What argument against Sanders are clinton supporters using that can't conversely be used by any Republican? I dont see what is specific about Clintons policy alternatives that are superior to Bernie. I dont get it... Does she have an alternative or is she just gonna use Republican talkingpoints?
I believe Hillary has more of the soft skills to run the country.

I don't see any numbers from these economist. All i see is them saying that Bernie's plans "can't be done".

And are these the same people who were asleep at the wheel in 2008? Aren't these the same people asleep at the wheel on the looming college debt that is about to grip America?

isn't this what I said?

Under Sanders, income and jobs would soar, economist says
read the entire article
Friedman, however, argues that Sanders' plan would be more stimulative because it is pouring money into the economy, as opposed to cutting taxes. Several of Sanders' proposals -- such as spending $1 trillion on infrastructure -- will happen in the first few years of his administration.

The thinking goes: This enhanced government spending would increase demand on businesses, who would then hire more workers to meet their needs. The increase in
employment will prompt people to buy more, leading other businesses to hire.

"If there is more spending, people will have more to do," Friedman said, noting that the share of the population with jobs could be restored to its 1999 level of more than 64%, up from its current 59.6% rate.

I haven't been in HL much lately, but when I do browse I have been surprised at what I've read from some of the left-leaning long-time posters dismissing Sanders and sounding like Clinton beltway buddies.

Like did you ever really have a thorough progressive ideology, or was it all about just hating Republicans and stanning Obama all these years?
Exactly man. I said the same thing. I said that none of them and ever criticize Obama again if this is where they're going. It basically eliminates 4 years of complaints.

shyt like that
But couldnt a republican make that argument? Wouldnt that be a valid argument for say, george h w bush to use against the more boisterous and relative outsider Bill Clinton? Its a policy neutral argument which is what im saying. Hilary tried this against Obama and people didnt buy it.

Obama had more swag, but didn't promise nearly as much as Bernie.

I see bernie as a liberal porn star.

Hillary is more your mother.

Take it how you will.
