Candidate A makes headlines when she is finally asked a half dozen questions by the press.
Candidate B pops a thread open in /r/AMA on reddit, cracks his knuckles and starts answering questions. I claim poetic license, he likely had a typist in reality. Policy issues and proposals discussed off the cuff and at length.
So which one is the president we need?

OBTW, I saw the twitter feed on that but not anything that's easy to follow, like question and answer, one set after another.
Any links would really reduce my search time!
That's real specific 
And she has been very specific about what it needs to include for her to support it. With Bernie - he just says he is against it.
That's one of the reasons I would prefer her. That, and his supporters are a real turn off to me. Ugh. 
Where is the specifics in that sentence she said other than in your mind? 
If you find us so disgusting you should hide thread using the key word Bernie Sanders.
And by that I mean, Have a nice evening.
How cool is that? 
Great OP by the way
Very specific indeed!
you say you do but do you?
Bernie Sanders is telling it like it is and yes he has answers if you'd get off your duff and read what he has to say rather than the shit you've been posting here lately. One hit piece after the other is all I see you're doing, no substance in any of it. If there is please kindly point me towards it so I can see for myself. Who knows I might even change my mind
It's not as dishy as reality television, but still very entertaining.
I was looking through transcripts of his recent TV appearances to see how honest his pledge not to go negative on other Democrats is and I could frankly find no evidence of it. With respect to TPP he rips Barack for being an out-of-touch elitist who fell in with the CEO crowd after hoodwinking voters in 20008. And he doesn't hold back when discussing the Clinton Cash "issue" or the IWR "issue." I didn't want to get negative in the other thread about his pledge not to say that crap but basically he's said it every interview since he announced, and there have been quite a few. I gave up after about the 4th transcript but from what I read the stuff he says now is not much different than the stuff he used to say on Pacifica before he was a candidate and could be reliably counted on to rip up Bill or Barack over their latest sky-is-falling betrayal. If he really plans to run as a Democrat he hasn't gotten off to a very good start. JMHO of course!
but he better not lie about anything.
There's disagreeing and then there's nasty negative shite.. he better watch it.
"According to the latest CNN/ORC poll, the Obama resurgence is being fueled by the growing economy. Fifty-two percent of respondents called the U.S. economy very or somewhat good while 48% said the economy was very or somewhat poor. The President’s approval rating has increased with 18-29-year-olds (57%), women (51%), Democrats (88%), and liberal Democrats (97%).

Many supporters of the President will view his increasing approval numbers as Obama finally getting credit for the economic turnaround after pulling the country back from the brink of a potential depression when he took office, but these numbers could foreshadow a Democratic strong point in 2016. If the economy keeps growing, Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, will be able to run on maintaining and expanding the Obama economy.

Which is what I've suspected all along is going on with this TPP stunt, but then I have a suspicious mind.
The only objection I have to this thread is the knee jerk slap at another candidate. Why make the division? I'm more affected by good statements with the real words a candidate than spin.
All I want to hear is more data about the candidate to be able to talk to people I know IRL to get them to listen to Sander's ideas. I'm making the case to my liberal HRC friends, but I will NOT say one bad thing about her and I mean that, not EVER!
Because she has been a stalwart in the issues they most care about, that affect their lives. That would be like disrespecting their entire lives. I don't do that.
Let the facts and basic truths rule since negativity doesn't work anywhere IRL except among small minded people who are looking for a reason to trash someone. I don't give such time there, so why bother here, with those who may not have ever supported the DNC platform of Equality for All, which it is?
So this is our only disagreement, you have made some awesome posts recently that I appreciate a great deal.
But any sign of spin and insults, I never go for at DU, it speaks more to the character of those dissing than the candidate. We have at least 2 great ones who we can all be proud of, and then convince each other who is best, and not by insults. They are not at that low down level, are they would not worthy of votes.
That's not going to work IRL, either. AND I am NOT talking about you. Those online who really get off to that kind of stuff (there were a couple on Reddit who tried that gambit) can enjoy it for what it is if it gives them, an immediate superior feeling.
They have their reward already, they are not going online to political message boards to change minds for their alleged candidate, they are there for their own egos. Meh.
But I have to admit I'm extremely suspicious of his motives, or those of his promoters. I saw what happened in 2000 and 2004 and it made be jaded I guess. I'd like to like Bernie and I'll keep looking for something to change my mind, that I can promise!
And frankly your views count for a lot in my book so I'll make a real effort to sort through my various Bernie impressions and figure out if I missed a signal somewhere. Being in California I don't have regular contact with him and most of what I know has come from reading Nation articles and the like back before the internet. And of course his Pacifica appearances. I'll give him credit for one thing and that's not changing a lot in 23 years. I hope you're right about Bernie but I know you're absolutely right about spreading negativity and I'll redouble my efforts to keep it in check, as I do like to rip into pols that annoy me. Guess that's why me and DU are such a good fit LOL!

If only your father had been born in Mexico, you'd be president now.
How dare she exceed her place. Swoosh. The sound of privilege washing away, and all the right-wing angst just flows to the surface. Oh, but it's all about policy. Of course, discussing policy would require the ability to see Clinton as an independent human being rather than a lesser extension of her husband.
Support the pro drug war, pro NSA, pro Iraq War candidate or you're a misogynist pig.
No. I did not. I responded quite particularly to what he wrote, which was all about her gender.
He gave the same kind of crap that the right gives about Obama, that people voted for him only because he was black. He decided to make it all about her gender and her marriage.
Your response is entirely disingenuous and no way addresses what I said. "Pro-drug war, pro-NSA." Care to provide any support for that? I won't hold my breath.
You already voted for a pro-war candidate in 2004. If you didn't vote for Kerry, who likewise voted for the war, you voted for Bush. So I'm not really interested in your pretensions of moral superiority, particularly when you deliberately distort my comments. And I'm guessing you voted twice for a pro-drug war, pro-NSA president with no qualms whatsoever, and a number of senators as well. Yet suddenly it matters. Right. Firstly, I don't give even the slightest shit who you or anyone else votes for, but when I see bullshit I will call it out.
Reddit, the home of MRAs, pro-rape groups, and every other hate group out there?
Whereas Clinton is actually listening to voters. What kind of candidate actually listens?
But Reddit. That's what qualifies someone to be president. 
... In the primary I'll take candidate A. In the general I'll take whichever one wins the primary. As far as Clinton supporters go, how many here didn't already know the answer to that question?
if Bernie reads DU l"d venture a guess that this is his reaction to much of the support he receives.
A candidates own words should be the cornerstone of the support he/she receives.
