I think she'd be a better President than Sanders, I just don't see how she could win the general this cycle.

Precisely what they're doing. senz Mar 2016 #34

Bernie is against WTO. Cavallo Mar 2016 #45
if the new FTAs pass, Bernie's entire platform is moot Baobab Mar 2016 #55
Then why is Obama trying to sell it to us and congress? Cavallo Mar 2016 #65
Well he could pull us out of all the FTAs, WTO, etc. Dubya abrogated treaties I believe. hedda_foil Mar 2016 #69
the FTAs are the reason he was nominated - he was an expert at sweet-talking Baobab Mar 2016 #83
The Tribune? MADem Mar 2016 #7
Yet the Suntimes endorsed her. ChairmanAgnostic Mar 2016 #8
They probably endorsed her for the same reason the Trib endorsed Obama. MADem Mar 2016 #12
Suntimes and trib are owned by the same people now Ferd Berfel Mar 2016 #22
So, she's a Republican. Baobab Mar 2016 #36
You understand that it was Clint Eastwood's character in "The Unforgiven" who was quoted, not Clint Attorney in Texas Mar 2016 #11
Using Clint Eastwood, regardless of whether it is a character or himself, to make a point is MADem Mar 2016 #14
Have you seen "The Unforgiven"? Morgan Freeman, Frances Fisher, Richard Harris, Gene Hackman? Attorney in Texas Mar 2016 #15
Using Clint Eastwood on a Democratic message board to "prove" any assertion is a strong error MADem Mar 2016 #16
OK. I quoted a newspaper editorial, which quoted a movie, in which Clint Eastwood was an actor Attorney in Texas Mar 2016 #20
hilarious ain't they? stupidicus Mar 2016 #23
It does have a Twilight Zone feel to it. NOTE: I checked to confirm that Rod Serling was a suitable Attorney in Texas Mar 2016 #25
are you sure he's "clean" though stupidicus Mar 2016 #27
I took a risk on Rod. I hope he doesn't let me down. Attorney in Texas Mar 2016 #29
that was bizarre. it's not like he was playing himself in the movie! m-lekktor Mar 2016 #28
Very. I think it may have to do with the high stress of the campaign. That's understandable. Attorney in Texas Mar 2016 #30
I think you are being kind! I will just smh and move on! nt m-lekktor Mar 2016 #38
LOL!! This isn't an obscure reference...to anyone who has been around for awhile. MADem Mar 2016 #47
Let me get this straight. Marr Mar 2016 #51
He's not "betraying his conservative stripes...." MADem Mar 2016 #59
Um... yeah, that's what 'betraying' would mean in this context. Marr Mar 2016 #77
No, he's touting Sanders so his conservative favorite will presumably face a weaker candidate. MADem Mar 2016 #81
I give up. You have a nice evening. /nt Marr Mar 2016 #82
this whole discussion is HILARIOUS! I want to believe it's a subtle self parody too nuanced for me Vote2016 Mar 2016 #78

It truly was an odd reaction, while totally ignoring the context of the article. Major Hogwash Mar 2016 #93
The author of that piece is right winger John Kass. greatauntoftriplets Mar 2016 #17

Ok this is coming from the Tribune, the paper of record in Chicago nadinbrzezinski Mar 2016 #46
It's coming from a wingnut at the Tribune. Consider the source. MADem Mar 2016 #48

The Trib endorsed Rubio, and refused to endorse either Bernie or Hillary Martin Eden Mar 2016 #56
This isn't their opinion; it's an op-ed brooklynite Mar 2016 #68
OK, then the OP title is misleading Martin Eden Mar 2016 #91
Take John Kass with a big grain of salt. greatauntoftriplets Mar 2016 #89
