K & R Thinkingabout Oct 2015 #1
Thanks, Thiningabout. After reading so many posts on how Hillary Clinton is "taking his words out of BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #9
Hillary needs to make up her mind. JDPriestly Oct 2015 #66
Oh, believe me, Hillary Clinton's thicker than any other candidate's running. BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #80
Did someone just suggest Hillary can't play hardball? DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #87
Sadly, many times over in this thread. BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #88
Sanders is right. JDPriestly Oct 2015 #89
Love Bernie, but he IS NOT right on this. lark Oct 2015 #104
Do you have a link to a statement by Bernie supporting the gun-show loophole? JDPriestly Oct 2015 #110
Yes, I heard that as well. lark Oct 2015 #112
What the hell? Kentonio Oct 2015 #101
She wasn't the only one shouting RobertEarl Oct 2015 #2
"Gun grabbers"? You ok? JaneyVee Oct 2015 #6
Gun grabber?? What a curious accusation there, RE. eom BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #10
Did you just have a contest with yourself to see how many times.... Agschmid Oct 2015 #26
"What else do they have?" 72DejaVu Oct 2015 #36
Shouting about polls? Yes, they have that, too. RobertEarl Oct 2015 #45
You're right 72DejaVu Oct 2015 #59
That's all she has RobertEarl Oct 2015 #61
Oh, she has more than that, but that's pretty darn decent already. BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #83
What the hell? lark Oct 2015 #105
This is crybaby level nonsense AgingAmerican Oct 2015 #3
Elections are popularity contests, first and foremost. You're a Sanders supporter so I understand BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #12
This whole 'issue' is no more than drama AgingAmerican Oct 2015 #16
Welcome to the world of American politics, AA. eom BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #18
So you admit it's no more than drama AgingAmerican Oct 2015 #24
Nope. eom BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #75
Or devastating to hers. dogman Oct 2015 #28
Or devastating to hers. But I wouldn't hold my breath. eom BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #76
Did she shout? Sounded to me like she did tularetom Oct 2015 #30
Because they know this ginormous lead is smoke and mirrors.. frylock Oct 2015 #98
What does his campaign do instead that very night Hillary said that? boston bean Oct 2015 #4
I don't understand that, either. A simple apology, like the one in my OP, would have BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #15
"Bernie doesn't move" 72DejaVu Oct 2015 #37
He can if he chooses to. eom BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #85
Like .. "Hillary would make a great vice president". and "let them get over by a Cha Oct 2015 #95
I just find all of this posturing to be hypocritical. What I am used to enduring in political speech Bluenorthwest Oct 2015 #5
Well, what is your fix for this. boston bean Oct 2015 #7
I'm quoting the OP. The Bible speaks negatively about homosexuality and about women speaking Bluenorthwest Oct 2015 #20
what?? boston bean Oct 2015 #34
"unthinkable" Autumn Oct 2015 #8
I'm a longtime Hillary supporter, though currently undecided. cwydro Oct 2015 #11
I am, too, and I don't believe he meant it the way it came across. BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #13
But why should he apologize for something he didn't do? cwydro Oct 2015 #14
Optics. Since he refuses to apologize, he's basically affirming Hillary's charge. BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #17
I see your point. cwydro Oct 2015 #19
So he should apologize because Hillary made a false charge? Autumn Oct 2015 #23
I agree with this. cwydro Oct 2015 #31
Bernie defended her against the media and their email crap, in the same way, same tone he said Autumn Oct 2015 #39
Past actions show that she ISN'T better than this. frylock Oct 2015 #99
It wasn't her responsibility to comb through his previous statements Rose Siding Oct 2015 #38
No, she made a useful conclusion about his remark in the moment. n/t Autumn Oct 2015 #40
It wasn't in the moment. It was days later JimDandy Oct 2015 #93
No combing necessary. He said the same thing to O'Malley a couple minutes later. Jim Lane Oct 2015 #97
Nevermind that the "moment" was several days after the debate.. frylock Oct 2015 #100
He bumbled. He misspoke. He made a politically BAD mistake. BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #77
