Me Too!

[Eric J in MN]

First, Bernie Sanders said he's against Keystone XL and the TPP. Then Hillary Clinton said Me Too.

Sanders should use the same strategy on banking regulations: say he supports all of the banking regulations proposed by Hillary Clinton and more.

During both debates, Hillary Clinton claimed to have a tougher plan for Wall Street than Sanders. She wants to require banks to have more disclosure and collateral. There is no reason why Sanders would oppose those things.

If Sanders engages in a little Me Too himself, then Hillary Clinton can't claim to be tougher on Wall Street in the next debate.

1. They can make lots of promises now and ignore them when they are in office

They are politicians.

[merrily]

2. Sanders has no history of such things.

10. Video: "Bernie Sanders - Through the Years"

Bernie Sanders standing up for gay rights and criticizing wealth-inequality through the decades:

[merrily]

12. Exactly. Same for his economic policies. Thank you.

3. "They" don't, "She" does

Ti a great degree, Bernie's appeal is based on his long track record of honesty and integrity

[Eric J in MN]

5. Hillary Clinton called the TPP the "gold standard" as Secretary of State

...and then recently said she's against the TPP "as of today." That switch inspires doubts.

But Bernie Sanders has always supported regulating banks. He could sincerely say that includes the bank regulations proposed by Hillary Clinton and more.

It would end the argument over which of them is tougher on Wall Street.

13. Only one of them has a history of changing their minds on issue after issue. And it's not Bernie!

[72DejaVu]

4. Bernie can't do that

It would imply that he wasn't always right about every thing all the time.

9. In the last debate,

...Bernie Sanders moderated his position on immunity for gun manufacturers, saying he liked some parts of the bill and disliked parts of it and he'd be willing to take another look.

Saying he's for more banking regulations would be an easier change for him.

6. Axctually that's a good idea. You should pass it along

I support all of the policies she has proposed, but I also intend to take it a step further and go at the root of the problem."

[Eric J in MN]

7. How can I pass it along? NT

[Armstead]

8. Maybe send an e-mail to his campaign headquarters. Ya never know

or call...

[reformist2]

11. Yep. Bernie should say, Great! Let's pass all your proposals, PLUS reinstate Glass-Steagall!

[Juicy_Bellows]

14. I do not think she gives a shit about positions or policy.

It seems she just wants to win.

and that makes me a sad panda.

[Eric J in MN]

15. Yeah, if Hillary Clinton becomes president I'm not expecting her

...to make a lot of phone calls to Congress members to try to get them to pass the banking regulations she says she supports as a candidate.

[Juicy_Bellows]

19. Haha yeah.

That'll be the day. Why don't other people see that? I just don't get it.

[Autumn]

17. Don't be a sad panda

Bernie's going to win. For all the pandas.

[Juicy_Bellows]

18. I sure hope so!

I really do.

[moobu2]

16. Yeah, that will really get Bernie's number up I bet.

[Dem2]

20. Why not?

I respect people who see ideas that they like and tailor them into their message if they agree with them.
