So let me get this straight, hillary is sunk

[okieinpain]

without the african-american community vote which her husband destroyed with his crime bill. lol, isn't that some kind of irony.

[bravenak]

1. Bernie voted for it

[leftofcool]

3. Are they whitesplainin' again?

[bravenak]

10. You got it

[Punkingal]

4. Because of the violence against women part of the bill.

[Thinkingabout]

8. This is why Bill signed the bill.

[hellofromreddit]

16. Actually it was the children

There was a big concern back then about hyper-violent children becoming criminals.

21:40. He really hammers away at that idea. The crime bill was supposed to deter most and incarcerate the incorrigible ones. But it just tagged a generation as criminals and tore apart poor communities. Just as many had predicted.

[Thinkingabout]

23. Maybe the story will change next week.

[Trenzalore]

27. Bernie has voted against other bills for minor reasons in the past to maintain his purity

I believe he had some reason for being against Amber Alerts, and the Brady Bill, etc.

[hrmjustin]

36. No excuse. If Clinton gets blame so does Sanders.

[Thinkingabout]

5. Was just going to say Sanders voted for the bill, guess now Sanders is sunk.

[bravenak]

11. They always forget to say that part

[sheshe2]

22. Fair is fair.

[MADem]

6. Shhhh!

Don't go inserting facts into the narrative, now!

[bravenak]

13. Righto!

[NWCorona]

9. Yes along with the black caucus

The difference is that Bernie CBC and the rest of the Democrats. Didn't use demonizing language to get it passed.

[bravenak]

12. Vote counts just the same

[NWCorona]

20. I never said it didn't

But there is this, end justifies the means, thing.

[dchill]

2. Yes.

[NWCorona]

7. I'm not to sure this is going to be a productive discussion

You need more than one paragraph.

[scscholar]

14. One more paragraph about what?

About what?

[NWCorona]

18. This just seems that this is kinda flamish.

[Godhumor]

15. I'm going to assume you don't understand the multitude of reasons this OP is problematic

But you might want to seriously consider a self-delete.

[FreedomRain]

17. not sunk

She still has a chance, I think she should stay in

[yourpaljoey]

19. Hillary should be indicted in May

Is this what you mean?

[DemonGoddess]

24. You should be ashamed of yourself

parroting RW talking points.

This is DEMOCRATIC Underground, not REPUBLICAN Underground. SHEESH.

[Cobalt Violet]

28. sure seems it with all the right wingers around here lately.

[yourpaljoey]

33. You better start watching this email disaster more closely

The unfolding shady activity has
nothing to do with a right wing evil conspiracy to discredit
Hillary and everything to do with the Clinton Foundation
business model.

[beedle]

21. I know right?

They had exactly the same stance on the bill so how can one have two different opinions on their supp .. o ...r.... OH!

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign manager on Thursday reiterated the senator’s reasoning for voting in favor of the Clinton administration’s 1994 Crime Bill despite serious reservations. The House version of the bill included a ban on semi-automatic assault weapons. Sanders had supported the ban since 1988. The conference committee version included not only the assault weapons ban but also the Violence Against Women Act provisions. Sanders supported these efforts to protect women.

In Sanders’ statement at the time, he criticized the mass incarceration and death penalty provisions in the bill, saying:

“…it is also my view that through the neglect of our Government and through a grossly irrational set of priorities, we are dooming tens of millions of young people to a future of bitterness, misery, hopelessness, drugs, crime, and violence.

And Mr. Speaker, all the jails in the world, and we already imprison more people per capita than any other country, and all of the executions in the world, will not make that situation right. We can either educate or electrocute. We can create meaningful jobs, rebuilding our society, or we can build more jails.

Mr. Speaker, let us create a society of hope and compassion, not one of hate and vengeance.”

During consideration of the bill, Sanders voted six times to weaken or eliminate the death penalty provisions and voted separately against creating new mandatory minimums. Then-First Lady Hillary Clinton spoke strongly in favor of increased incarceration, labeling at risk youth as “super-predators” who had to be “brought to heel.”

Seems there was only one thing that could possibly get Hillary to put aside her strong aversion to firearms, the thought of putting "$uper predator$" into the Prison Industrial Complex.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. In other words he was the against the bill before he was for it./nt

[beedle]

35. No, his stance is still clear

it hasn't really changed ... he's for doing something about violence against women, and still wants to gut the stupid part of the bill that has failed.

If he had voted against the bill you'd be claiming he didn't do enough to stop violence against women.

He may have voted for the bill, but he had the right position on all the sections of that bill, unlike Hillary who once again showed poor judgement in the parts she supported.

[MelungeonWoman]

31. We can either educate or electrocute.

That's MY President.

[ericson00]

25. too bad she's still ahead in popular vote by a mile and delegates decisively.

yea, sunk like an iceberg.

[uponit7771]

26. Sigh...not this shit again

[reddread]

30. compared to her long term efforts for welfare reform?

thats where the beef is.
her personal involvement
targeting services for
single mothers with children.

she is getting a bye from everyone on her darkest secret.

[BlueStateLib]

32. No Democrat has ever won a majority of the white vote for President after 1964

[bigtree]

34. that would suppose that the crime bill is all black voters are concerned with

...that would be bad for Bernie, since he voted for it.

But, clearly, assigning blame for that that legislation isn't the primary consideration of the majority of these voters.

Hillary has a wide coalition of voters supporting her.