No he did not. He clearly was speaking about the shouting between the GC factions. Autumn Oct 2015 #84
Optics are very important in campaigns-so very very important. riversedge Oct 2015 #54
You bet, riversedge. BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #82
Yeah I watched the debate and I didn't take it that way at all.. Volaris Oct 2015 #25
I agree. bravenak Oct 2015 #21
Watch jkbRN Oct 2015 #22
When/where did Hartmann say this? TheProgressive Oct 2015 #27
He didn't. My OP was addressed to him since he admitted in his video that he visits DU BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #32
Mr. Hartmann willvotesdem Oct 2015 #29
Hillary would still claim she's the victim Politicalboi Oct 2015 #33
No. She wouldn't. BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #86
Everyone has been shouting about guns. How was this interpreted as just Hillary anyway? Vinca Oct 2015 #35
Calling out sexism is just the opposite of playing the victim. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #43
Oh, baloney. It wasn't sexism. Vinca Oct 2015 #47
Calling out sexist language is not a sign you are a "weakling." SunSeeker Oct 2015 #49
I'd better not continue this conversation. Vinca Oct 2015 #67
Also, not everyone has been "shouting" about guns. The bullies are on the NRA side. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #44
To be clear RobertEarl Oct 2015 #46
The gun control proponents have not been "shouting." That is an unfair put down. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #48
They initially bundled UBCs with an AWB and registration hack89 Oct 2015 #50
The right wing and NRA showed ridiculous outrage over a reasonable package of regulations. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #52
Gun bans and registration are not "reasonable" to a majority of Americans. hack89 Oct 2015 #53
What "gun ban" are you talking about? SunSeeker Oct 2015 #56
What do you think the "B" in AWB stands for? hack89 Oct 2015 #58
Those are not "guns," assault weapons are military equipment. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #60
They are semiautomatic centerfire rifles - the most popular rifles in America for 25 years. hack89 Oct 2015 #63
Yes, assault rifles are the dream weapon for today's wannabe mass killer. nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #69
No - handguns are. Have you forgotten Va Tech? hack89 Oct 2015 #71
No, did you forget Aurora, Sandy Hook, the McDonald's massacre... SunSeeker Oct 2015 #72
CT had registration and an AWB. hack89 Oct 2015 #73
It isn't a put down RobertEarl Oct 2015 #51
"Gun grabbing stance"? She is not talking about confiscating guns. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #55
See my OP in gdp RobertEarl Oct 2015 #57
It's called courage and leadership. SunSeeker Oct 2015 #62
Wait just a second RobertEarl Oct 2015 #64
Sanders supports an assault weapons ban. Do you think that makes him a "gun grabber"? nt SunSeeker Oct 2015 #65
No. Do you? RobertEarl Oct 2015 #68
No. Yet you call Hillary a gun grabber for supporting an assault weapons ban. Why? SunSeeker Oct 2015 #70
Why is this so hard to understand? mcar Oct 2015 #41
K & R SunSeeker Oct 2015 #42
You should really change the subject line Flying Squirrel Oct 2015 #74
You should edit for clarity portlander23 Oct 2015 #78
HRC DOES shout a lot and its very unnerving and doesn't serve her well. Peregrine Took Oct 2015 #79
OK, so seriously portlander23 Oct 2015 #81
"strident" and "crabby"... nice Bucky Oct 2015 #92
I don't think Bernie is sexist rbrnmw Oct 2015 #90
I find your statement offensive to me as a man JonLeibowitz Oct 2015 #91
"As Senator from a rural State, what I can tell Secretary Clinton, "that all the shouting in the Cha Oct 2015 #94
Oh, please this is beyond trumped up ridiculous. merrily Oct 2015 #96
And this is no reason to support Hillary instead of Bernie. At all. n/t djean111 Oct 2015 #102
More like the opposite. merrily Oct 2015 #106
Yup. A person that thin-skinned, as the president? That is frightening, actually. djean111 Oct 2015 #108
She doesn't really need excuses to start wars, anyway, at least, not in the Middle East. merrily Oct 2015 #109
Really? In a debate he is not supposed to name the person he's addressing? Cleita Oct 2015 #103
She needs to develop a thicker skin AgingAmerican Oct 2015 #107
Sanders blew it and didn't apologize. anyone who saw Benghazi knows she has a thick skin. Cha Oct 2015 #111
