...she should come right out and ask for the resignations of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Democratic National Committee Chair — and Florida congresswoman — Debbie Wasserman Schultz. In one masterstroke, she could separate herself from two of the most prominent of all corporate Democratic elitists.

Each is a Clinton disciple and devotee, each has profited mightily from the association and each represents all that is wrong with a Democratic Party that in the pursuit of money from rich donors and powerful corporations has abandoned those it once so proudly represented — working men and women.

Time for These Two Democrats to Go

I'd add the list a couple more scumbags: Mark Penn and Terry McAuliffe. If she called for the heads of these four assholes, the Bernie crowd would probably quit feeling the Bern and see a glimmer of hope instead of dreading Jan 20, 2017.

I don't have a problem with people going for the money or money running things. So far I haven't seen the Democrats hurt working people by their economic policies like the Republicans did when they destroyed a booming surplus, handed over a crisis and then stalled the recovery by filibustering (see one of my recent posts for a detailed description.)

(...They were handed a booming surplus, cut revenue thinking this would go into jobs not bubble, put wars on credit, established a debt trajectory over the next several administrations, handed over an economic crisis, said, "No more borrowing," instead of co-operating like the Democrats do they filibustered 68 times in the Senate when the Democrats had control to slow the recovery for Obama (and us) out of fear (weaklings,) envy and racism (in their genes (more weaklings,)) and then went about crying, "Failed Stimulus," when it was only they who killed it. They succeeded in their deception and won in the midterms of 2010 and 2014 further slowing the recovery with their majorities who stuck together 100% and automatically opposed the President's position on everything and now they want to run the very same program exactly again and to concentrate wealth further.)

I believe Hillary when she says if her donors think they can dictate her policy then they don't know her.

Fair enough...I certainly can't find any flaw in that reasoning.

Ya, but too bad, it looks like Sanders is going to pull into the lead on the same schedule did Obama so it's mute. I hope Sanders has it together and doesn't get bogged down (changed by) in Washington.

I don't see Sanders taking the lead, at all.

So you closed your eyes when the ACA came out. Maybe 90$ the first year you don't have insurance, $300 the second, $600 the third doesn't hurt you if you are independently wealthy. But it sure hurts people who work for their money and can't afford their employer's overpriced insurance.
For the most part, this administration has ignored the Middle Class and that hurts everybody. That, at least, isn't a Democrat only problem, its a problem that Congress and the Democrats decided to whine and sit in their corners and do nothing for the American people for the last several years.
Clinton is going to be status quo. This article proves it. They want her to tackle things that affect, specifically, the Democratic party. Who cares about the DNC or what they want?
In the scope of things it is petty to make any of this a priority.
This is why people vote for Sanders because people don't give a crap about the DNC or its tyrannical hold on the Democrat party.

I don't see Sanders taking the lead, at all.
Sanders is hedging on more Super Delegates. I'm not sure how or if he could close the lead with the popular vote though. And I think Clinton was preordained anyhow which is very unfortunate for everyone.

People can't afford ACA because of the Republicans stalling the recovery as I've described before:

They were handed a booming surplus, cut revenue thinking this would go into jobs not bubble, put wars on credit, established a debt trajectory over the next several administrations, handed over an economic crisis, said, "No more borrowing," instead of co-operating like the Democrats do they filibustered 68 times in the Senate when the Democrats had control to slow the recovery for Obama (and us) out of fear (weaklings,) envy and racism (in their genes (more weaklings,)) and then went about crying, "Failed Stimulus," when it was only they who killed it.

Good luck to Sanders.

It will never happen... Clinton is a Dem. machine politician all the way and there's one thing the Dem. machine won't tolerate and that's public in-fighting. Doing this would put Hillary on the outs with the Dem. machine and she'll never do that. We all saw what happens when the Dem. machine decides on a candidate when Hillary ran against Obama. The Dem. machine put it's blessing on Obama and Hillary faded like a Valentine's Day rose...

But when someone chooses not to buy insurance, lands in the hospital, and cannot pay the bill....the hospital negotiates for higher fees per service later, and insurers raise their premium. The people who chose to buy their employers overpriced insurance end up subsidizing the people who decide they don't want to buy it. The mandate was aimed at that.
 
She should also apologize for Benghazi.
She should also apologize for the crooked funds to the Clinton Foundation.
She should apologize for her private email server.
She should apologize for proving that her marriage is nothing more than a "business arrangement."

...but she won't.
 
She still would be Hillary Clinton and it would be impossible to deodorize that stench.
 
1. She should also apologize for Benghazi.
2. She should also apologize for the crooked funds to the Clinton Foundation.
3. She should apologize for her private email server.
4. She should apologize for proving that her marriage is nothing more than a "business arrangement."

...but she won't.
1, Not at all, but the GOP should apologize for politicizing those four dead people.
2. She definitely should divest herself from it.
3. No, since it was commonly done by other Secretaries of State.
4. What business of yours is her marriage?

1. GOP is the one who cut funding for security at embassies.
2. Go get all the crooked funds you can.
3. Right on and so what. Still a slap on the wrist would let her know she did something wrong.
4. Right on. She is a fine example of a liberal marriage. Too bad Woods and Arnold don't know how to come along.
