1. He never said he has a plan to make a plan, or needs to "have a conversation". :-)

Oh, and if Hillary was president, would she be Queen Hillary and wave a magic wand and get everything done?
If they are both the same, some people choose Bernie. You should get over that. I believe the problem with primary Time at DU is that some people are going to spend time trying to, um, what? Get DUers to switch camps? Doubties that will happen much. Maybe better to spend time out there on the grass roots thing, methinks - or are DU unbelievers a grass-roots target? If so, that sort of approach is DOA and just a waste of time. IMO and all that.

Oh, and so far Hillary's answer do sound like vague Miss America answers. Even the WAR ON HEROIN. If that is more outreach and/or more police, then not going to work. Ending that lucrative drug war would work.

I have to agree with this. Very well said. ScreamingMeemie May 2015 #3

On DU, it's not about switchin camps or the candidate even. morningfog May 2015 #4

A president can only be as liberal as the Congress allows them to be. MohRokTah May 2015 #7

Again. Heard the same thing in 2008. Dawgs May 2015 #24

No you didn't. Bernie wasn't running. Obama was a serious challenger from the beginning. Bernie isnt stevenleser May 2015 #46

Wrong again Steve. Hillary will fuck up as usual. Dawgs May 2015 #49

If Hillary screws up, we'll get Biden, not Sanders. There is no scenario where Bernie is the nominee stevenleser May 2015 #53

Sure, all of those progressives on DU fighting for Biden is proof that he's the real alternative. Dawgs May 2015 #56

Yep, he fets 200-400 likes here. It requires 15-20 million votes to get the nomination. Sorry no go stevenleser May 2015 #57

So, by your logic the 200-400 recs Obama got in 2008 meant he wasn't getting the nomination. Dawgs May 2015 #72

Nope, there was other evidence of Obama's popularity in polls. There is none of that with Bernie. nt stevenleser May 2015 #75

I normally hate polls F4lconF16 May 2015 #77

Can't change now. That wasn't your argument. Dawgs May 2015 #78

Holy Cow!!!! Long Drive May 2015 #91

Yeah, I heard the smae thing, too, about DENNIS KUCINICH! MohRokTah May 2015 #71

In your opinion. Dawgs May 2015 #73

Yep. If DU was a valid measurement, Kucinich would have been President in 2004 and 2008 stevenleser May 2015 #76

Uh, wrong. I was here in 2004 and 2008 and Kucinich never came close to the support for Bernie. Dawgs May 2015 #79

In 1963 Hillary was in high school, did she vote for Goldwater, hell no, Thinkingabout May 2015 #27

Let's see - um, she was a Goldwater Girl. Remember Goldwater (McCain's KingCharlemagne May 2015 #28

Biggest dupe, get over it, she was still a teenager, parhaps Thinkingabout May 2015 #31

She was the biggest dupe in history when she voted for the Iraq War. Either that or KingCharlemagne May 2015 #38

Get off your high horse and stop the name calling, you loose points when you resort to name calling. Thinkingabout May 2015 #41

Why don't you stop supporting someone who voted for a war that killed KingCharlemagne May 2015 #42

You support who you want I will support the most qualified candidate. Thinkingabout May 2015 #44

He is not pushing Hillary in a corner. Why would he even be able to push her in Thinkingabout May 2015 #43

You Hillary supporters sure have a lot of comments about someone who's apparently a nobody. Dawgs May 2015 #52

So even you think he is a nobody, go figure. Thinkingabout May 2015 #59

No. I said, 'Hillary supporters think he's a nobody.' Not me. Dawgs May 2015 #64

You don't know what Hillary supporters think, and it was a weak try for you to say this. Thinkingabout May 2015 #68
