Hillary Clinton is going to be President of a much different Country

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.

3. Not meant to be disparaging of Clinton

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.

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?

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.

I'm not sure why you are crediting Bernie with this.

And yes, I think we all understand that 2016 is not 1995.

that it is time for a change in gun laws. I'm sure her doing so well in the primaries while taking a firm stance encourages them all.

10. Yup. If anything Hillary has been talking nonstop about gun control

Although, I credit John Lewis with this. Neither Hillary nor Bernie are leading this.

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.

13. Um, this was planned and triangulated from the start.

Clinton met with House Democrats a day or two ago.

edit: I mean it's more likely that this was planned.

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.

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?
