Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumWill Hillary call out Bernie
For his promise to raise taxes on the middle class? The last Democrat that ran on raising taxes on the middle class was Walter Mondale. He won ONE state. His home state MN. I know she wants to take the high road but I think Bernie is fatally vulnerable on this issue.

(7,014 posts)his Gish Gallop of policy initiatives. I think she could point out that when you add all the programs he proposes, it amounts to more government expenditure than we have ever had as a percentage of GDP and point out that we would have to tax the one percent beyond the 70 percent of the Kennedy Era.
She should explain that we can only pay out of real and soberly projected revenues. Or cut in other areas. We barely got the ARRA passed, and that was in the face of impending fiscal doom. That was barely 1 trillion dollars.

(1,307 posts)The GOP is licking their chops over the prospect of running against Bernie. For get those meaningless polls showing Bernie beating most Republican's in a head to head. When they go after him on his tax increases us Dems will get whiped out. Bernie, wtf does he care, he's going back to Vermont and going back to being an Independent.
