It's that affluent perpetually Europe-jaunting primitive from Connecticut who thinks she's poor.

OK, I'm a Bernie supporter, but Hillary had a fine moment yesterday when she
answered that little kid's question about the most important thing in life and she said "love." Then she quoted another very accomplished woman's statement "I've loved and been loved and all the rest is background music."
It was unscripted and just nice. I think we can give her a little credit for that.

88. Romney woud have said same thing, as would Huckaby, Cruz, and every hate spouting minister .
I do however see the wisdom of Hillary posing and answering small children with the non-specific answers to childish questions. It is okay to kiss the babies, but it is certainly not worthy of note. It is just another of that women as victim role she hopes to deflect from her support of oligarchy.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but attacks on Hillary o democratic underground are based on her policies supporting the oligarchy and not on her gender. There was nothing news worthy here, just your need to say it was great speaks loads about her campaign supporters and their need to avoid truth, preferring to engage in good feelings.
Democracy and the fight for democracy is messy and loud. It is championing of views and is particularly noisy and often distressing for bystanders and the in-experienced. But inexperience and un-willlingness to get really involved in analyzing the differences between candidates should not become a habit for a democrat, nor should feel good moments overshadow debate, especially on a site called Democratic underground.

2. But no answers or hard choices on Social Security or Keystone XL
Pandering is not what we need.
We need answers to her policy positions!
It's NOT good enough to tell voters that we need to elect her to find out who and what she represents.
Platitudes will get you nowhere this election.

4. Good thing you showed up to inject some much-needed partisanship into a nonpartisan thread.
God forbid any Bernie supporters step out of line and suggest that maybe Hillary is a human being after all.
You go, Skins. Show the malcontents some balls.

7. We are ALL human beings.
And some of us need more than nice words to keep from despair and ruin.
We don't want or need platitudes.
IS Team Hillary TONE DEAF about the plight of the working poor, elderly and PoC?
BTW, this is posted in the PRIMARIES forum???
Is it not OK to offer opinion and critique in the forum for just such exchanges?

11. Apparently team Hillary must be tone deaf.
When she told that little kid something nice about love it was like a big "f-you" to the working poor. Instead, she should have lectured that little kid that the most important thing in life is Keystone XL.
That would have totally set the right tone.

Ban her, Skins; the cosmetology cat's just a trouble-maker, a rabble-rouser, for Bernie.
It's a long thread, and goes on and on and on, the Bernie primitives being excessively rude.

55. Intentionally. This happens when someone decides to be rude and disruptive for no good reason.
Some folks just can't find it in them to let anyone else have anything nice.
Just walk in and plonk.
Mission accomplished.

56. The poster in post #2 couldn't allow a nice thread about Hillary to happen. They think that
crapping on this OP helps Bernie somehow.
Yeah. The Bernie primitives are showing their true colors, which aren't pretty colors.
Skins needs to ban them, ban them all.
