Think she also joked about "needing a bit more time" too.

Or as Obama just graciously noted, "doing everything I did but backwards in heels"

I object to your objection.

I object to your objection. Even HRC jokes about her pantsuits.

Anything is possible in this

In reply to Health care is incredibly

Anything is possible in this election because Sanders could be bringing in many new voters. Less the half of the people in this country votes. That leaves a big pool of new voters. If that happens then some of the gerrymandering won't hold up because it is based on pass voter affiliations.

Most everyone here that comments seems to cling to old ideas of demographics. This is a generational change that is happening. It is not set in stone that Congress will remain the same as before this election. Conservative politics is declining. All that big money from the wealthy hasn't helped all that much in this election so far.

FDR was forced by the general public into social security. Huey Long was the thorn in his side that motivated him into that. Most of the legislation that happened during the FDR's New Deal was push from the bottom up. This is what Sanders is organizing for.

Medicare for all is what the majority wants in the country. In fact everything that Sanders in advocating is wanted by the majority in this country. It all polls in the majority.

The person that is running against Debbie WS is from Sanders's campaign. He is receiving a lot of love from all over the country. She goes down in this election, that will send a strong message.

I guess we will see how all this unfolds in the next few months.

I read your book. In fact

In reply to Pardon the simplification,

I read your book. In fact much of my family read your book. I see parallels all over the place with LF and Sanders. You can give me big ideas and unicorns over what we have had for the last 35+years in politics. It may move faster toward new progressive reforms because of fast communications we have now, then what was available in that era. LF drew big crowds for his day and so does Sanders. Does anyone know there was a 35 city march for Bernie on Saturday? Sanders' campaign didn't organize it. It was done by his ground game groups and supporters. What I saw locally and on Face Book is impressive. Just think what LF could of ignited if he had todays technology. History is being made and we have a front row seat.

MIke you left out the roll

MIke you left out the roll social media has played along with netroots. Sanders campaign owns social media right now. Social media has organized much of the ground forces and got Sanders message out when MSM was ignoring him.

Yes, the Bob La Follette

In reply to Pardon the simplification,

Yes, the Bob La Follette effort looks like a strategy, thanks - that one I see, & yes, rolls with the Tea Party extract-penance approach to keeping people in line, which is how they're taking legislatures.

Vapidly condescending or not, "Does Hillary have a plan for overhauling Congress? Bernie does." wasn't your most elevated analysis of all time, and smacked of someone a bit enthralled. If Bernie makes it halfway to a Bob La Follette-type "plan", I'll be gratifyingly impressed. I doubt Bernie has the vengeance to go full LF (though his followers would no doubt gladly play subversive ninjas/nannies), but there's more than one way to skin a cat I imagine/hope - any serious plan & effort to take on all 50 states is fine by me. But I'm less taken by cynical John Edwards-style "war on poverty" efforts that disappear as quickly as they arose, and the Obama mass internet organization hardly helped the party once he was in. In other words, talk is cheap.

Ok, some I disagree with (e.g

In reply to "I don't see Bernie as

Ok, some I disagree with (e.g. he's not really saying end military adventures - he's asking us to employ Russia and Iran and Saudi Arabia for them, and his trade policy bit is a mess - $1 trillion pouring concrete like the Japanese tried? - and carbon tax is a bit of a "me too, she neither"), but yes, he's pushing minimum wage hard, and promoting free colleges, etc. So I walk back my assessment. Point Hal.

Wrong, my man. The Carolina

Wrong, my man. The Carolina Panthers dominated! Then again, if you're right, I need to do it a two more times to win the Superbowl!

Okay so this is what I object

In reply to Glad to hear it :).

Okay so this is what I object to MikeW, the pantsuit reference, I am pretty sure we can discuss HRC without resorting to another typical attack on a woman's clothing choices.

So how about you just want him to continue to pressure her to keep her on the path of not moving rightward or some such thing. :)

Nope. Twice is meaningless.

Nope. Twice is meaningless. It has to be three for anyone to take it seriously. It's the law of threes.

I tell you once. I tell you twice. What I tell you three times is true.
