Bernie really doesn't have a plan
and it shows when someone questions him
he doesn't explain anything he just says things that sound nice
This video really put me off on Bernie @ 4:07
when Bill (who is a Bernie supporter) asked him how he was
going to pay for everything, He really didn't have an answer.
He just said some buzz words to get the crowd cheering.
The New York Times: Hillary Clinton and the Benghazi Gang
The hearing was a partisan battle between Republicans seeking to damage Mrs. Clinton’s White House bid and Democrats who made her look presidential.

And? They're not going to spend every day doing this if she's elected. I'd hope anyone in office by then would have the sense to get over it and try to do their jobs.
If Trey Gowdy is a typical example of a House republican right now, I'd say we're in far worse shape and far less likely to take Sanders legitimately than I first thought.
Implying that the politicans elected in this shithole have any sense.

Republicans have hated Hillary since her time as First Lady, that didn't stop her from working with them in the Senate.
Working with her on voting for a war to kill thousands of Americans and Middle Easterners. Slay!
Hillary Clinton has surged back into a huge lead in Iowa
WASHINGTON – Hillary Clinton has seized an 11-point lead in Iowa over rival Bernie Sanders, according to a poll released Friday.
She leads Sanders 51-40 percent, with former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley getting just 4 percent in the Quinnipiac University poll of the Democratic presidential race.
“A strong debate performance doesn’t always translate into better poll numbers, but it sure did for Hillary Clinton,” said pollster Peter Brown.
In the same poll in September, Sanders had the edge 41 to 40 percent.
Ben Carson leads Donald Trump by 9 points in Iowa: poll
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has overtaken billionaire businessman Donald Trump in another poll on the 2016 GOP presidential field in the early state of Iowa, picking up 10 points of support since August.
Mr. Carson received the support of 28 percent of likely GOP caucus participants in the Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register numbers released Friday. Mr. Trump was at 19 percent — down 4 points since August.
A Quinnipiac poll released Thursday also showed Mr. Carson overtaking Mr. Trump in the state and leading by 8 points, 28 percent to 20 percent.
All told, Clinton has averaged 59 percent to Sanders’s 27 percent in national polls without Biden since the debate. In an average of all polls without Biden in the month before the debate, Clinton was at 53 percent to Sanders’s 29 percent.
Clinton has also gotten a boost in New Hampshire, home to the first primary. New Hampshire has been a weak spot for Clinton. She hadn’t led in a single New Hampshire poll taken in August or September. In fact, Sanders was up by an average of 43 percent to 35 percent in the month before the debate.3 In five New Hampshire polls taken since the Oct. 13 debate, Clinton has led in three to Sanders’s two. On average, they’re essentially tied: Sanders is at 40.6 percent to Clinton’s 40.2 percent.
If Sanders falls behind in New Hampshire, it will be very bad news for his campaign. Not only is New Hampshire right next door to Sanders’s home state, Vermont, it’s also filled with his base voters: white liberals. If Clinton wins New Hampshire, it’s probably a sign that Sanders won’t be competitive in most states outside of Vermont.

Would politicians prefer to remain at Capitol Hill as Senator or serve in a Cabinet position? Logically the cabinet but I wonder how much power Secretary of Governmental departments have.
Because if Hillary wins I want to see Senator Warren as Secretary of the Treasury and Bernie as Secretary of Commerce or Education. And potentially Gillibrand as Sec. of State.
The campaign is removing some senior staff from the payroll, parting ways with some consultants, and downsizing its Miami headquarters to save more than $1 million per month and cut payroll by 40 percent this week, according to Bush campaign officials who requested anonymity to speak about internal changes. Senior leadership positions remain unchanged.
The campaign is also cutting back 45 percent of its budget, except for dollars earmarked for TV advertising and spending for voter contacts, such as phone calls and mailers. Some senior-level staff and consultants will continue to work with the campaign on a volunteer basis, while other junior-level consultants, primarily in finance but including other areas, will be let go, the officials said. The officials declined to say who would be removed from the payroll or provide an exact dollar figure for the savings.

I don't know. Elizabeth would probably want to remain in the Senate and that's where I want her. We need people like her there. Same with Bernie and Gilli. However, since I want a Gillibrand run in 2024, I'd prefer she stay in the Senate at least until Hillary's second term to give her more time, exposure and experience. Because say she was to become SoS during Hillary's first term. Then she'd be out of office for four years before running.
Lol not like she really accomplished anything else.
Yeah, you don't know what you're talking about. Whether you're being purposefully obtuse or not, it's not cute.

Hillary Clinton was instrumental in helping secure $21 billion in federal aid to help New York rebuild after 9/11. She fought tooth and nail to protect the first responders who rushed into danger when the towers collapsed and was pivotal in the passage of legislation that helped those first responders who got sick get the care and treatment they deserved. She worked night and day to protect and create jobs in New York, whether that was at the Niagara Falls Air Force base or the Center for Bioinformatics at the University of Buffalo. She also led the charge on the Lilly Ledbetter Pay Equity Act, which is now the law of the land.
