Hillary Clinton

(10,437 posts)it hampers getting really ANYTHING done and why there is NO significant piece of legislation that Bernie was sole author of in all the years he has been in congress....he has been "co-sponsored: of others and has had some amendments passed...but the "my way or the highway" attitude is as pervasive in sanders (and his supporters) just as much as it is in most conservatives....
this attitude may work in dictatorships but pretty much fails in democracies where compromise and negotiations to get stuff done is THE key.....
not saying that bernie's ideas as bad....but if you aren't willing to compromise some....NOTHING would be accomplished. Even with Obama's willingness to compromise, conservatives pretty much obstructed everything they could (and still do)....bernie would accomplish NOTHING when faced with same opposition...at least obama got some stuff done....and why I see Hillary as the BEST person to be able to continue on the path that will benefit America
