Hillary Clinton serves notice to Bernie Sanders: No more truce
Amber Phillips
Washington Post

Here's a running list of Hillary Clinton's jabs at Sanders so far:

"I'm a progressive," she replied. "But I'm a progressive who likes to get things done."

Clinton had a pithy response: "We are not in Denmark."

"I voted against it. It wasn't that complicated to me," she said. "It was pretty straightforward to me that he was going to give immunity to the only industry in America. Everyone else has to be accountable, but not the gun industry."

Clinton has come under scrutiny from her time as a senator in New York for being too cozy to Wall Street, so she had a lot to prove in her answer to Cooper. Which is one reason why she said:

"Well, my plan is more comprehensive. And frankly, it's tougher."

1. And he bailed her out on the emails.

[One Man Stands Alone]

2. Which made him look at his best

and that was the best response, because he wanted to focus on the issues, which is what Americans wanted, not a circus show.

[AtomicKitten]

3. He really does want a substantive discussion.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

5. The boldest and shrewdest act in the entire debate. Thanks for playin'! nt

[AtomicKitten]

7. That was some serious jujitsu.

4. I loved Hillary's Denmark remark. She stood up for the USA and the audiance loved it.

[Fearless]

6. I paraphrase George Bernard Shaw...

Patriotism is the idea that your country is better than all others simply because you were born in it.

IMHO it's also started more wars and killed more people than I'd like to remember.

[beam me up scottie]

13. Well said!

[uponit7771]

22. +1

[Avalux]

9. Did you also love it when Hillary named Iranians as her enemies?

That made me cringe - completely wrong.

[delrem]

15. Is why Hillary scares me.

In fact, for that reason Hillary scares me as much as any declared candidate, Democratic or Republican.

I think she's crazy for war.

[portlander23]

19. Clinton: ... the health insurance companies, the drug companies, the Iranians

Clinton: ... the health insurance companies, the drug companies, the Iranians

CLINTON: Well, in addition to the NRA, the health insurance companies, the drug companies, the Iranians.

(LAUGHTER)

[delrem]

20. The awful thing is, she was reading off a short list.

There was no thought in it.
It was all bullshit.

But when she gets in power...

[reformist2]

10. The audience doesn't really care either way about Denmark.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

14. How exactly did she stand up for the USA, and who was attacking the USA?

[Armstead]

17. Who needs jingoism? It's wrong to say we're not always Number 1 in everything?

Our health care systems sucks compared to most countries in terms of giving people access to care.

We're failing as an industrial nation because our own industries have no loyalty to America anymore, and have turned their back on us.

Rah,rah,rah

[delrem]

18. She stood up for the USA against every one of Denmark's social advances?

Oh, too cool.

I can see why you supporters are so entranced.

[Renew Deal]

8. Media BS.

Those are hardly attacks. Amber Phillips is just looking for stuff to talk about.

[PatrickforO]

11. Well, portlander, the problem is that quote number 3, beginning, "I voted against it."

isn't true. The gun industry in America is NOT the only industry that has successfully dodged accountability. We can name big oil, which was able to weasel itself out of accountability for clean water. Big tobacco, who has consistently been protected from such liability. Wall Street, where not one CEO has been tried for malfeasance.

So that was a good, pithy answer, yeah, but it wasn't true. And, I don't think her plan to deal with the banks is tougher than Bernie's either.

That said, she did have a good debate, but I'm still for Bernie.

[delrem]

12. Good. I want them to debate issues.

But real life isn't twitter.
Poking twitter-like jabs isn't an in depth debate/discussion, with all Dems involved.

And maybe Hillary can let go of David Brock and company, and that entire negative point of view. Just so issues can come more clearly into focus, without the hate.

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. Yeah and she'll look ridiculous going after Bernie, who refuses to get down in the dirt with her. n/

21. Unnnnn, I'm glad it wasn't a total love fest... I thought they'd start giving each other back rubs

... after a while
