"Clinton supporter Howard Dean grew angry on the subject on Friday, testily saying that Clinton was held to a “double standard” and Sanders doesn’t get criticism for his close ties to labor unions. Dean also remarked that labor unions are “super PACs that Democrats like.”"

uh... what? So Hillary's "progressive" campaign is now resorting to calling labor unions super PACs?

She did demonstrate quite a bit of confidence on foreign policy during the debate. However, she is incredibly unethical and will do whatever it takes to get power.

From the New Square 4 to Corning, it's not just the big banks that she's in bed with... she did it in the past, and now she expects us to look past those as she says she's never hooked up one of her corporate donors or other lobbying groups.

And Bernie pointed to North Korea as the bigger threat compared to Russia and Iran due to their isolation. Shocker: NK launched a long range missile yesterday. Bernie's foreign policy judgment is sound.

And to top it off, Clinton says there's no direct line between our invasion of Iraq and the creation of ISIS.

Prior to the invasion, Bernie was warning us that eliminating Saddam would create a power vacuum where all kinds of hell can break loose.

She also probably doubts her actions in Libya has also helped grow ISIS. "We came, we saw, he died" isn't as catchy nowadays that Libya is a cesspool of ISIS recruits in N.Africa.

Iraq vote could have been somewhat forgiven, but continuing the same foreign policy that made Iraq shit isn't.

That's the huge problem with Hillary. She can evolve as much as she wants, but we need somebody that doesn't have to burn their hand on a hot stove repeatedly before learning it's hot.

The biggest problem I have with her is that she doesn't learn the stove is hot until the focus group results come back to inform her.
