Hillary about Obama in the 2008 primary: He (Obama) is no different than me.
She said this in an unscripted debate moment when she was voicing her frustration over progressives backing Obama.
And we came to find out he wasn't (except he is not a big war hawk like Clinton). Thus, it was easy for them to agree on issues and how the system would operate.
Bernie and Hillary, there is a GREAT divide both on the issues and on how our government should function.
The 93% vote comparison is meaningless. On huge issues such as trade, fracking, keystone, and healthcare as a right there is a HUGE divide. In addition, Bernie's priority is the people.
A platform: Just mere words on the paper if you can't trust the nominee.
