If I were Bernie...

[SHRED]

...I'd debate her again and bring up Honduras. She supported Reagan-like, Oliver North-like death squads that are killing Progressives and Environmentalists and Leftists as I write this.

And you think they are nasty to us here on the DU?

Blood is being shed by these corporatist fascists.
Stealing land from the natives for capitalism selfish gain.

[jillan]

1. And bring up those damn emails. While he was saying that - she was pointing fingers at him

for the firewall breach.

Bernie's problem is he is a nice guy.

[grasswire]

2. If Bernie campaigned like Obama...

...she would be more weakened than she even is now. Bernie is a gentleman, and it may keep him from the presidency.

[SHRED]

3. Another reason we love him...

...though others can't see it and mock it.

Cowards.

[grasswire]

5. even hard-nosed political pundits were saying today..

....that Bernie has gone very, very easy on Hillary. Mark Halperin made some snarky remarks about how the Hillary campaign HQ get their panties in a bunch when anyone is mildly critical of her. I think he said the words "fainting couch".

Being gentlemanly may cost Bernie the presidency, and I have mixed feelings about the end result. Corruption needs to be rooted out. Truth needs to be pursued, no matter where it leads.

[SHRED]

9. I applaud him for setting the example at his age...

...

He is setting a blueprint. A better way to exist on this spinning globe.
It is the youth who get involved NOW that will hold the keys to the future.
They know so much more now than I did as a rural kid growing up.

4. It makes me want to scream. Evisceration of human lives over and over and over for filthy lucre.

("It's time for the United States to start thinking of Iraq as a business opportunity.&quot And, I believe, the majority of this country couldn't give a rat's ass. It's utterly unbearable. The evil (cold, pragmatic, banal) is colossal.

[BillZBubb]

7. Agreed. The acceptance of this evil by the Hillary fanatics is sickening.

[SHRED]

10. I feel helpless helpless helpless helpless

Just like Neil Young sings it.

[haikugal]

16. When I first moved to PA from CA I was stunned by the helplessness of the populace when it

came to politics. I couldn't understand it. The phrase I kept running up against anytime I tried to find solutions was "you can't fight city hall"....,that's how the powers that be want us to feel. We, myself included, can't let them win. We have to keep fighting.

This has to end!!

This is a good video about Hillary's lies and Honduras...Democracy Now

[Enthusiast]

19. And yet we wonder why there are so many inconsistencies in this US primary election.

[haikugal]

20. I think some of us know what's going on and has been in play all our lives. The difference this

primary is that we see clearly that the party we trusted (to some degree) is not worth our time, our energy, our trust or our money. They are corrupt.

It's good to see you!

[ReasonableToo]

23. and no questions about this in debates. so frustrating! nt

[haikugal]

24. Hang in....he's with us!

[ReasonableToo]

25. I just voted for Bernie this morning AND all the progressives down ticket. nt

[haikugal]

26. Woohoo! I get to vote for him next week! nt

[appalachiablue]

28. That common one about City Hall is disappointing. So is the trite 'The rich get richer

and the poor get poorer" dismissal of any discussion or action on politics. Really gets to me, the apathy and distain, especially from working people who should care and be involved.

[BillZBubb]

6. The Hillbots claim Sanders has run a "dirty" campaign. They doth project too much.

Hillary has, as usual, run a dirty campaign. Sanders, on the other hand, has tons of negative material about Hillary that he has refused to run with.

The Emails, Honduras, Libya, the friggin' FBI!, the Clinton Foundation. etc.

The republicans will have no such qualms about running with this stuff.

[grasswire]

8. it depends on how we define "negative"

I don't see truth as negative. And I see pursuing it as the best disinfectant. Clean it all up. Corruption begone.

[jillan]

12. I find it hilarious. They think Bernie ran a dirty campaign? They want him out of the way.

Just wait until they are running against Trump and have to deal with Trump supporters - ya that will be a blast to see some of them debate with white supremacists.



It's one of those "be careful what you wish for" moments.

They better hurry up and grow a spine.

[Zen Democrat]

27. Yesterday in his speech, Trump was already tagging her "Crooked Hillary"

Yes, the woman has baggage, and I'm not taking about pantsuits.

[slipslidingaway]

11. Clinton agreed to another debate to be held in May ...

Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders agree to four more debates

February 3, 2016: 3:54 PM ET

http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/03/media/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-new-hampshire-debate/

"Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have agreed to add four more debates, including one this Thursday in New Hampshire just days before that state's primary.

The decision expands the total number of Democratic debates from six to ten, and suggests both campaigns are prepared for a drawn-out primary battle that will extend at least until May.


The first additional debate will take place in New Hampshire on Thursday. The campaigns have also agreed to a March debate in Flint, Michigan, and two more debates in April and May. The May debate is likely to take place in California...."

[SHRED]

13. Bernie is a gentleman compared to what I'd bring up

I think he needs to go bare knuckle because the future hopes are wanting to see and hear it.

If this truly is a revolution.

[abelenkpe]

14. I'd like to know

How they'd handle a 2008 style financial meltdown.

[SHRED]

22. That would be a good question

[deepestblue]

15. Bernie

I agree I feel Bernie really does need to take the gloves off now. He somewhat hinted at it a few weeks ago, alluding to how we haven't heard him bring up the emails etc. The future of the world is at stake here.

[VulgarPoet]

17. Bring out the fighting trousers,

it's time to leave them verbally bloodied, mentally bruised, and altogether completely humiliated.

[flamingdem]

18. Honduras was hideous

and Hillary was to blame. However it happened under Obama's watch. Thus, it will be swept under the rug for the most part.

What it revealed is that Hillary has ties to the worst of the right wing. The fact finding group that went to Honduras after the coup included a disgusting crew of right wingers in congress. Sadly, these are also Debbie Wasserman Schultz friends too such as Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, follow the money.

[SHRED]

21. Just like Libya

She rolled Obama under the bus.
Which afterall is his decision however using him to minimize her roll is chickenshit.

[Major Hogwash]

29. Bernie doesn't need to.

He needs to keep doing what he is doing now and just take it to the convention.
Because he is the better candidate.

[SHRED]

30. Sounds like a better plan.
