1. I stand with Hillary. Nt

[olegramps]

44. She is the most knowlegeable candidate to lead the nation.

This most pressing concern for our wellbeing are the international challenges facing the nation. Her grasp and actual knowledge is revealed in her book "Hard Choices." I would suggest that her critics take out time to read just how complicated the situation is when dealing with international politics. The simpletons who believe Trumps ridiculous nonsense should be not be our standard.

She is also realistic in her proposals. While Sanders is absolutely correct in his criticism of the system; just how reasonable are his demands? This board has become similar to the echo chamber that prevented the Republicans for grasping the reality of the situation. Just to mention one reality should be cause for intense concern. Where is his support from the minorities who must vote if the Democrats are to have a decent chance of winning the presidency and any hope of regaining control of congress?

[ProudToBeLiberal]

2. I also stand with Hillary. Nt

[Warren DeMontague]

3. "I support reigning in Wall Street"

that's funny, your majesty.

[NurseJackie]

5. Yep, typos and autocorrects produce hysterical results somtimes!

[Warren DeMontague]

6. I guess.

[NurseJackie]

8. I know.

[Warren DeMontague]

9. I'm not sure if I would go so far as to call it "hysterical"

Perhaps a tad ironic.

Common mistake, anyway. At least it wasn't "loose" in place of "lose". That one drives me up the wall.

[Nonhlanhla]

29. Haha!

Your to funny you mean it drives you off of the wall, so that you loose your temper?

(I teach freshmen writing...)

[NorthCarolina]

64. OK, so apparently

they don't get to learn about the word "too" until sophomore year then?

[Nonhlanhla]

75. Twoche

Right?

[tazkcmo]

98. Twoche

Nicely played! This Army veteran would like to thank you for the smile you've caused and I would also like to thank you for your critically important service to our country. Teachers are tops in my book!

[Warren DeMontague]

120. I salute your patience.

Or maybe I saute your patients.

[NurseJackie]

92. For all intensive porpoises, your write! :-)

[treestar]

89. Yawn.

This is getting dull. It's not us against "Wall Street." We all have an interest in regulating Wall Street, but also an interest in its success. I have retirement savings in it, so I want it going up and doing well.

[Lucinda]

112. Exactly. n/t

[BooScout]

113. +1

[Warren DeMontague]

121. Trust me, I don't like it when the market shits the bed, either.

But I thought the typo was funny.

I also think that a case can be made for "Wall St." that doesn't require extremely lame attempts to justify being supported by hedge fund managers "because nineeleven". That was just painful.

[Doctor_J]

107. I think the op was copied and pasted from an old one, which also had Wall Street reigning if Clinton

wins. Freudian slip.

[BooScout]

109. I didn't copy and paste anything but the links...

The OP was written fresh this morning. Blame it on DU spell check. Care to comment on the issues rather than my spelling?

[NurseJackie]

4. Fantastic post! (Thank you!!)

[GreydeeThos]

7. +1

[madokie]

10. I'm sorry

but can you be assured that tomorrow that is how candidate Clinton will stand

Some of this is laughable
for instance 'Cut it out' is not going to make a hill of beans of difference.

[Amimnoch]

15. well.. at least those claims are at least within the realm of presidential powers.

unlike some claims by another.

[madokie]

62. And what would those claims be?

I'm curious

[Amimnoch]

71. the entirety of his wall-street reform promises

smoke.. mirrors.. lies...

from:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=976355

He'd be 100% the only candidate worth electing! If only what he says was possible. This is EXACTLY what I keep on about.. he makes great promises that he will NOT have the authority to make come to pass. It's either lies or ignorance.

Within one year, my administration will break these institutions up so that they no longer pose a grave threat to the economy as authorized under Section 121 of the Dodd-Frank Act.

