Obama came in and changed the course, not nearly as much as I had hoped, but I understand the hurdles he faced. ESPECIALLY RW CORPORATE OWNED Democrats. There were always two or three Senators limiting the dialogue/progress and the mainstream media willing to support the Republican agenda AND have a few Democrats to point to as opposition.
Bernie came in with his balls to the wall approach, not holding back, speaking truth from the heart. And it caught on!!!!
So now we have tens if not hundreds of Democratic elected officials staging a sit in and streaming video. Bypassing the Republicans along with the MSM. Hillary will not be able to govern like her husband did. A term of triangulation will not suffice, people are pissed and want action.

(8,419 posts)Lewis is doing a great job. The point is the Bill Clinton methods of governing will not translate 20 years later. You couldn't make money in radio in 1965 playing Glenn Miller, point being, this shift is huge.

(25,495 posts)You're at least the fourth or fifth person today to play the "Bill's policies won't work 20 years later" card.
Did you all read the same article or something?

(6,716 posts)she should be judged by her own merits when she gets into office. Bill's way was his, it doesn't mean it's hers.

(53,866 posts)I'm not sure why you are crediting Bernie with this.
And yes, I think we all understand that 2016 is not 1995.

(53,866 posts)Although, I credit John Lewis with this. Neither Hillary nor Bernie are leading this.
Lucinda
(31,170 posts)are leading the charge here. I'm so glad to see Dems in both chambers supporting this. Warren has been involved supporting them most of the day.

(62,277 posts)Clinton met with House Democrats a day or two ago.
edit: I mean it's more likely that this was planned.

(8,419 posts)Representative Clark came up with the idea and presented it to John Lewis. So Lewis and Clark. If Hillary was part of it, hats off to her.

(62,277 posts)But she was almost certainly given the heads up.

(1,495 posts)And 90% of voters support more gun control, we should see around 300 democrats in the house.
There is no way that will happen. I wonder why?
