Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton experienced another campaign highlight by delivering a strong, intelligent, and presidential performance at the South Carolina Democratic forum.

Rachel Maddow asked Clinton what she would say to African-American voters who are wondering if their opportunity for meaningful change had passed. Clinton discussed her record and said that President Obama doesn’t get the credit for the great job that he has done. Clinton said that wanted to build on Obama’s success and go further. Hillary Clinton said, “I want to be the president for the struggling, the striving, and the successful.”
..........................


............................

Hillary Clinton looked and sounded like a president during the forum. Her wide range of experience showed as she addressed questions from a federal, state, and even local perspective.

Clinton delivered a strong performance. She was able to speak passionately about issues from criminal justice to the violence in our society. There is no candidate on the Republican side that is as talented as Hillary Clinton. With each national appearance, Clinton is getting stronger.

She is showing exactly why Republicans are so afraid to face her next November. The Republican who will face Clinton next fall is going to begin at a major disadvantage. The difference between 2008 Hillary Clinton and 2016 Hillary Clinton is night and day.

1. Hi river - is there a link? eom

[riversedge]

13. Added. Thanks.

[JaneyVee]

2. Yeah it was good.

K and R!

[olegramps]

44. What impressed me was how the Democratic candidates are clearly more suitable than any Repuk.

They are were well informed and could address the issues with constructive ideas for the well being of the nation. Contrast this to the crap that the Republican candidates spew that borders on the ridiculous. I can only hope that the average working class citizen wakes up and stops voting against their own interest.

[OakCliffDem]

3. All the pomp and grandeur necessary for a coronation

Or we could LISTEN to Bernie Sanders and find the best President for progressives.

[1StrongBlackMan]

33. Interesting statement ...

the best President for progressives.

That explains a great many things.

[hack89]

35. We are looking for the best president for America. Nt

[Dawgs]

54. Ugh!

[Fred Sanders]

4. Clinton reminds me so much of Obama. He must have really influenced her, as he has so many.

She has changed, become more liberal and she seems to feel quite comfortable moving politically to the left...Clinton is a progression and extension and continuation of the remarkable work in remarkable and difficult times of Obama, who still has a yesr to go to help the change along....folks are so fukcing impatient for change...it is coming....patience.

Evolution over revolution is my motto.

[riversedge]

15. And I do think she has learned a lot from Pres Obama...

Esp. when it comes to diplomacy in foreign matters.

[Cha]

61. Yes, Hillary has changed a lot of hearts and minds since 2008. Thank you, Fred.

[leftofcool]

5. She looks and sounds presidential.

[Armstead]

6. For equal time: The same writer said "Bernie shined" at the debate

http://www.politicususa.com/2015/11/06/rachel-maddow-bernie-sanders-democratic-forum.html

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) shined at the South Carolina Democratic forum where he sat down with Rachel Maddow and delivered a stinging criticism of the media.....


...Unlike Martin O’Malley, who came before him at this event, Sanders is not dodging the questions. Sen. Sanders called out the media for begging him to attack Hillary Clinton. Sanders said that unlike Republicans who attack each other in stupid and destructive ways, he and Clinton are having a substantive debate.

......The South Carolina Democratic forum is one of the best events of the year, and Bernie Sanders is shining in this format.

[monmouth4]

7. She came on and I turned it off...n/t

[JaneyVee]

9. Of course. Just like the JJ dinner: a mass exodus of Bernie fans.

[Thinkingabout]

11. They must be afraid she is the right candidate and a grand exit to support Hillary.

[monmouth4]

18. Not at all, I find her boring, plastic and phoney...n/t

[Fred Sanders]

20. You prefer hand waving, shouting and grumpy on only one subject endlessly? No problem! Some do!

[monmouth4]

21. That's all you have? Try harder...n/t

[Fred Sanders]

23. Just trying to respond in kind.

[Thinkingabout]

24. Try harder than boring? That is how I hear from Sanders, speeches requiring shouting.

[riversedge]

16. Closing your mind is not a good sign of a progressive. Just saying.

[monmouth4]

19. My mind is quite open, I've heard her schtick many times before. Nothing new unless someone else

says it first...

[Thinkingabout]

26. Sanders is a good follower, he only had a few issues when he first started running and now he has

added others. Like the Everyready Bunny, keeps repeating the same thing over and over until he realized Clinton was talking about lots of issues.

[AlbertCat]

38. Clinton was talking about lots of issues.

I thought she was listening.

Make up your mind!

[BlueMTexpat]

58. I have now turned YOU off -

at least for me.

[eomer]

8. Be afraid citizens of the world, as well.

Don't run when we bomb your hospital, just sayin'.

[Thinkingabout]

12. Same as when military action is taken by anyone.

[eomer]

17. Yes, war is always a horror.

That's why a hawkish President who sees war as often the answer would be a continuation of the US as a serious threat to lives around the world.

[Thinkingabout]

22. And the hawkish president applies to Sanders who has voted several times for military action and

says he will use military action and drones.

[eomer]

25. Pretty clearly less so, from their records and rhetoric.

And I see at least a chance of Bernie bucking the system, pushing back on it, when he's in a better position to do so. With Hillary I don't see that being a possibility.

[Thinkingabout]

27. He has voted more time for military action than Clinton, so if we are running on records then

he is running on his record. Clinton is running very well with her record.

[eomer]

31. You mean when he voted to support President Bill Clinton's Kosovo War?

Hillary didn't get to cast a public vote at that time, of course, being First Lady and adviser to the President.

What's the count for those times when they both had the opportunity to cast a public vote?