He's right that Dodd-Frank does give that power.. to the board of governors, and requires a 2/3 vote for approval of the board of governors. This is NOT a presidential power. He can make the list, but that's as far as this tootless tiger can go, the board of governors in no form for at least the next 12 years is going to support that vote. At best he can start getting a few of the old governors replaced with better nominations, but even those have to have a Senate that will approve them. Give me that Senate roll call that will support revamping the Fed. Hint, for at least the 115th congress, it doesn't exist unless someone goes out and recruits a MESS of really progressive senators right now.

Reinstate Glass-Stegall? Again, show me a realistic hypothetical congressional roll call of any potential version of the 115th congress.. and I will give serious reconsideration of my candidate support. As president, all he has (for this particular reinstatement) is the bully pulpit, and as everyone loves to point out his strong point of being the political outsider.. that is NOT a beneficial trait for a POTUS trying to use the bully pulpit. Sorry, but that is the nakked reality.

Not one major Wall Street executive has been prosecuted for causing the near collapse of our entire economy.

That will change under my administration. “Equal Justice Under Law” will not just be words engraved on the entrance of the Supreme Court. It will be the standard that applies to Wall Street and all Americans.

Now this has me REALLY curious. I'm assuming this would be using the attorney General's office. Is there actual laws or legal precident that he could work with? This might be possible?

Under my administration, we will turn for-profit credit rating agencies into non-profit institutions, independent from Wall Street. No longer will Wall Street be able to pick and choose which credit agency will rate their products.

Another interesting one to me. Under what power, law, or authority can he achieve this, or is he going to have to depend on and work with Congress to make this happen?

The section on reforming the Federal Reserve? Again, a beautifully worded section. This part I know he can't possibly get done without full congressional cooperation, and again, there's no version of the potential 115th congress that's going to do that.

[madokie]

79. Because

of thinking like you in this is why we find ourselves where we are.

I denounce this 100%

Its called Priorities, in case you want to know

[Cary]

93. Because of Republicans starting with Reagan is why we are where we are and not better off

You don't seem to know who your friends are.

[madokie]

97. I very well know who my friends are

and this isn't one of them. actually it started long before reagan, more like with the killing of a Popular President. Its all gone down hill since

It's the thinking I'm referring to when I said that, in case you want to know.

[randys1]

127. I wish the bickering over the 2 candidates would stop and people would ANALYZE what

Wall Street is, and why it really doesnt serve the average person's interest, AT ALL.

[Amimnoch]

99. there there.. I know.. the reality.. it hurts sometimes.

Who is it that normally likes to "denounce 100%" facts when it's presented?

I know Tea Partiers "denounce 100%" climate change.

Birthers had a trouble with facts as well.

By all means, denounce 100% as much as you'd like, but do know. I'm willing to continue discussing facts rather than feel good empty promises any time you'd like to continue the discussion.

If what the Senator proposes is actually viable and possible within the realm of political realities.. please do make the case.

I am open to changing my mind.

[BooScout]

102. Excellent points...

Very factually accurate. Thanks!

[Alfresco]

11. I too am a PROUD Democrat. I support Hillary AND the Democratic Party.

[Sancho]

12. I support Hillary for those issues and more...

My top issues has always included a path to citizenship. Hillary was the first to call for this, and she has put it forward as an issue for a long time:
https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/immigration-reform/

Hillary has fought for gun control for many years. She doesn't waffle or back-track or allow gun manufacturers to get off the hook. That is another hot issue for me and has been for a long time. There are too many links to even bother to post them here.

[Skidmore]

13. I am a Democrat.

And we can do all of these things with Hillary as our president.

[Cary]

14. Me too

And I am amazed that this is controversial here a Democratic Underground.

[Tortmaster]

16. Oh Hell yeah!

If I were a gambling man, I would bet that a dream ticket of Clinton and Secretary Julian Castro crushes the opposition, and the down-ballot tsunami gives us the Senate and the House. Then shit gets done.

I stand with Hillary.

[In_The_Wind]

17. I Am A Democrat And I Also Support Hillary Clinton

Good to see you~

[In_The_Wind]

132. Hi, sheshe2

I've missed you!

