    1) Corporations have little to no interest in a person like that so they give alot of money to those opposing him
    2) Religious people have little to no interest in a person like that so they not trying to hear him
    3) See 1 and 2

    Sadly this is true. She is the more liberal face of the corporate elite who never gave a crap about god, gun, gays, abortion etc.

    That being said, Obamacare for instance can be literally the difference between life and death for the portion of the uninsured it covered.

    5 minute video archive/ recorded past statements of Hillary vs Bernie's positions on TTP, gay marriage, Keystone, Iraq etc.

    Consistency and voting correctly (Bermnie) vs constantly shifting positions according to what is momentarily popular (Hillary).

    Professional politician and professional coattail rider is a pathetic legacy. Not an example for any of my daughters. A professional snake more like it.

    Being reminded that corporations and religious people are the people who least like Bernie convinced me to send him more money.

    From the article:
    Foreign policy plays to Hillary's strength and not Bernie's. His aide was pushing to wrest that away from her.

    Well I would say it was a about half domestic and half foreign policy.. Sanders did well and Hillary did ok but not as well as the first debate. She looks plucky but not very believable wrt to taking lots of money from Wall Street but claiming not to be overly influenced by them. Hillary did her best to try to talk like she basically agrees with Sanders, with limited credibility.


    I guess ultimately it comes down on whether voters want the status quo with Hillary or actual change which Sanders has credibility on.

    On the ground it comes down to Hillary's paid staff versus the much bigger number of mainly younger volunteers for Sanders.

    He still believes climate change is the greatest national security threat.

    He has some good ideas but are not practical at the current time. I do not think he can win in the general election.

    Bush or Rubio better win, or we could be in some serious trouble. If Trump or Carson wins, everyone better back HC.

    No, not a superlative like that. But in July, the Pentagon called climate change an "urgent and growing threat" to national security, FWIW. Deniers still called them brainwashed idiots and needles were not moved.

    Never will be.

    The onus is on those who made the claim. I'm not going to search any other articles to see if y'all's statement can be verified.
