They are literally changing rules to help her.

My take on it is that most Dems in DC are frauds. They are as bad or worse than they claim the GOP is. They are dishonest, self-serving, power and money hungry pathetic excuses for human beings. There is no other explanation to support a known liar, like Hillary. Hillary, who is largely funded by Wall Street. Hillary who is under INVESTIGATION by the FBI. And not just her, her shady foundation now too.

Even PBS and NPR favor Hillary. You had one of the "moderators" last night at the Dem debate utter "oh God" when Sanders was talking. One of them was also ........a Clinton Foundation donor. LOL You can make this stuff up anymore. Out entire political system and "news" organizations....filled with bias, corruption, lies.

I am not one for socialism or big government, but damn it, it's hard not to like or even admire Bernie. Truly as grassroots campaign and the guy is honest. He's truly led by actions for decades. It just boggles my mind how the DNC and media STILL fawn over Hillary.
Why do you assume all Democrats are liberals of Bernie Sanders' type? Some of us of us charged our windmills decades ago in Birmingham, Berkeley, Chicago, and Kent, Ohio, and now we know it's smarter to pick our fights. Others have never been into socialism but aren't into worshipping unfettered capitalism either. Others don't like racism, xenophobia, homophobia or theocracy.

Attaching your name to someone elses bill, which many do, isnt a sign of leadership..

The rest is just complete hogwash
She cosponsored over 70 bills!!! This idea that if you work on a team you cannot take credit is very foreign to normal people like me. You may want to explain yourself. Using your logic, Michael Jordan cannot take credit for his six championship rings.

This is an example of a wing-nut who mingled common sense in order to justify his bias.

a theory in economics emphasizing individual freedom from restraint and usually based on free competition, the self-regulating market, and the gold standard
We're not talking 19th century economics here, but 21st century politics.

Modern definition of liberalism:
Quote:
1. the quality or state of being liberal, as in behavior or attitude.

2. a political or social philosophy advocating the freedom of the individual, parliamentary systems of government, nonviolent modification of political, social, or economic institutions to assure unrestricted development in all spheres of human endeavor, and governmental guarantees of individual rights and civil liberties.

3. (sometimes initial capital letter) the principles and practices of a liberal party in politics.

4. a movement in modern Protestantism that emphasizes freedom from tradition and authority, the adjustment of religious beliefs to scientific conceptions, and the development of spiritual capacities.

Why can't you grasp simple logic? Hillary made that money at least eights years before her "broke" claim. A lot can happen in eight years. Do you not get that someone can make a ton of money in 1990 but lose that money and then some by 1998?? Is this a foreign concept to you?

Let me guess, you're going to ignore what I've wrote and retort that I didn't address your point. Am I right?

I gave you simple logic. You respond with hypotheticals in bad attempt to disprove that logic.

Sure they can. It's call bad money management. Exactly my point.

Or an expensive lawsuit? Did you forget about that one?

Well, then, going bankrupt multiple times must be even worse money management, wouldn't you agree? Or is Trump the Buffoon given a pass because he's your hero?

And Hillary is a Democratic Socialist. They're both running for the Democratic Socialist Party nomination.

This is socialist:

Between all the snare drum and word swallowing, you even need subtitles for one of those vignettes.

On issue after issue, Democrats overwhelmingly support the policy stances of Bernie Sanders. Forget labels, just look at the issues. Look at his platform and his track record. Notice how Hillary doesnt really try to attack him from the right, because she knows Democrats overwhelmingly support his policies.

In European countries, Sanders could maybe be a member of some of the conservative parties. He is a New Dealer at heart. Just like Eisenhower. And he is not beholden to wealthy special interests and powerful campaign donors, but is only beholden to the voters.
