True, he might have just gotten momentarily confused or flustered after misunderstanding the earlier question about the 3 countries. It happens.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
The original post was about comments Warren made in 2004. The article a poster showed was about a vote in 2001, the follow up article I found was also about 2001.
You have me confused now.

Now we got a sound bite of me after commenting on sound bites! The cycle must go on!
I did point out that he wasn't strong on foreign policy... I ALSO think that his inability to be nuanced about it creates a strong contrast that makes it show.
Can't believe how bad Sanders shit the bed with foreign policy. I think he had the opportunity to win the debate after the first half but he screwed up. The media's already been talking about Clinton's Wall Street donations for the past few days. They might have a new topic now with Sanders' wilful ignorance on foreign policy.
It wasn't a misunderstanding but it's good to see you've conceded at least one of your points.
You just got 24 hour news cycle'd!
Look I don't think anybody expects him to be as strong as Clinton. Nor should his campaign, honestly they should be looking at it as practice should he get the nomination (as I said in the debate thread he won't face anyone as strong in FP as Clinton from the GOP).
But he can't keep running "I didn't vote for Iraq" as a foreign policy platform. He needs to change it up a little, work on his responses.

Oh my...
Was it too subtle, though. You have to be versed already in the subject to understand the attack on the bill Bill signed.
"Did you see Bernie Sanders last night? Nice guy, Bernie. A communist...but nice guy. Kind of reminds me of my grandpa. My grandpa, he used to get a bit confused when you asked him a question. Grandpa, he was great, though, the best, the best. But you know, you kind of had to keep an eye on him. You know, because he was up there in age. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Some of my best friends are Bernie's age. But most of them are retired. They realized it was time to hang it up. But maybe Bernie knows better."

Some people are getting way too good at pretending they are Trump.

Well does it really matter if he signed it though? Congress passed it with a veto proof majority.

I heard Trump's voice when I read that. Good impersonation.

Bernie sounds very weak on foreign policy. The president really spends more time on foreign policy than anything else.

Trump turns 70 in June. Not sure he'd want to use that line of attack.
Yeah, but he has luxurious blond hair and is the most healthy person in the history of the world. And has a hot wife.

I thought it was a hot daughter.
Both, but he can't decide which is hotter.
I know we're not supposed to complain about people in other threads in the here, so don't tempt me.

I've been lurking this thread for a while now. Maybe I'll start posting more since it's an election year!
I think both Bernie or Hillary would be a million times better than the current crop of Republicans. So I'll be extremely happy with either of them as the democratic party's nominee.
The only republican I kinda fear is Rubio, just because he's vanilla enough to fool people into thinking he's not a far right neocon.

Uh. I don't get it. Seems like a pretty standard ad image and phrase for the Republican party. What am I missing?
I read it as take the country back from Ted Cruz before it's too late.
Since he'll have to endorse someone soon:

I think Hillary did much better on the economic and wall street side of things this time around.

Emergency Rooms suck. They didn't even have MSNBC. So, even though I was awake, I didn't get to watch my Queen.

Hopefully it'll be on YouTube or NBC's site tomorrow. From what I read, it was a really good exchange for Bernie. /s

I described it earlier as Palinesque, and I'm not joking. I'll be with Bernie if he ends-up with the nomination, but he scared the shit out of me last night.

I'm not touching that with a ten foot poll. That was ridiculous. Wow.

That wasnt even a hard question, wtf, especially for a (somewhat) isolationist candidate.
Wtf
Also ffs gramps, dont feed the isis bs
I'm so PROUD of my QUEEN.
She needs to fine tune a few more answers. The answer on the speeches is better but still not great. Her answer on the Glass Steagall I thought is getting sharp. She has unfortunate positions on the death penalty (for the primary) and a few other issues. She's never going to be able to dress up the SuperPAC and stuff in a nice way unless she starts framing it as a necessity to beat the republicans. I'm not sure that will be popular.
I don't think she will change the minds of any core Bernie supporters (or even moderately core supporters) but she is not going to let him come out of a debate with MOMENTUM!!! narrative.
She will retaliate by leading a troupe of third graders to ABC headquarters to protest.

I don't think I've read a bad Trump impression yet. It's just way too easy. Just use short, common words, repeat phrases a lot, and be either blusteringly abusive or passive aggressive. Anyone who has heard him speak for five minutes can do it, because he's such a fuckin' simpleton.
You really have to ask why?
The button looks like a swastika.
I do. Other women can raise their voice in US politics and not get any grief over it.

She also suffers from the audacity of ambition. In some circles, any woman who dares think that she is entitled to her own voice is going to be attacked. I think a liberal woman has an even harder time than a more conservative one.

Trump's rambling nonsense, Bernie's eccentric gesticulation, and both of their accents are typically just taken as some sort of endearing. Although, I think it's not just that she's a woman, that's definitely part of it. But it's that she's Hillary Clinton.
Stray thought on the death penalty as I was reading through some coverage. While I think Sanders is right on this, from a political perspective I can see how it could backfire in a general election scenario were he to get to that point. As, for whatever reason, people in the US still support it in the majority.
In particular, I could see a line like how the government shouldn't be involved in "killing" being thrown back by a Rubio or Trump with regard to abortion rights i.e. in GOPspeak:
"So you don't want to kill murderers, but you're fine with killing babies."
I'm not sure if this is in part why Dem candidates generally demur from outright saying it should be banned and instead reserve it as a punishment for the "most heinous crimes." This is, to my knowledge, the position Obama used.

He supports state authorized killing (you know, like against ISIS), just not, I suppose, against US citizens or outside of conventional warfare. I think this is a relatively common viewpoint, particularly in the "progressive caucus". IMO it's a winning argument in the primary but weak in the general. The death penalty is "popular".
