Surprise! Hillary Clinton Is Farther Left Than Senator Bernie Sanders-HRC ROOM

HILLARY CLINTON ROOM.

Rmuse

One of the benefits of the already tiring 2016 presidential election season is watching prospective nominees stake out positions that are getting more extreme with each passing day. On the Democratic side, it has been interesting observing Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders pull Hillary Rodham Clinton farther to the left. Really, there is little to Bernie Sanders’ positions to oppose for liberals and progressives, but on Sunday he revealed that there is one area that he is to the right of the former Secretary of State and Senator from New York, Hillary Clinton.

It is indisputable that Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is obviously not any kind of conservative, or a Republican, but on Sunday he parroted something right out of the NRA fanatic wing of the Republican ranks. In fact, if someone had never heard Senator Sanders speak, or follow his decidedly left-leaning votes in the Senate, they might think he memorized a wildly popular NRA statement, verbatim, to respond to calls for sane gun laws following a mass shooting making the headlines a couple times every year. On a CNN Sunday political program, host Jake Tapper asked the Vermont Senator about his support and vote for the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). The PLCAA is the law that protects gun and ammunition sellers from liability when they sell weapons that are used to kill human beings.

2. funny how....

...things are just not right, even appalling............until they aren't. If this wasn't the HRC room, I'm sure some of Bernies supporters would explain how that works.

3. Lol.

4. The special civil carve out giving legal protection to gun factories is an abomination. Bernie needs to

stop his support for this abomination of law...let the gun factories face the majesty of the law without their legal baby blankee!

I understand why he is doing this...Vermot rural voters...but if one is a man of principle, then one has to stand on those principles even when the ground starts to shake.

Stand your ground against the NRA, Mr. Sanders.

5. He has to remember that he's running for President of ALL of the United States.

His NRA / gun stance isn't going to fly in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, etc....., California, Oregon, Washington.

6. Like the Confederate flag once flew over some states? And are no more.....

The times they are a'changin....the time has come for 320 million guns also.

7. Wth, bernie? "Now, the idea of a hammer as a deadly mass murder weapon on par with a gun argument is

a favorite of the NRA, 2nd Amendment crowd; frankly it was surprising to hear it coming from Senator Sanders; frankly it was surprising to hear it coming from Senator Sanders. It is also an intellectually dishonest analogy. There have been no mass murders with a hammer like those at Sandy Hook, Aurora, Columbine, West Virginia Tech, or Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church ever. It is a pathetic argument to even pretend that a hammer is like a gun, and Senator Sanders is certainly better than the NRA gun fanatic crowd.


Bernie Bernie Bernie.. better get some new material than stale ol NRA talking points.

Thanks Justin.. good analysis from Rmuse.
