Where Dems stand on Sanders's single-payer bill

 

Pelosi Declines to Back Bernie Sanders’ Health Bill

shocker

 

lol

 

Anyone listen to the HRC interview on Pod Saves America?

 

for a lesson on the importance of city council members, Google "Canandaigua the birdcage"

I assure you, your votes would count for things.

 

What is the point of this god damn book? I'm honestly confused.

 

To make money

I don't even mean that as a dig at Clinton specifically, but IMO pretty much every politician in her position would write a book like this

 

If Trump had lost, we'd have Trump Television Network by now

In fact, we'll probably still get that after he leaves office

 

Ok I mean yea, it's just making her look so so bad though. Like how did no one on her team think "hey you maybe don't want to compare yourself to Cersei Lannister"? Hillary has never really made me feel anything one way or another towards her, but these quotes from the book have just made her come across so bad to me.

 

I think a lot of dems are getting pissed off right now

 

It's just such a bad look. This is every bit as annoying as Trump constantly bringing up his victory.

 

Great final paragraph with no context of any kind, just thrown in there

 

we already have trump tv.

 

Almost everyone that's read the book has said the full thing, versus just the pull quotes you see on Twitter, is actually an interesting and in-depth view of the election and her brain. Nate Silver and Erin Ryan both have had good takes on it.

 

From her mouth:

 

Hmm yea in hindsight I probably should've considered that of course twitter is pulling out the worst parts of it and out of context. Although it still seems weird to me for her to spend so much time and effort looking back. Edit: which you addressed with your next point, so that's fair, I probably jumped the gun with very little knowledge about what the book was actually about.

 

Yeah, it's interesting. She's self aware but it's even more clear she's the wrong person for this moment in history.

 

She talks about getting drunk, too:

 

Only takeaway was her honesty when saying Trump wants to be like Putin...I was expecting a more politically correct response there. Also thought the guys asked good questions.
