You see here why the shield her from the press. Maybe the lack of trust in her is due to her lawyerly answers to basically anything and everything and the generally negative relationship and experience Americans have had with attorneys.
Bernie's not a socialist. He's a democratic socialist. Matthew's "trying to help" her by spouting BS, then when she doesn't even answer a question, he nods and says he understands why she's being evasive. Rarely see a journalist justify someone dodging a direct question right to the dodger's face.
Let's pretend for a moment the candidates can and will pass what they're trying for. Does that change anything for you?
All of them or just his trade policies? I'm not sure how you can think our current health care solution is better than single payer system but I'd be curious to hear an argument for it.
Not that one. I'd support the single payer, but I firmly believe tat if Hillary could get that she would too so it doesn't apply to your question.
Have you ever explained our opposition to Bernie's trade policies and his attempts to protect us as individuals?
She prattles on and on while telling this woman to "shop around". what an insult to the lady
She wants more non-profits....the same groups who are fleeing the market in droves. Interesting. Better significantly change the approach. "Tweaks" aren't going to get it.
Yeah, I would imagine she has - just not the receiving end.Getzlaf15 said:
I don't think Hillary is lying about this? She's said all along she would like single payer, but that she doesn't think it's practical to try and implement it right now given the fight we just finished over Obamacare. She doesn't think that fight should be refought at the moment. I agree with this too.AnonymousBob said:

I'd think Donald calling Sanders a communist and Sanders calling Donald a pathological liar put an end to this fantasy.
I went to watch a Trump rally and got a Bernie trade ad. People who are tired of the great trade and foreign policy choices that has brought America greatness the last two and a half decades have choices.
This cannot get enough likes.On a lighter note, even though I don't completely agree with the cartoonists POV.
Don't you think the disgust and fear of a possible Trump presidency will make up for a lot of that?
Donald is actually more extreme than Sanders. Sanders just opposes the TPP, Donald is talking about unilaterally violating NAFTA and other trade deals.
Yes, I think on the Dem side there will be a measure of that incentive whether it's Trump or Cruz. But I think to some extent it will be diminished by Clinton fatigue.
I disagree. I don't think a lot of people get yet what the Trump nomination is going to do to the attitudes of this country. But they will.
I expect a candidate with a long-standing record of considering issues to have a position on an issue like fracking.
Hillary has been pro-fracking since her husband engaged in it for years and years.
I certainly don't. A large part of Bernie's base includes first-time voters, college kids, idealists, who are energized by his message...delivered by him, and the act of voting is a commitment to him. I don't have the data in front of me, but I believe it has been pretty well established that voting patterns--indeed, this is true for other psychological/behavioral phenomena--show that people are more likely to activate in support of a position they believe in, as opposed to activate in the direction that blocks an unwanted outcome. Especially when Hillary engenders a lot of disgust and fear amongst a large proportion of that group of voters. A lot of Bernie people will stay home.
That's the best position to take. Fracking is bad news. I forget which thread it was that Tobias and I went back and forth about it a bit, but I didn't find anything to change my point of view that fracking can't end soon enough. The environmental and health detriments are much too great a cost.
