Warhippy Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 On 1/22/2020 at 2:01 PM, DonLever said: WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton criticized the campaign of her former Democratic presidential rival Bernie Sanders in a new documentary in which she says he was an ineffective U.S. senator who accomplished little because “nobody liked him.” Clinton also weighed in on the dispute between Sanders and 2020 Democratic presidential rival Elizabeth Warren centring around the electability of women, saying Sanders demonstrated “a pattern” in how his campaign attacked women rivals. The criticism, made in a Hulu documentary to be shown at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday and an interview promoting it, revealed lingering bitterness toward Sanders after he mounted an unexpected Democratic primary challenge to Clinton in 2016. Clinton backers blame Sanders’ supporters for tarnishing her with vitriolic criticism that helped put Republican Donald Trump in the White House. “He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it,” Clinton says in the documentary, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Amazingly, from his record. he's been on the right or correct side of history more often than not. His initiatives, his ideas and his campaigns have all been rooted in common sense and what the people truly want. Going back to civil rights cases and even the Iraqi invasion. Not sure Clinton should be whinging about people not liking him. A presidents job is to lead, not be popular. The US already had two leaders who ran on popularity. One was popular, the other thinks he is popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonLever Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 DES MOINES — Senator Bernie Sanders has opened up a lead in Iowa just over a week before the Democratic caucuses, consolidating support from liberals and benefiting from divisions among more moderate presidential candidates who are clustered behind him, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll of likely caucusgoers. Mr. Sanders has gained six points since the last Times-Siena survey, in late October, and is now capturing 25 percent of the vote in Iowa. Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., and former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. have remained stagnant since the fall, with Mr. Buttigieg capturing 18 percent and Mr. Biden 17 percent. The rise of Mr. Sanders has come at the expense of his fellow progressive, Senator Elizabeth Warren: she dropped from 22 percent in the October poll, enough to lead the field, to 15 percent in this survey. Senator Amy Klobuchar, who is garnering 8 percent, is the only other candidate approaching double digits. The changing fortunes of the leading candidates underscores the volatile nature of the primary after more than a year of campaigning, as voters wrestle with which candidate can defeat President Trump. Despite the ascent of Mr. Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, the poll also highlighted the combined appeal of the centrists: 55 percent of those surveyed said they preferred a standard-bearer who is “more moderate than most Democrats.” Just 38 percent said they wanted one who is “more liberal than most Democrats.” As the strength of the other leading candidates has ebbed and flowed, Mr. Sanders, making his second run for the White House, appears to be peaking at the right time. This month was the first time he has finished atop a poll in Iowa, after also leading a Des Moines Register-CNN survey two weeks ago. The Times-Siena poll’s margin of error was plus or minus 4.8 percentage points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing 'Talking Monkeys in Space' where he goes on about dude's trying to act Alpha, he was bang on about it. He also acts just like it. Then again, I do like his term 'Question Mark kick' for when you fake a low front kick and switch to a roundhouse to the dome. So he's not all bad Edit: Oh,the tweet I was referring to was from 2015. Joe probably doesn't use that lingo anymore, dunno.

Trying to make reparations for slavery is a monumental task. Aside from the fact that the majority of Americans at the time did not own slaves. Some black people owned slaves. Most slaves were captured and sold by other Africans, and it is not beyond the realm of possibility that some of those who did the selling became slaves themselves. So, should the descendants of those people not be entitled to any reparations? Do you punish the slave states only? Do you try to punish those in Africa who also profited? What about Americans who emigrated here long after slavery was abolished... are they equally responsible for reparations? Then there is the biggie... how many black people in the US (or UK, or Canada, or...) who have descended from slaves are far better off than if slavery never happened. Given the choice, would any of them prefer to be back in Africa as opposed to the US? Trying to prove if/what is owed to anyone, and who should pay, is impossible. And, as far as student loans go, why should anyone be forgiven their debt? They knew what they were signing up for. The vast majority of them had parents or other adult caregivers to help guide them un their decisions. They made an investment in themselves by borrowing money for school. Many of them got their degrees, worked hard and have done well for themselves and are able to pay their debts. Others were irresponsible, and/or overspent, or had no career plan, or made other poor choices. And some had bad luck. Why should the government bail them out? 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERNIE SANDERS "When you're white ... you don't know what it's like to be poor." — PolitiFact National on Monday, March 7th, 2016 If you ignore the 20 million "white" Americans living in poverty then this divisive comment works.

Good luck Bernie. It would be interesting to see the experiment. Wall Street alone would be a hopping place!

Wake me when you find the thousandth lie/misleading statement. TRUMP will still have told way way way way way way way way more.

Arguing degrees of "truthiness" is a losing battle that plays into the hands of the Orange dude. Democrats have to stop trying to be socialist and stop lying with the excuse you feel is fine "well Trump lies more". An honest, non-socialist and stable nominee is so desperately needed in the US right now. If you think that is Bernie - wow, just wow. Carry on with the "we lie, but we lie less" as your moral high ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Dredging up 50 year old statements to discredit a person who has been on the right side of history and the vote, while ignoring the 50 years of statements made by the current administration and their current agenda raises questions. Even the DNC is dredging those up to discredit Sanders again. While the GOP machine amusingly brings up Sanders' trip to Russia in the 80s but ignores the fact their leader is a Russian asset. Cognitive dissonance based on political bias is a wonderous thing Edited February 2, 2020 by Warhippy 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