136. Go Hillary!

Hillary is THE one in 2016!

Refreshing!

[quickesst]

21. I'm right there with you....

[Coolest Ranger]

22. It's refreshing to see

positive articles about Sister Clinton for a change, proud to rec

[sulphurdunn]

23. Dynastic politics is like this.

In twenty years the name Chelsea will fill in the blank, I suppose. Of course, to be the 2nd or 3rd member of your clan to be president probably makes you a member of the ultimate insider class. That means you can "stand" for whatever gets you elected and then govern however you friends at the country club want.

[Fast Walker 52]

24. I am a Democrat and I will vote for Hillary Clinton if I have to--

but I do not think she's the best candidate to move this country forward.

[Bobbie Jo]

25. K&R

[livetohike]

26. I am a Democrat and I support Hillary Clinton for President. n/t

[leftofcool]

27. I stand with Hillary. Thank you for this post.

[BlueMTexpat]

28. I am proud to be a lifelong Democrat AND

I am VERY proud to support Hillary Clinton for President of the United State in 2016s!

Thanks, Boo!

[Nonhlanhla]

30. I became a Democrat

about 5 minutes after I arrived in this country as a young woman almost 2 decades ago. Gave the GOP one look and ran in the opposite direction, LOL!

I stand with Hillary.

[Walk away]

32. I am a completely loyal, life long Democrat and I support Hillary Clinton...

all the way to the White House!

[Thinkingabout]

33. K & R, I am a Democrat and I am with Hillary,

She is the most qualified candidate running.

[tecelote]

35. I am a Democrat and I want Peace.

I wish Hillary and her supporters cared enough to make it a talking point.

[Fast Walker 52]

118. indeed.

[MarianJack]

36. Well said!

PEACE!

[Walk away]

37. Wow! I just realized that you posted this outside the Hillary Forum.

Gutsy move! I see we are already starting to get swarmed! I don't think I'll be checking in to see how it goes as I expect the worst (sadly).
I'm off to better places.

[nc4bo]

40. Not voting for HRH. No way in hell but

Would never use THAT word as a reason why.

[Laser102]

43. That was a step too far. Shame on you!

[nc4bo]

45. I alerted on your trifling ass.

Hopefully jurors hide it.

F you for making me defend her.

[leftofcool]

46. So did I. This one needs MIRT!

[BooScout]

50. MIRT took it out...

What a nasty troll that was! Thanks MIRT!

[liberalnarb]

80. What happened there?

I'm curious

[BooScout]

83. Hillary was called the 'c' word and a witch...

Unfortunately trolls like to poop on positive threads.

[liberalnarb]

85. Why did I get a feeling that word was used?

ugh

[Laser102]

48. Thank you for your decency. I am hoping the Hillary supporters will do the same for Bernie.

I would in a second.

[Delver Rootnose]

51. I didn't even get a chance to vote..

..I got an error that said it was already removed. I guess I took to long putting a harsh explanation down.

[marble falls]

55. Sorry about that! You'll get him next time.

[Delver Rootnose]

61. Rather there not be ....

..a next time. I'm no fan of Hillary but those comments had no place in polite political conversation. And I have a loose definition of polite. There are enough policy issues that can back up not voting for Hillary without the BS.

[marble falls]

68. Rather there'd not be, but realistically? He'll be back and maybe already has another sock...

lined up. Or two. He gets got usually within one or two posts.

I am 100% behind Bernie and I have reasonable, substantive, policy positions for not preferring Hillary Clinton. But I am also 100% against mud throwing that tries to call itself political debate.

Boo put up a nice OP and that twit just wanted to disrupt it.

[Doctor_J]

39. I am a democrat and Sanders' stance on every single one of those issues is better!

I am a democrat and can't support a conservative for president or any other office, period.

[PowerToThePeople]

103. I am a Democrat who is feeling the Bern!

Bernie Sanders 2016!

[immoderate]

128. I'm a democrat too!

That's why Bernie.

