RE: Hillary Clinton Blames Bernie Sanders For Her Lost
I have to give her credit here....she's actually telling the truth:
Quote:Nonetheless, the “Bernie Bros” ate up the Vermont senator’s liberal policy proposals, which he claimed he would accomplish by ushering in a “political revolution”—a bit of dreamy utopianism that apparently left the more pragmatic Clinton fuming. “Noting that his plans did not add up, that they would inevitably mean raising taxes on middle-class families, or that they were little more than a pipe dream—all of this could be used to reinforce his argument that I wasn’t a true progressive.”
Clinton writes that in addition to her own team, Barack Obama counseled her to lay off her opponent. “President Obama urged me to grit my teeth and lay off Bernie as much as I could. I felt like I was in a straitjacket.” It was like a scene out of There’s Something About Mary, she says, recalling a comparison made by her top policy aide Jake Sullivan, wherein Ben Stiller’s character picks up a “deranged hitchhiker” who says he’s going to introduce seven-minute abs to blow eight-minute abs right out of the water. “That’s what it was like in policy debates with Bernie. We would promise a bold infrastructure investment plan or an ambitious new apprenticeship program for young people, and then Bernie would announce basically the same thing, but bigger. On issue after issue, it was like he kept promising four-minute abs, or even no-minutes abs. Magic abs!”
Must have been refreshing for her to finally tell the truth.

Not true if you run the programs right.
1.Make health care for all as an investment for everybody to pay into. Illegals and non-citizens do not qualified. That includes Dreamers.
2.Make education for all, and make it as an investment. That would let business leaders pay into to recruit the right people that they want that are bright in their fields. That means a reform of education system. We may have to have smart people in math and science who are not teachers teach in the High Schools before college. That is how they do that in Japan.
3.With health care and education under control, the businesses will create more jobs for everybody.

Wait.
So it was zerO's fault. Or was it Bernies? Or Mary's? Or sexism?
Guess there's enough blame to go around. Everywhere.

Anybody with even a smidgen of understanding when t comes to economics knew that Bernie's plans were not realistic and if implemented would had led to the ruin of our economy soon to be followed by the ruin of our society.
Quote:1.Make health care for all as an investment for everybody to pay into. Illegals and non-citizens do not qualified. That includes Dreamers.
Except that wasn't Bernie's plan. He was going to make the rich and the evil corporations pay for it and all of our capital would have fled the country. Up until he realized that wasn't enough then came after the middle class.
And healthcare for all isn't an investment for everybody. How much do you personally pay? How much do you reckon Miss Betty in apartment C113 across the creek pays for her healthcare?
Quote:2.Make education for all, and make it as an investment. That would let business leaders pay into to recruit the right people that they want that are bright in their fields.

Exactly what we need....even more Sociology and Women's Studies majors.
Quote:3.With health care and education under control, the businesses will create more jobs for everybody.
Everybody in Ireland as they would have fled the higher tax rates in the US. Good for the Irish....not so good for the Americans.
RE: Hillary Clinton Blames Bernie Sanders For Her Lost
She lost because of Obama. Period. She lost for every reason Joe Biden would have won. It ain't about Joe being a man either. It's about Hillary being the wrong kind of woman. Not one woman on the View gonna be President. Rosie ain't gonna be President. Oprah ain't gonna be President. Those chicks are all the same person.
Ellen could be Vice President only because she is "kind to one another".
Our current UN ambassador could be President. Mostly because she is "kind and understanding". Rosie and her ilk aren't kind and certainly not understanding.
