I'm sure Hillary remembers how we had to shade our eyes from the rockets' red glare, and the bombs bursting in air as we swam towards the Nina. We couldn't even slow down for the little mermaid (I believe her name was Ariel) to present Hillary with her bouquet of sea amenities. I hear her father, the sea king, was furious at her for risking her life for a politician, but the kid's a feminist dontcha know.

The only issue I heard from her is breaking down the walls that Trump built.

Which is just double talk for I am better than the other guy.

His views all seem to lead to and from economic justice. There's nothing wrong with that.

There is a strong correlation between economic justice and social justice.

That's what you see on the front page of his campaign website.

If you click on "Issues" the item at the top of the list is:

"Income and Wealth Inequality"

I think it is fair to say that addressing income inequality is his number one issue.

I have heard him consistently focus on income inequality, so I am surprised that would not have been his answer.

Can you tell me which debate that was from? I'd be curious to hear exactly what he said.

You're taking one public utterance and claiming it is the single most important thing Sanders has produced.

That doesn't even make it to bar bet level of craftiness. It's just a looser grasping at straws.

He's a one-solution candidate.

He thinks that every issue can be overcome by addressing income inequality.

of issues packed into that speech.

He includes everyone and all the major issues. What was that single issue she whined about all the time? Her speaking fees and lack of transcript? What was she talking about?

Which of his hundred issues obsessed her so?

That income inequality speech because he has been giving it for about 50 years.
As an older person I get that very well. We know what we know, backward and forward, can say it in our sleep.

And I understand that he wants change NOW, asap , time is running out.

Practically speaking, it has to come by working with others, getting them on the same page, moving along with the help of people who don't agree on alot of it ( thinking of House and Senate).

This is where Hillary excels. She knows how to get things done, how to help get control by supporting downballot Democrats.

I wish change could be fast . I have been waiting for racial and gender and LBGT equality for a long time. We aren't there yet in this country. People resist change at every turn.
I do not agree with Sanders that all that is needed to solve these problems is to eliminate income inequality.
