as when it is appropriate to end, or not, an interview, he's not ready for prime time.

[riversedge]

82. True. Bernie made the decision all by himself.
