So, no response? K.

Is the main criticism of Bernie by Hilary surrogates that his programs are pie and the sky and she he has no way paying for them. Apparently neither does Hilary, which is the point.

And Bernie is the ONLY candidate who wants to end the war on drugs

Bernie wants to build a bridge to Narnia as well. He wants to do a lot of things he hasn't the slightest clue how to implement. It's fine y'all want to vote for hopes and dreams, but here in this brand new place called reality...

People will vote for someone who the believe can actually get things done.

It would be out of turn for a presidential candidate to present a detailed legislative budget when they haven't even been elected and the new Congress hasn't been elected yet.

Ok, fair enough. So answer the question. What will hilary do to help the economic outlook of black people. Can't get mad at some of us for wondering, because it's not like her track record with black people is good or anything...

The same thing she's gonna do to help all Americans. She has minority aimed policies (like putting more money into HBCs, women's rights, etc) but her overarching theme is one that includes everyone. That's why black people so far have overwhelmingly thrown their support around her

Not true. Hillary wants to as well. Her approach may be different but she has that same goal in mind

Her saying she "needs to do more research" on medical marijuana tells me all I need to know. At LEAST decriminalize it and let the states do what they want.

You're saying all this but Hillary's website is just as vague as you claim Bernie to be. It really sounds silly.

Immigration reform needs to be tactless immediately. The dems have been promising this forever. It's in everyone's best interest.

Every candidate is expected have a pre-budget plan. The only thing on her site that even alludes to where this money will come from is "taxing the rich". No different from Bernie whatsoever.

Hillary moving towards decriminalizing marijuana versus Bernie wanting to legalize it isn't the only issue on the war on drugs. There are countless people already in prison for drug charges. There are other drug related crimes. Marijuana is just the tip of the iceberg.

Oh, so one size fits all policies to issues that disproportionately effect black people. Gotcha.

Not all minorities go to HBCUs, so what about those?

Originally posted by @michael

Well it's not like she can get legislation passed that simply says, "$50 Billion for black people!!" I feel like you're being willfully ignorant on this.

No you guys were just helping me prove my point. You can't just expect someone to cater to one group of people with their policies because it just leads to more racial tension. The truth is that there's no way to help the economic outlook of black people without helping everyone, but this really should be obvious.

The crime bill overwhelmingly affected black people so of course that's gonna be a big talking point when talking about black issues, just like immigration with Latinos. What's wrong with that? There's people in here STILL trying to act like Bernie doesn't care about black people yet stan Hillary when she does the same thing he does. It doesn't make any sense.

Then why is she winning blacks by (at her lowest) 3-1 margins?

For reasons I've alluded to in the past.

I will say this, I actually saw nothing wrong with what Bill said today. He defended his wife admirably. However, I was annoyed at him defending the '94 Crime Bill and talked of its successes, failing to admit the failures of it as well. It's fine to defend your legislation, but please show some understanding of the disproportionate incarceration rates that resulted from it. He went from defending his wife to defending his ego; refusing to acknowledge failure during his tenure in a matter of importance. He was a great President and had his bad moments, but that's pretty much goes for every POTUS we've ever had. It's okay to acknowledge you were wrong on some issues.

Hillary needs to seem him home for a month to chill. He stays going off the rails. Check yourself, William. This isn't your campaign, it is Hillary's.

As for the BLM activists interrupting the event. Clearly there is a double standard for some in the movement ranks. They barely ever hold Bernie accountable for the same legislation in '94 and he actually had a vote in it, but I digress.

You can laugh all day, but given his recent press interviews in which he failed to outline any legitimate agenda, the laugh would be on Bernie and his supporters.
