RiotWomenn ??@RiotWomennn
Bernie's signature promise & he hasn't thought about how he would achieve the thing promised. That would bother me

Hillary didn't say BS is Quote-Unquote not qualified to be president.. she said he doesn't have a plan in some important areas and hasn't done his homework.. which if you listen to his NYDN interview it is more than evident that is true blue.

That's what, 15 years or more?

What exactly did he do with his time during all those years? He shoulda brushed up on his bank busting, read up on Al Capone, or Bonnie and Clyde maybe.

Studying during all those might have made him more qualified to speak on these issues

The way he always deflected when asked about it was a red flag.. I just want to know what the hell he was thinking when he went into that interview @ the NYDN to secure their endorsement?!

As Chris Hayes tweeted..

One thing that's become clear in this campaign is that Sanders is really bad at bullshitting.

http://theobamadiary.com/2016/04/06/chat-away-806/

He didn't mean it as a compliment.. actually he wasn't bad until he got busted.

We hear crickets about this.
The Amber Alert has saved innocent lives, and the tougher punishments for sex offenders is a must. We MUST protect the innocent--they depend on us. Sanders seems to lack empathy and compassion. Everything is black and white to him, especially from his white male privilege perspective.

likes to be seen as a "maverick" and loves headlines and attention. Doesn't take well to being questioned on specifics.

I am no admirer of McCain and still consider him anathema for his choice of running mate among many, many other things, such as his politics in general. But he at least put his life on the line for his country while Bernie was living more or less off the grid in VT.

colleagues. He probably sits in all those meetings and says "It's something I have not studied." He has no interest in going into depth on anything. Just a bunch of bumper sticker ideas.

I admit I didn't have it myself. But then again, I didn't tun around for 1 year demanding this be done

Furthermore, once such a determination is made by the Secretary of Treasury, the actual authority to oversee and implement the liquidation and asset distribution belongs not to the Treasury department but to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, an independent agency of the federal government.

The other part is that Sen. Sanders has no idea whether the administrative process will be enough or if new legislation will be required to implement his vision of breaking up the banks. As even Eavis' generally pro-Sanders commentary points out, asked to describe how he'd do it, Sanders seemed to believe either new legislation or existing Dodd-Frank authority could be used to do it. He seemed to have felt that the legislation he introduced in this regard is optional.

Like many "revolutionaries", they talk a good game, but don't have the plan to back it up.

He's introduced 362 bills in his career and 2 were enacted, the naming of two post offices in Vt. Another was a resolution to collect clothing, toys, food, and housewares during the holiday season for charitable purposes in Senate buildings. Agreed To (Simple Resolution): Nov 18, 2014.

All grand gestures with no results.
