You have a weird sense of left and right Rilgin Jun 2015 #44

I have Paul Krugman's sense of left and right. geek tragedy Jun 2015 #57

I think you do, actually. MADem Jun 2015 #72

To mandate that you buy insurance from a Private Insurer is THE Republican plan Rilgin Jun 2015 #109

"and at the center of his plan was a public option." Herman4747 Jun 2015 #104

we, that makes her more corporate, not less Doctor_J Jun 2015 #81

You had health insurance for $500 a year? ellisonz Jun 2015 #100

But is it to the left of Bernie Sanders? nt TBF Jun 2015 #3

Hell no, it would be too far left. Thinkingabout Jun 2015 #5

No. But in the realm of what is realistically possible it doesn't matter. DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2015 #16

So we need to eat our peas? Fearless Jun 2015 #46

You just need to be realistic. Just because everybody loves him and would vote for him Ed Suspicious Jun 2015 #68

DU = / = the American electorate YoungDemCA Jun 2015 #71

Does DU play a role in influencing the American electorate or are we just sitting around Ed Suspicious Jun 2015 #83

That's like saying Hillary Clinton beats every Republican by fifty points... DemocratSinceBirth Jun 2015 #54

Just read this. NCTraveler Jun 2015 #4

Excellent article. Thank you. leftofcool Jun 2015 #6

all of those- Warren, Sanders, Stiglitz strongly oppose the TPP. She endorsed it in her book. cali Jun 2015 #7

yeah, this article's complete bs Doctor_J Jun 2015 #88

But significantly? Orsino Jun 2015 #8

Being to the left of Obama on economics isn't saying much. BillZBubb Jun 2015 #9

Clintonomics says otherwise. Exilednight Jun 2015 #10

When did Hillary do that? I must have missed it. wyldwolf Jun 2015 #11

First debate in 2008 when she made the claim Exilednight Jun 2015 #12

Hillary did everything you cited in a debate in 2008?? wyldwolf Jun 2015 #20

She ran on her husbands economic record, and the first debate in 2008 Exilednight Jun 2015 #24

but you gave a list of things Hillary had done wyldwolf Jun 2015 #26

If she wants credit for what her husband did then she must also take accountability for it. Exilednight Jun 2015 #33

Did you miss the part where I asked.. wyldwolf Jun 2015 #35

It allowed banks like WaMu, BofA and Wachovia Exilednight Jun 2015 #43

but the banks that caused the financial meltdown wouldn't have been subject to it. wyldwolf Jun 2015 #55

You're quoting Brook and Watkims of the Ayn Rand Center. Exilednight Jun 2015 #62

I was quoting Forbes. Steven Pearlstein more acceptable? And Elizabeth Warren's quote? wyldwolf Jun 2015 #82

He got a few facts wrong, but it's not Pearlstein's first time doing so. Exilednight Jun 2015 #94

I'm quoting sources, you're not. And you're attacking mine wyldwolf Jun 2015 #96

I can't find a direct source for the Warren quote. Third hand Exilednight Jun 2015 #103

"Knowledge is the best I can find. Economics is my life." wyldwolf Jun 2015 #107

The real answer... Springslips Jun 2015 #99

I was going for an answer that was easily understandable, but that sums it up nicely. Exilednight Jun 2015 #108

How is it that you cannot see Hillary Clinton as her own person BainsBane Jun 2015 #13

She made the connection, not me. Exilednight Jun 2015 #14

This is entirely your doing BainsBane Jun 2015 #18

Again: she made the statement, not me. It's her words, not mine. Exilednight Jun 2015 #23

No doubt, we often attribute those quotes which validate our biases... LanternWaste Jun 2015 #80

No it does not relfect how people see women SaranchaIsWaiting Jun 2015 #115

Good, then she can't take credit for the good things Motown_Johnny Jun 2015 #19

Well, he is a former president, he has the experience and he's a notorious know-it-all tularetom Jun 2015 #97

Why do you think Hillary is an extension of her husband? leftofcool Jun 2015 #27

Hillary's words, not mine. SHE claimed her husbands record, I did not force it on her. Exilednight Jun 2015 #34

DU rec...nt SidDithers Jun 2015 #15

So when questioned about her husband's banking reform Motown_Johnny Jun 2015 #17

What I am more curious to see from the debates is if Hillary's answers Exilednight Jun 2015 #22

That was kinda my point. n/t Motown_Johnny Jun 2015 #38

Why should she be asked about "her husband's" policies. leftofcool Jun 2015 #30

Because she ran on being first lady in 2008 Motown_Johnny Jun 2015 #37

Yup, she has all the benefits but none of the responsibility Damansarajaya Jun 2015 #50

It won't fly in the General. Motown_Johnny Jun 2015 #84

If I recall she did use her being First Lady as experience SaranchaIsWaiting Jun 2015 #116

she will give the DLC answer, which is always like a judge trying to please a rapist and his victim yurbud Jun 2015 #69

"She's been in the public eye far too long to have avoided inconsistencies over the years." Damansarajaya Jun 2015 #21

LMAO! leftofcool Jun 2015 #31

Thanks for that content-free post. No calories. Less filling. nt Damansarajaya Jun 2015 #48

Yep, Hillary is laughable. Motown_Johnny Jun 2015 #85

Time. Folks are impatient. Obama was just the start of the revolution, Clinton will succeed Obama and Fred Sanders Jun 2015 #25

"Folks are impatient" because they need to eat. TBF Jun 2015 #41

What "revolution"? Obama is a proud defender of the status quo, not a revolutionary... truebluegreen Jun 2015 #66

Actual revolutions are incredibly rare historically and almost inevitably lead to violence YoungDemCA Jun 2015 #70

Of course not. Stupid question. truebluegreen Jun 2015 #78

'especially for a candidate who's not facing meaningful opposition in the Democratic primary' elleng Jun 2015 #32

Thank you Skinner. lark Jun 2015 #36

this is good. Obama has jumped the shark on the trade deal samsingh Jun 2015 #39

That could very well be. Her husband on the other hand sure wasn't, and I suspect a lot of the still_one Jun 2015 #40

I don't believe there is any significant difference between Hillary and Obama economicly. Autumn Jun 2015 #42
