Hillary Clinton Admits Bernie Sanders Has More Experience on Face the Nation

[UglyGreed]

wait I thought he did not have enough experience.....

[mgmaggiemg]

1. not the same foreign policy experience

he's got plenty of domestic experience...about the same as hers really....it's just a stupid question from a stupid journalist....they are both career politicians.....next...journalist needs to ask more intelligent questions...

[UglyGreed]

2. I guess stupid is as stupid does

[demwing]

7. Nope. Being a career politicain does not make you a part of the establishment.

Spending your career in pursuit of the establishment's goals makes you a part of the establishment.

9. So being consistently wrong on Foreign Policy counts as a positive. How exactly?

[UglyGreed]

10. Sad but maybe if you

have stock in Halliburton or other types of investments....

3. She's tripping up over her lies and distortions.

That's what happens when you decide to lie about things.

That is, she's obviously implying that Sanders is more Establishment than she is in light of his longer tenure as an elected official.

Yet, she wants us to believe that he's a kooky hippie with crazy ideas.

On a side note, you can really see the panic in her eyes - she doesn't look confident, she looks scared, and we can't afford a mousy president.

4. A bit off topic

but I tell my children it is just easier to tell the truth because it is very hard to keep the details straight when things are made up and lies are told. They have learned over the years that even if it takes me some time I will always find the truth.

5. Her point was that Bernie was accusing her of being part of the establishment at the exclusion of

himself. She was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of that statement, with his having been an elected member of Congress for 25 years. That would make him as much a part of the establishment as her. Bernie has a funny way of trying to DEFINE terms that suit his purpose. Just like he chose to give that convoluted definition of what a "DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST" was at that first Town Hall Debate that they had. There are in this country people who belong to a Democratic Socialist party and Bernie doesn't get to redefine what a Democratic Socialist is to suit himself.

Here's Bernie's response at the DNC Town Hall Meeting when asked how he defined "Democratic Socialist" to clear up the confusion.

QUESTION: Yes, Senator, some of your detractors have called you a socialist on occasions, and you don't seem too troubled by that, and sometimes embrace it. I wondered if you could elaborate on that...

SANDERS: ... Sure...

QUESTION: ... And just to show us what the comfort level you have your definition of it so that it doesn't concern the rest of us citizens.

SANDERS: Well, what Democratic Socialism means, to me, is that economic rights, the right to economic security is - should exist in the United States of America. It means to me that there's something wrong when we have millions of senior citizens today trying to get by on $11, $12,000 a year Social Security. It means there's something wrong when the rich get richer, and almost everybody else gets poorer. It means there is something wrong, and government should play a role in making sure that all of our kids, regardless of their income, are able to get a higher education.
Which is why I'm calling for free tuition at public colleges and universities, and why we have to deal with this horrendous level of student debt that people are having.

Now, what's going on in countries around the world, in Scandinavia, and in Germany. The ideas that I am talking about are not radical ideas. So, what Democratic Socialism means to me in its essence is that we cannot continue to have a government dominated by the billionaire class, and a congress that continues to work for the interest of the people on top while ignoring working families.

What this campaign is about, and what I believe, is creating a government that works for all of us, not just a handful of people on the top. That's my definition of Democratic Socialism.
