acting as if the 16+ million people who voted for Hillary didn't do it because they felt her policies were better. They want to be decide the platform on which the democratic party runs for the next 4 years after being decisively rejected. I don't want the Sander's tax increases on everyone. I'd prefer to spend more money improving K-12, while increasing college opportunities and funding, but expecting those that can contribute, to contribute. I don't want what amounts to policies written up by a far-left freshman polisci student. I want pragmatic policies that will be sustainable. If I wanted Senator Sanders, I would have voted for him.

I used to admire Nina Turner but I think she got bitter after underthematrix Jun 2016 #3

She had a good position in ODC ladym55 Jun 2016 #11

Well, she was a terrible candidate bluestateguy Jun 2016 #27

I found that intriguing too drray23 Jun 2016 #4

Good point about Turner not pushing back... Satch59 Jun 2016 #6

I think Nina should just cut out the double talk and campaign lines and just admit it's over bravenak Jun 2016 #5

One ranting Sanders' surrogate is enough. SaschaHM Jun 2016 #23

She might get a job on Fox News. As their requisite "Liberal commentator" so she can bash Hillary.. SaschaHM Jun 2016 #25

Sounds plausible. They tried out Dennis Kucinich for the same reason after Obama was elected. nt Tarheel_Dem Jun 2016 #29
