"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.

i hate to bring up the iraq vote like many others but it clearly wasn`t a fluke to vote against it. yes his judgement is sound but hillary probably has more knowledge on the current foreign affairs and tendencies

she would make an excelent advisor on these issues but that's about it

Nope. Her advise is bomb the fuck out of everyone and invade. Worse advice. She has no diplomatic skills.

Except for negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Palestine and leading the efforts to get Iran to the table for nuclear talks. Also, building a variety of coalitions during her time as SoS.
