But his one liners are on par with Trump.

Literally, Hillary is the smartest candidate by far.

As we see big money is being raised and Sanders is bragging on the money he is raising, history tells us some politicians are swayed by donations.

We need a functional president, Hillary is very capable, she is not a one issue candidate, she is the most qualified candidate running.

about the various ways of watching the "one issue issue" be exploited, rolled out, and regurgitated with the hope it will sink in and diminish Mr. Sander's importance. It actually makes me sad to see the claws that are sunk into that contrived supposed flaw which is not in the least true.

I think that if a candidate were solidly behind opposing Citizen's United, he would in all probability also be on the side on how I feel about many issues, so that would be an asset, not a way to oppose or minimize the opinion. And he/she would be opposing one of the most critical reasons our country has fallen into the depths of the sewer now presented to us in the Republican bought for candidates. They are being bested by the one who is paying for his own campaign, and shows us the people in general do not like the fact that "corporations are people" and all it entails. Other than Climate Change - and Isis - those are our most pressing problems before we can proceed to some of the others. All of those are high on the list Mr. Sanders is wanting to address, once he can motivate the people to revolt and help him do it.

So, it sank in on my pond, and these are the bubbles of my reaction.

think on her feet about all the issues that affect our Country. Foreign Policy, African American Issues, GLBT, Women's Issues, Sensible Gun Laws.. Ect..

And, she doesn't bash President Obama or didn't want him to Primaried in 2012.. our beloved Democratic President .

She respects our President and wants to build on Obama's legacy.

A one issue candidate should be exposed for his narrow mindedness.

6. Clinton: ‘I have a bunch of litmus tests’ for Supreme Court nominees

Clinton said her potential appointments would have to support the Voting Rights Act, parts of which were invalidated by the current group of justices.

She also said potential nominees would have to believe that money does not equal speech, which led to the landmark Citizens United decision that paved the way for super-PACs.

“I’m looking for people who understand the way the real world works,” Clinton said. “Who don’t have a knee-jerk reaction to support business, to support the idea that you know, money is speech, that gutted the Voting Rights Act.”

And she said a potential nominee would have to be committed to ending discrimination against the gay community and preserving a women's right to abortion.

“We have to preserve marriage equality,” Clinton said. “We have to go further to end discrimination against the LGBT community, we’ve got to make sure to preserve Roe V. Wade, not let it be nibbled away or repealed.”

Yet another reason that Sanders isn't ready for primetime, and at this point in his career, he will never get there. And this is yet another reason why level-headed people will support Hillary Clinton for president. She's not a one-issue candidate.