[Thinkingabout]

36. One example, it is his record and he has said he would take military action and use drones.

[eomer]

50. I'm to the left of all the candidates I can choose among, for every position.

I'm definitely to the left of Bernie on the questions of war. But it's very clear to me based on all the available information that Bernie is to the left of Hillary on this and probably everything else. He's closer to my position than she is. (I discount, of course, Hillary's sliding to the left during primary season as I think any reasonable person would.)

[Thinkingabout]

51. And he is far to the right on the gun issue. Are you with him on his stand?

[eomer]

52. He's in favor of reasonable regulations on guns.

Which isn't the "far to the right" position on the issue.

I'm in favor of reasonable regulations too. Details need to be worked out but I think Bernie's got it about right in the proposals I hear him making.

[Thinkingabout]

59. His voting record shows differently, he has danced on this several times, he knows he has voted

against the Brady Bill more than once, yes, he is in the far right group on this issue.

[Fla Dem]

45. His no votes were safe votes that he uses to burnish his creds. nt

[eomer]

49. Senator Sanders giving his reasons for voting against the Iraq War authorization:

Mr. Speaker, in the brief time I have, let me give five reasons why I am opposed to giving the President a blank check to launch a unilateral invasion and occupation of Iraq and why I will vote against this resolution. One, I have not heard any estimates of how many young American men and women might die in such a war or how many tens of thousands of women and children in Iraq might also be killed. As a caring Nation, we should do everything we can to prevent the horrible suffering that a war will cause. War must be the last recourse in international relations, not the first. Second, I am deeply concerned about the precedent that a unilateral invasion of Iraq could establish in terms of international law and the role of the United Nations. If President Bush believes that the U.S. can go to war at any time against any nation, what moral or legal objection could our government raise if another country chose to do the same thing?

Third, the United States is now involved in a very difficult war against international terrorism as we learned tragically on September 11. We are opposed by Osama bin Laden and religious fanatics who are prepared to engage in a kind of warfare that we have never experienced before. I agree with Brent Scowcroft, Republican former National Security Advisor for President George Bush, Sr., who stated, ``An attack on Iraq at this time would seriously jeopardize, if not destroy, the global counterterrorist campaign we have undertaken.''

Fourth, at a time when this country has a $6 trillion national debt and a growing deficit, we should be clear that a war and a long-term American occupation ofIraq could be extremely expensive.

Fifth, I am concerned about the problems of so-called unintended consequences. Who will govern Iraq when Saddam Hussein is removed and what role will the U.S. play in ensuing a civil war that could develop in that country? Will moderate governments in the region who have large Islamic fundamentalist populations be overthrown and replaced by extremists? Will the bloody conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Authority be exacerbated? And these are just a few of the questions that remain unanswered.

[Thinkingabout]

10. She is more qualified than any of the presidential candidates, this makes an easy

Choice for me. She has foreign experience and we live in a global world, she remained calm in eleven hours of Benghazi testimony.
She has been in a position to be in on big decision making. She has issues important to Americans.

[AlbertCat]

39. She is more qualified than any of the presidential candidates,

How so?

http://www.popmodal.com/video/23093/Can-you-name-one-of-Hillary-Clintons-accomplishments

[Thinkingabout]

48. In for the fact the link you provided either does not know what

Accomplishments are it did a very poor job of researching, I am discounting their report. Allow me to redirect your interest to a site which does research and develops a report which doesn't report "failed", hopefully the site is being run by someone who has kept their day job.

[Dawgs]

56. So is Dick Cheney.

And I wouldn't trust either of them.

[Progressive dog]

14. I agree

Hillary was great.

[mcar]

28. K&R

[retrowire]

29. this is reminiscent of the medias obsession with biden

be wary when the media tries picking a favorite for you.

*Biden farts* media: Wow, what a PRESIDENTIAL fart!
*Hillary sneezes* media: that's a PRESIDENTIAL sneeze dontcha think?!

media, please... just report the facts, your opinion is unnecessary.

[riversedge]

47. You need to take your advice--> just report the facts

[cantbeserious]

30. The Worst Candidate For The People That We Could Ever Hope For

eom

[Starry Messenger]

32. K&R

[Cha]

34. That's right.. be very afraid republicons.

Hillary Clinton looked and sounded like a president during the forum. Her wide range of experience showed as she addressed questions from a federal, state, and even local perspective.

Clinton delivered a strong performance. She was able to speak passionately about issues from criminal justice to the violence in our society. There is no candidate on the Republican side that is as talented as Hillary Clinton. With each national appearance, Clinton is getting stronger.

37. The establishment likes Hillary much more than they like Bernie

Hillary, they know, will be very similar to Obama and all his TPP loving, Social Security cutting inclinations.

Bernie on the other hand makes the oligarchs afraid, very afraid.

[AlbertCat]

42. Hillary, they know,

Her popularity rests on name recognition.

[AlbertCat]

40. Sounded like the same ol' same ol'...again.

Does she go last now so she'll know what progressive issues the others are talking about?

[riversedge]

46. Its a conspiracy I tell yah!

[riversedge]

57. They saved the best for last.

[lunamagica]

41. K&R.

[mahannah]

43. Guy in suit talks with "don't trust liberal media" sign holder,

and it goes away.

[randome]

53. Hold on a sec.

What are her thoughts on pyramids?

[EndElectoral]

55. "I want to be the president for the struggling, the striving, and the successful." God..

She speaks in such generalities. What a canned response with lovely alliteration.

And I think the successful will definitely welcome her presidency.

Actually, I prefer a President who challenges the successful to make America a better place for the struggling and the striving.

I just don't see how so many are buffaloed by this kind of non-specific general doublespeak.

[Cha]

60. Hillary was Presidential.
