Nina Turner: A strong, smart woman w/integrity.

[Skwmom]

I really hope she runs for the U.S. Senate. She would work tirelessly on behalf of the people.

Her interview starts at around 4:30. Notice the point where Ms. Clinton's Cheerleader chuckles.

Update: In an election season where I have seen one women after another lie and engage in smears against Bernie and his supporters, as a woman I am happy that there is at least a woman of integrity still engaged in the cesspool of politics.

1. But "a strong, smart man with integrity"

would be every male candidate's dream slogan.

Jeezus.

[senz]

24. Sounds good regardless of gender.

[Skwmom]

30. I support strong, smart people with integrity getting into politics. Bernie is as a strong, smart

man with integrity. However, as a woman it has be extremely disappointing to see how many woman politicians lied, lied, and lied some more this election season.

2. Who would you like her to replace?

[Txbluedog]

3. Nina knows why she's not running for officedespite being one if Sander's biggest surrogate

She knows she can't even get elected to dog catcher on a federal level

[NurseJackie]

4. It's difficult to listen to her ... take a breath! Slow down, Nina!

[Stuckinthebush]

6. Agreed

She is a terrible surrogate.

[Armstead]

10. Oh bullshit. if she were a surrogate for Clinton you'd be singing her praises...

[Stuckinthebush]

12. She wouldnt be

She's that bad

[NurseJackie]

19. Correct! Armstead is just being deliberately contrary.

[Armstead]

29. Moi?

No she's passionate and exprresses things in a great way. She got the chops.

I realize the fact that she's saying it about Bernie makes it seem obnoxious to some people.

But if she were going on like that praising Clinton , it'd be music to your ears.

[NurseJackie]

31. Oui, toi!

But if she were going on like that praising Clinton , it'd be music to your ears.

... you assume that I'd be able to understand and pay attention to what she's saying rather than the disaffected and distracting way she says it. Her "passion" as you describe it, is clearly meant for the choir and less so for anyone who's not yet made up their mind.

As these things go, I suppose that's all well and good ... but if the goal was to use her as a way to get more support (rather than playing only to the support Bernie already had) then she's never been a very effective spokesperson. Bernie and his surrogates have always been good at playing to those that they'd already attracted, but (obviously) he was less successful in presenting an image and a message (whether through his own actions, his own policy, or through the voice/s of his surrogates) that actually connected or resonated beyond his base.

That's my broader point, take it or leave it. You're smart enough to understand that, and that's why I believe you were being contrary for its own sake. But, ya know what? It really doesn't matter much beyond today, does it?

[Armstead]

8. Gosh I thought you liked enthusiasm

I guess if it is for someone besides Clinton it's a bad quality to have.

[NurseJackie]

11. Enthusiasm is great! Talking a mile a minute without breathing is exhausting!

Armstead

Oh, please ... don't be silly!

She's the kind of talker who's "style" (if you can call it that) is so distracting that you never hear what she's trying to say. It's like listening to that old FedEx commercial with the fast-talking man. You never actually hear or understand WHAT he's saying, but it's certainly an exhausting experience to marvel at HOW he says it.

[Skwmom]

22. I think that is a far better description of Ms. Clinton's Cheerleader when she is all hyped up.

I wondered if she was taking something or drinking massive doses of caffeine.

[Scootaloo]

27. Yeah. I'm sure that's why you don't want to hear her speak.

[oasis]

5. Nina switched from a star in order to hitch her wagon to a comet.

the comet is about to fizzle out.

[Armstead]

9. Don't fucking count on it

Bernie may not be the nominee -- but he is not going to "fizzle out.'

I wish I had the salt concession around here -- some people need so much of it to rub into wounds.

[oasis]

20. My comment was aimed at Nina. She's through. nt

[senz]

26. Why do you say that?

Do you expect Hill to put Nina on the famous Clinton enemies list?

Nina Turner is an outstanding human being. She'll be just fine.

[senz]

25. And why are you so bitter, oasis?

[LexVegas]

7. She'll never go beyond state office. nt

[LiberalFighter]

13. How will she make it to U.S. Senate when she couldn't even get elected to a state-wide office?

[democrattotheend]

23. Obama got elected to the US Senate after losing a Congressional primary by a bunch

And Bernie ran several campaigns in Vermont where he got crushed before he successfully ran for mayor of Burlington and then ran statewide.

[bigdarryl]

14. She couldnt even beat that crszy ass Secretary Of Elections

In Ohio and she couldn't deliver Ohio for.Sandrrs so I like her but how much swaying does she have

[Stinky The Clown]

15. I think a lot of her.

She's a good one. I like her enthusiasm. I always thought she was a good surrogate for Sanders.

[book_worm]

16. Yes, another great woman of integrity just like Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton.

[senz]

28. One person does not belong in that list.

[Lazy Daisy]

17. I've always liked Nina

There's been a couple times in the past I didn't agree with her, but have always thought she is terrific.
Her passion for people is apparent when she speaks. You feel her words in your chest. She gets in you and drives you.
I'm grateful she supported Bernie and became a surrogate. I think she did a wonderful job for him.

Thank you Nina. Don't let the harpies get you down.

[George Eliot]

18. Nina and Van Jones both stars for Bernie.

[Skwmom]

21. I like Van Jones too.
