I think Hillary may be in for a nasty surprise in NY.

[thereismore]

Yes it's her "home State" yet again. But it is also Bernie's and his accent proves it every time you hear him speak.

More importantly, when she got elected and re-elected to the Senate, she was running as a liberal during Bush years. Her time in office is indelibly associated with her vote for the IWR, and her time after that is indelibly associated with cashing out on Wall Street.

She is now running as a neocon who happens to be against Citizens United. The only issue where she maintains credibility is her neoconservatism. I know she has said her vote was a mistake, but nobody really believes that.

A piece of ancient wisdom for you Hillary: You don't enter the same river twice. NY does not love you.

1. Unfortunately, the polls don't bear that out right now

Hopefully, he can eat into her poll lead the way he did in Michigan.

[thereismore]

2. He's got 3 weeks. I hope he can do it. New Yorkers aren't low information people. nt

9. Is that rural NY or "NY"?

As a past resident and frequent visitor to those rural areas, I'm seeing lots of small town Republicans who are maybe just hateful enough with the status quo to not vote Hillary, but then .... WHO?

It's a real dilemma. I can't get my brother to understand that by remaining an "Independent", that he won't have a voice in the primary.

6. ...

10. Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better

Been looking at polling figures for upcoming states and feeling a little down.

[Stardust]

12. I'm printing this out and hanging on my wall as a reminder that the polls can be very wrong. TY! nt

[Faux pas]

3. Kickin'

[SoapBox]

4. "...who happens to be against Citizens United."

And anyone want to lay odds how "hard" she would work to overturn CU?

I would say you would win nada.

[thereismore]

5. It's just her latest Hillary 3.0, so I guess right now she is against it...

7. Bernie Sanders campaigns 'like a Brooklynite'. Is that an insult?

It was an insult according to this article. Remember that the comment was made in the context of "Clinton is going to run a campaign like a Senator". SO Sanders running like a Brooklynite is in contrast to running like a Senator.

8. I don't even know what running like a Brooklynite could mean.

Seriously.

Is Brooklynite the new "Chicago politician?" - cause that would be Clinton and Obama both.

[RoccoR5955]

14. I can tell you what a Brooklynite is

I am one. Born and raised in the 4th largest city in the US (if it was a city)
Some famous Brooklynites include: Issac Asimov, Mel Brooks, Shirley Chisholm, Aaron Copeland, Arlo Guthrie, The Three Stooges, Danny Kaye, Carole King, Lou Reed, Joan Rivers, Phil Rizzuto, Carl Sagan, Mae West, Walt Whithman, Henny Youngman, and many others.
These folks are just plain folks like you and me. We speak with a distinctive voice, and a distinctive direct attitude. We are individuals, and citizens of Planet Earth. It may not seem like we care, but get to know us, and you will find that we care for one another as much or more than anyone else.

I guess what I am trying to say is that we are a diverse bunch of people, who come from immigrants from all over the place, and we do what we can to get along, because we have to in order to survive. We try to make things better between these different cultures, and appreciate the best in each of them, while integrating them into our own culture. Not much surprises us, as we see a lot of different things in our neighborhoods.

We are not above anyone, we are part of the masses. Being a Brooklynite is a state of mind.

I guess running like a Brooklynite, is running with respect for others, and telling it straight, and being honest to people if you want to succeed.

I want a Falafel from Ave J, and a hot dog from Nathan's now. And a walk on the Coney Island Boardwalk.

[thereismore]

15. It's a great thing! I doubt that's what Hillary means when she says "running like a Brooklynite."

I think she means "fight dirty".

[RoccoR5955]

17. She's not a Brooklynite.

She knows nothing about Brooklyn, or the lifestyles of folks there.
Don't mess with Brooklynites!
Now she has the 4th largest city in the US (if it was a city) against her!

[thereismore]

18. I know! But the Clinton Foundation has offices in gentrified Brooklyn I heard.

[RoccoR5955]

19. They commute to have their offices in a "cool" location.

They just have their office there because that part of Brooklyn has become gentrified, and is "cool." Wait about 10 years, and nobody will go there any more.

[thereismore]

20. The Clintons are opportunists of the highest order. To think that I liked

them both and especially Bill! Ugh. NYC please do not fuck this up.

[Baobab]

23. well put

Hillary is not a New Yorker in the same sense Bernie is. I think many people can see that, isn't it obvious!

[dana_b]

11. like a regular person?

At this point, most Senators are just blathering assholes with their hands out so I'll take the regular person.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

13. I have heard her say, proudly, that she represents Wall Street

What she meant by that, I think, was more of "They are my constituents too, and those poor babies are unprotected and need a senator to look out for them."

What it sounded like in the real world is, "Hey, butt out. I earned those speaking fees fair and square. You little people simply don't get how the world operates, while I do. Those millions and the payments to the foundation? I am telling you that there is no "is" there. So butt out and leave the grifting to those who know and understand it best."

[restorefreedom]

16. there is a reason she is afraid to debate in ny

her internals must be looking bad.

[Lone_Wolf]

21. She's pro-fracking also...

And NY just went through a contentious fracking debate before it was banned here.

[mak3cats]

22. I made an OP a little while ago...

...that supports your position (I even cited you). I hope we're both right.
