Discussion: Clinton: Trump Could Bankrupt America Like 'He's Bankrupted His Companies'

Study it out, sheeple!

randyabraham · May 23, 2016, 9:12pm

Sounds like you learned the wrong lessons of 2000.

mattinpa · May 23, 2016, 9:12pm

Yeah, yeah, I know. Buncha old beatniks yelling that anything to the right of the Wobblies are corporate sellouts and unless we embrace Sanders immediately we’re doomed! DOOMED! But Joe, you’re ten years dead, I cried; I never died, said he! Oh, sing out, Pete Seeger, inspire us to greater self-righteousgasms!

So. Anyway. Personally a lot of us outgrew that crap years ago. Nowadays we’d rather win elections than posture. Call us crazy!

50,000 Bernie supporters will vote for Trump? ha Ha ha Stop lying.

geofu54 · May 23, 2016, 9:13pm

And Warren voted as a Republican till 1994.

xp9dnxx · May 23, 2016, 9:13pm

It’s fiction saying that 50,000 Sanders people will vote for Trump. NO WAY, but he presents it with a straight face as fact.

boidster · May 23, 2016, 9:14pm

I read that in Apha’s broken-modulator voice.

When HRC was a Goldwater Girl she was not of voting age, so there’s that. But she did it because her father was a domineering, often abusive man and a republican, or is that redundant. That crap is right up there with killing Vince Foster.

In West Virginia?

Yes.

lestatdelc · May 23, 2016, 9:15pm

Well then. Clinton doesn’t have to kiss Sanders ass then and West Virginia will vote Democratic in Nov. Right?

boidster · May 23, 2016, 9:15pm

So, she cares at least a little? YES!

Being a Democrat is not synonymous with being liberal. THAT is the underlying problem with the Democratic Party. Although they are not as conservative as the GOP, they take liberals for granted. They will never get the liberal vote until they reconnect back with liberal ideas, which they shifted away from beginning with the Clinton Administration.

Despite what your little brain may believe, there are more than just two kind of people in this world. There is more than just liberal and conservative. In fact, the extremes of both would just make up the vertical ideological spectrum. Besides being many degrees between the extremes, there is also authoritarian and libertarian horizontal extremes. Based on a candidates history, you can easily determine where they reside within the entire spectrum and how they compare with yourself. It should not take a blog to tell you this.

I suspect this is also the case in states like Oklahoma and Kansas.

lestatdelc · May 23, 2016, 9:17pm

No kidding. The fact remains that Clinton is a liberal, rated the 11th most liberal member of the Senate when she was in elected office.

Sorry if facts upset you so much.

It doesn’t, nor do I need some anonymous yabo on the internet to post about it.

Well aware of political theory of liberal/conservative and authoritarian/libertarian from gee… nearly 30 years ago when I was in my 20s.

But that’s not what she’s doing. Why “could” bankrupt the US? Why not "would’? That’s what he would certainly do if his tax policy is implemented. It’s what infuriates me about Clinton, even as I count myself a big supporter: the calculated dilution of everything she says into a cautious stew.

notborneveryminute · May 23, 2016, 9:19pm

Two counterexamples: Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

notborneveryminute · May 23, 2016, 9:23pm

You’re crazy.

spencersmom · May 23, 2016, 9:24pm

Right? I’m up to comment #50 and so far it’s been a back and forth about West Virginia’s primary’s exit polling of Sanders supporters and who wrote what, etc.

I’ve seen things go off the rails but this has been more epic than normal!

lestatdelc · May 23, 2016, 9:25pm

Just wait.
