Related: About this forumWhy Hillary can't govern
This is a charge that's been levied at Bernie since his campaign gained any measure of significance. I'm curious from Hillary supporters how they see her getting much done with the current situation in congress. A Republican majority in the House. No filibuster proof majority in the Senate. She's going to face the same difficulties Sanders will.
Since her views are apparently as Progressive, if not more so according to her, than Bernies...how will she accomplish anything?

(45,806 posts)at the very LEAST, gain lots of seats in the House. That's not a statement against either candidate, it applies to ANY DEM.
I think, no matter if you are working for Hillary or Bernie, the absolutely one thing we must do is keep pushing that demand for more Dems in congress Along with a Dem. President. IF, by cheating, or some other illegal method, do win the
WH, the ONLY thing that will partially save us is if we can get back control of Congress. At least we'd have the opportunity to obstruct everything the new idiot in chief would want.

(3,687 posts)because republicans will turn out just to vote against her. Hillary will be the issue the Reich needs to get them off the couch.
On the other hand some republicans will actually come across and vote FOR Bernie.

But I digress. I'll stand down and wait for her supporters to answer your excellent question

(4,387 posts)...and they still haven't responded. I guess they're taking their candidates position and not answering it either.
