Wrong again, Cupcake.
Congress repealed certain parts of Glass-Steagall
The Glass-Steagall Act prohibited any one institution from acting as any combination of an investment bank, a commercial bank, and an insurance company.
So, as a result of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, a commercial bank would be able to buy an insurance company, or a commercial bank would be able to buy an investment bank, etc.
The three co-sponsors of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act were:
Sen. Phil Gramm - R
Rep. Jim Leach - R
Rep. Thomas J. Bliley, Jr. - R
In 1999, the Republicans held a majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The final version of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act passed the House by a vote of 362-57 and the Senate by a vote of 90-8. This made the bill “veto proof”, meaning that if Clinton had decided to veto, the bill would have been passed anyway.
Hillary wants to strengthen Dodd-Frank and regulate the “shadow banking system” which was the real cause of the 2008 recession.
Her speeches were about her view of the world, and about women as entrepreneurs.

Since Sanders has been urging supero delegates to switch sides an additional 120 have declared their support for Clinton.

It’s too bad that’s all he’s done.
Makes you wonder how such a failure can look himself in the mirror.

Exactly. Remember the Karl Rove-sponsored ad earlier this year that declared Hillary “wrong on Iraq”?
Irony is not just dead, it was buried intestate.

Thom Hartman is just this side of H.A. Goodman when it comes to over the deep end this election season. They have both gone frothing at the mouth crazy this election season.

You all should be thanking Bernie. Its given you one more chance to bitch and moan about his candidacy. So what’s the problem? Whine, complain, insult, get it all out without fear of having to hear or see anything that you don’t agree with, and if you do, not to worry, the pack will quickly put down any dissenting opinions. So feel free, go nuts.
No words on what an amazing word that is!

Her vote on the Iraq war should disqualify her - end of story.
And Sanders’ support of the NRA is unconscionable and should disqualify him immediately.
And yet — he’s still here…

The thing about EW is that she’s spent a career dealing with exactly the same mansplaining sexist garbage that HRC has.
And after this campaign season, I don’t think her tolerance for more of the same BS will have grown.

She still bowed out when she had far better math than Sanders does now. So, there’s that.

And if we retake the Senate, I see good things coming her way.

How odd.
I could have sworn that I liked her, and that I’d heard one, or maybe at least two, speak well of her.
Thanks for straightening me out on that, I get so confused sometimes.

He is taking advantage of voters’ ignorance of how the nomination works.
Super delegates are included in the total delegates needed, and no
nominee has ever won with just pledged delegates because of
that. Suggesting that winning a majority of pledged delegates and
having the endorsement of a majority of super delegates is not a win is
not only disingenuous, is is dishonest and fickle. It is beneath
someone who pretends to be the honest broker in the room looking out for
the rank and file.
Remarkably that is almost exactly the opposite of what he said.
Clinton has currently the majority of delegates and super delegates. However, as Bernie explicitly showed, it is possible for him to match her pledged delegates by winning a rather large (66%) majority of the reaming pledged delegates. This will tie him with Clinton.
And this point, he would make the argument that the supers should decide who has a better chance of winning the general election and that that candidate is him.
Whether or not he got more of the popular vote is irrelevant in a delegate-race. It’s like Gore claiming he should have gotten the Presidency because he wont the popular vote. We have laws and the DNC has rules, and one of the rules is that if no-one wins the pledged delegate vote outright, the supers step in. Whoever gets 2,383 pledged delegates automatically wins. By the DNC’s own rules, the super delegates are not pledged and so can be wooed up until they vote.
And so, both candidates can continue to woo super delegates until they cast their vote, and that is exactly what Sanders has done. It doesn’t matter in the slightest what they said last wee, or last month or last year. They are allowed (and expected to -read the rules) change their vote if the candidates can persuade them to do so.
That’s how the nomination works, your protestations notwithstanding.
Secondary Translation: He’s grifting $27 donations.
