So they adopt wing nut talking points,

and say Bill Clinton's record is Hillary's record, list a slew of "myths" all in a vain attempt at what?
Nothing so far today to enlighten us on Bernie's positions.
3 more months of this until IA caucus.

Mark Thompson said Jeb lost to Rubio in the last debate because Rubio can play the dozens better than Jeb can. Mark says when your opponent can play the dozens better than you then you need to shut up.

Who will play the dozens best on DU for the next three months?

But when HRC supported that record, and those "accomplishments", including as recently as 2012, people might question any recent progressive turn on the issues that clearly contradicts her past positions.

Bill Clinton is not running for President.
Hillary is.
No support from Bernie folks for our Dem presidents.
Do you hold the same thoughts in your head that you did in the 90's?
Or are you like everyone else and change opinions with the times and more relevant information?

Love Jimmy Carter. He was a man ahead of his time. Hope he gets better soon.

1) HRC is running for President
2) HRC has expressed support for her husband's positions
3) It is logical to assume that if HRC has expressed support for William Clinton's positions, she also supports those positions.

I am not a "Bernie folk", but my support for Democratic Presidents is not unqualified or uncritical. I voted for President Obama twice, but disagree with his positions on many issues.

If you want to have a real discussion next time, don't attack the commenter, and maybe try opening a productive dialogue.

Jeb! is being unfairly linked to his brother (or father), as neither is running for President.

Should Jeb! be cleared of any connection to 9/11, Iraq, or domestic surveillance?