--imm

[Laser102]

42. I also stand with Hillary.

[Dustlawyer]

49. Bernie actually supports REAL SOLUTIONS to those problems and more, not just corporate

approved policies, or platitudes like HRC!

[SmittynMo]

52. Get the facts right

HRC - Affordable college - reduce interest rates. BS - Free tuition

HRC - Affordable Healthcare - Fix the ACA? BS - Single payer Healthcare.

HRC - Wall Street - I wonder how loud she can yell while they pad her wallet? BS - Actually take on Wall Street

HRC - Social Security - Protect it? BS - Expand it.


I guess the thing that really sticks out the most is the word "trustworthy". Now who do you think is more trustworthy? Hmmmm. Think about that for a minute.

This is a no brainer. It's quite obvious who has the better stances on these subjects.

[BooScout]

54. It is Obvious. Hillary has the better and more pragmatic & achievable stances.

[SmittynMo]

63. Blinded by the light!!!!!

Look away

[BooScout]

65. Grounded in reality.

[SmittynMo]

90. Well, good for you.

Hillary sure seems to agree with Republicans a lot.
I don't,
that is why I am a Democrat, and voting for a Democrat....Bernie!

[pengu]

53. I'm a democrat and I stand with Bernie

[MissDeeds]

60. Me too n/t

[djean111]

57. If your implication is that ANY Democrat should stand with Hillary - nope. I am a Democrat, and I

stand with Bernie. On the issues, on trustworthiness, on experience.

[BooScout]

59. My implication is I am a Democrat and I support Hillary Clinton.

[rpannier]

69. I think the implication is/was

a person can support HRC and still be a good Democrat
Just as a person can support Sen Sanders or O' Malley and still be a good Democrat
From some posts I've seen here, there are people who seem to feel otherwise

[TBF]

58. This registered dem supports Bernie -

and the principles of FDR. He is my first choice for president. No name calling here. We need to keep Cruz out of the White House.

[stonecutter357]

66. K&R!

[Protalker]

67. I want us to win

I l ike all Bernie's domestic ideals. I
would send him $$27 if Bernie would start to address
The world situation outside of the US. HRC is well situated to make reasons in substantial points here. IF Bernie expands his message HRC might not be so inevitable

[tecelote]

72. How can you say this? Here's Bernie on our war.

Today is a tragic day for humanity...

...and for the children. 30,000 of whom in the third world will starve to death today while we spend billions to wage this war.

How can Hillary supporters hear this and continue to support a war monger bent on regime change?

76. 74. I support Bernie Sanders till the Convention. Then I support the candidate .....

the Convention picks. If its Hillary - I will support her enthusiastically. Not because she's a Democrat - but because she will be by far the best choice in November.

[randr]

77. I am a Democrat and I support an open and free election

process where candidates debate issues openly and often. Where the gutter politics of the opposition do not enter into our political discussion. Where myself and all my fellow Democrats stand behind the ultimate winner of our primary and defeat the Republican candidate whomever that may be.
First I am a Liberal Progressive Democrat!

[Doctor_J]

106. Running to the right is OK, I guess.

Bless you. The people who crashed the economy in 2008 are happy that you are on their side.

[BooScout]

110. The people who crashed the economy in 2008 were Republicans...

Not the Democrats. Hillary Clinton is a Democrat. So am I. Being a Democrat is a good thing.

[Doctor_J]

111. the people who crashed the economy were people like Jamie Dimon and Wall Street

you know, Hillary's friends and benefactors.

[MoonRiver]

100. I stand with Hillary,

101. I'm a progressive first; a Democrat second.

You're only fooling yourself.

At least, that's what I've been told for months.

Still waiting to see anything Bernie there. Apparently the Admin here thinks if they just ignore him, he'll go away. That's not working so well for the MSM.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

116. Everyone should vote for their principles.

I'm going to.

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. John Quincy Adams

"I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all." --Thomas Jefferson

[Hekate]

135. I do. My principles are to vote for a Democrat. Pigs will fly before I vote for the alternative. nt
