65. What does "original" mean? What, you want us to read her mind or something?

Nov 2015

And what does "lite" mean? Most of Sanders' proposals do not have a hope in hell of passing Congress. If "realistic" means "lite' you will wait all day. Your "rules" are constructed to ensure that you can reject any proposals a Clinton supporter brings forward. Maybe you need to dial back your 'conditions.' That said, I will bite:



She'll nominate Supreme Court justices that won't roll back the clock on key issues of import to the Democratic demographic, and will put social justice at the forefront of their decision making processes. These nominees WILL pass Senate scrutiny, because they will be well vetted and prepared for the gauntlet.

She will push for affordable college tuition and will have a better chance of getting it than a pipe dream like "Pie In The Sky Free Tuition For All." Even if you don't need this, it might help relatives, or friends. What it will do, too, is improve the skillsets of people in your community, making them more employable. More skilled workers attract more jobs. More jobs mean a better economy.

She will nominate a capable, experienced cabinet and executive branch officials. I wouldn't be surprised if Elizabeth Warren ends up as Fed Chair during a Clinton administration. I think Sanders would make a respectable Labor Secretary, and he might be ready to do that kind of thing at this stage in his life.


But seriously-- don't caucus for her if you don't like her. Support whosoever you choose in the primary.
That's a difficult challenge. But I'm not a Hillary supporter so I'll leave it to them. sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #1
This should be interesting. mmonk Nov 2015 #2

It has more to do with your snarky combative tone and bullshit "conditions." MADem Nov 2015 #68

Oh, well then- Sanders will be able to get much accomplished. notadmblnd Nov 2015 #110
Maybe he'll take on a party role--like whip, or a position in the progressive caucus MADem Nov 2015 #123
No, I think he'll do just fine Presidenting notadmblnd Nov 2015 #125

These are all the things I, as a Bernie supporter, would have posted, as well. ancianita Nov 2015 #93
A day later and no replies. TM99 Nov 2015 #28
This to me shows the worst aspects of her campaign Long on polls and attacks absolutely no substance Vincardog Nov 2015 #30
It's too early to characterize the next 11 months of her campaign by recent tactics. Those will ancianita Nov 2015 #95
Right the all important... MrWendel Nov 2015 #31
Thanks for proving my post eerily correct. TM99 Nov 2015 #32

That explains my insistance that it help PEOPLE. Say Hi to David Van Os for me, if you see him. Vincardog Nov 2015 #38
Your question has a false premise Yavin4 Nov 2015 #39
Bernie's proposal for medicare for everyone would improve a lot of lives. His proposal Vincardog Nov 2015 #40
None of those proposals can realistically happen given the current make up of the congress Yavin4 Nov 2015 #41
That is why we have elections in democracies: so we can elect representatives who work to improve Vincardog Nov 2015 #42
Allot of these places... MrWendel Nov 2015 #58
So you admit HCR supports not a single policy to help PEOPLE. Vincardog Nov 2015 #43
No. That's your interpretation. Yavin4 Nov 2015 #44
Is it my interpritation, that you can not list anyway her presidency would improve my life? Vincardog Nov 2015 #48
Her presidency would keep us on the path to recovery which was started by Obama in 2009 Yavin4 Nov 2015 #50
you can not list anyway her presidency would improve my life pleas list some or quit wasting my tim Vincardog Nov 2015 #91

You don't know if Hillary negotiated the TPP. If so, provide links. Here are specifics that lead me ancianita Nov 2015 #99
#2 is laughable. tazkcmo Nov 2015 #105
You're not paying attention to her bipartisan influence on past legislation, then. Given how ancianita Nov 2015 #109
"Her presidency would mean having a functioning competent government." tazkcmo Nov 2015 #103

Here is 1 very direct thing Bernie could help me with: Bread and Circus Nov 2015 #55
He could do that if he wrote you a check. I doubt he would have any luck convincing Congress MADem Nov 2015 #63
The original post is about proposals. Don't hijack a thread. Bread and Circus Nov 2015 #77
Who's hijacking? What you're listing as a proposal is a pipe dream. It will NEVER happen and MADem Nov 2015 #124
Read the OP. It is about proposals. Not what can or cannot be enacted. Bread and Circus Nov 2015 #129
Proposals that cannot be enacted are not called "proposals." MADem Nov 2015 #130
Then start your own thread, don't hijack this one just because you want to change the question. Bread and Circus Nov 2015 #131
If you're a doctor and you 'didn't see what she did,' you didn't look very hard. MADem Nov 2015 #132

That's not me doing the talking, or the credit assigning, there, Doctor. MADem Nov 2015 #135
