In first one-on-one Democratic debate Clinton, Sanders cover Wall Street, foreign policy, emails and more (1829 hits)


DURHAM, N.H. — Both Democratic presidential candidates said that the federal government should intervene in the crisis in Flint, Mich., where mismanagement by state and local authorities allowed toxic lead to enter drinking water on a massive scale.

“Of course the federal government comes in, and of course the federal government says, ‘You’re not going to be poisoning little kids and ruining their entire lives,’ ” said Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) during Thursday night’s presidential debate. He called for the resignation of Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R), whose administration has been widely blamed for allowing the crisis to escalate. Sanders added: “One wonders, if this were a white suburban community, what kind of response there would have been.” Flint is largely poor and has a significant number of African American residents.

Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton agreed with Sanders’s call for federal interventon, saying that the federal government ought to intervene, both to give residents clean water and to allow children affected by lead poisoning to have extra health-care and educational assistance.

Clinton said she would seek to bill the state for these federal services if the state is too slow to provide them.


“There have to be ways that we can begin to move, and then make them pay for it, and hold them accountable,” Clinton said.

My Take on Tonight’s Democratic Presidential Debate http://kristof.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/02/0...

Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
This has got to be one of the worst, most boring debates I've ever seen. Just one big happy family, candidates and moderators alike.

Steve Williams
Stop being a hater Steven, their was more information shared with the people on programs to run the country then you ever saw come out from the republican clown car debates.


Friday, February 5th 2016 at 8:16AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Ron, the moderators weren't objective. I told you that would be especially the case with Rachel. When Chuck Todd finally asked about the emails, he was apologetic, and of course he didn't ask the right question. What do you think Obama and Sanders talked about during their meeting? The email scandal effect on the Democratic Party, maybe? What the hell does this email business have to do with being a hater? That's how Hillary is trying to spin it, but I'm not some damn Repulican Ron, try and get that.
Friday, February 5th 2016 at 10:00AM
Steve Williams
And of course at the end, there was Rachel's hug to seal the bargain.

Steve Williams
The difference in this debate was that the people learned and enjoyed both Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders talking to the people with out getting into negative personalities scrabbles., they stayed on point and to the issues.

Steven I know very well that you are a libertarian and the libertarians caucus in lock step with the republican party. OH!!! How I know well, who I am talking to Steven and don't you ever forget that, do you understand me?

As far as what President Obama and Sanders was talking about was the future direction of this country.

What E-mail scandal? Don't you remember that Hillary Clinton testified 11 hours before a congressional committee of republicans and she put that issue to rest with a smile on her face, did I mention after 11 grueling hours.




Friday, February 5th 2016 at 11:40AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Let me try again Ron, and I hope someone is listening. The issue was never about anything but the security on her server. It should have been secured to the same level as any State Department server handling unclassified but sensitive information. IT WAS NOT! That doesn't have anyting to do with your damn political classifications, it has to do with the security of the country. Get it?
Friday, February 5th 2016 at 12:23PM
Steve Williams
Stop acting like a troll Steven. This blog is a free flowing conversation and this floor is open to the issues and not directed to one point. Did you see this news breaking article on Powell and rice? Hillary followed the same practice on E-mails as they did but none of that was brought up in last nights debates.

Also Steven, don't lose the point this conversation was talking about the subject of the E-mails brought up in last nights debates. Was the security of the country ever in question, Steven?

Just to bring you up to speed, take a look at this link when you get a chance.

State Department: Powell, Rice also Received Classified Info via Personal Email - See more at: http://ticklethewire.com/2016/02/05/state-...


Friday, February 5th 2016 at 1:02PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
All the candidates claim they're qualified to be commander-in-chief. hillary is the least qualified because she can't even secure a server, much less, the State.
Friday, February 5th 2016 at 2:04PM
Steve Williams
WOW! I don't believe you had the nerve to risk your creditability to say that BS. Sen. Bernie Sanders Hillary Clinton is better to lead the country that anyone on the Republican side.

By the way Steven, who would be your choice in this primary?




Friday, February 5th 2016 at 2:35PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Ron, have you ever heard any Republican, any mediaperson, say what I've said about Hillary's email? Don't feel bad, Ted Cruz has been abusing email too.
Friday, February 5th 2016 at 4:10PM
Steve Williams
I don't feel bad Steven but why have you over looked my question to you?

Who would be your choice in this primary?



Friday, February 5th 2016 at 4:19PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
My choice in the primary, if I were a Republican, would be Trump. But I'm not a Republican and I'm not going to be a Republican just to vote for Trump. If I were a Democrat I'd vote for Bernie, but I'm not a Democrat neither. So my vote doesn't count until the general in November.
Friday, February 5th 2016 at 8:35PM
Steve Williams
By the way, that slimey nasty Cruz has got my email address and I didn't give it to him.
Friday, February 5th 2016 at 8:39PM
Steve Williams
I don't like Cruz neither. Bernie Sanders is constant and consistent with his policies.



Friday, February 5th 2016 at 9:54PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Why Bernie?
Saturday, February 6th 2016 at 7:43AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
I like Donald and Bernie for the same reasons. They are both elderly. Trump isn't a Republican and Sanders isn't a Democrat. They both draw large crowds and say outrageous things that will never happen, like "ban the Muslims" and "free tuition for all".
Saturday, February 6th 2016 at 10:25AM
Steve Williams
Steven, focus your attention on what I asked you, OK!

"WHY BERNIE?"


Saturday, February 6th 2016 at 10:53AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Because he's a 74 year old curmudgeon.
Saturday, February 6th 2016 at 11:08AM
Steve Williams
Is that all Steven really, what about his policies on running the country?


Saturday, February 6th 2016 at 11:31AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Policies don't matter at this point, only leadership.
Saturday, February 6th 2016 at 2:51PM
Steve Williams
WHAT!!! policies don't matter, WOW!!! That is the same BS was said when Hitler came to power.


Saturday, February 6th 2016 at 4:41PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Ron, I said "at this point".
Saturday, February 6th 2016 at 10:48PM
Steve Williams
I saw that Steven, "At This Point", WHAT!!! policies don't matter, WOW!!! That is the same BS was said when Hitler came to power.

"At This Point'"


Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 8:35AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
I know what a great believer of polls you are Ron. It's been all about polls, not policy, and Trump is the clear leader.
Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 10:22AM
Steve Williams
Hay Ron, what do you think about drafting young women?
Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 11:44AM
Steve Williams
No Steven don't try to run from that statement of yours: "Policies don't matter at this point, only leadership"

Most of What Donald Trump Says is B.S., Fact-Checking Website Says PolitiFact checked 77 Trump statements and found that 76 percent of them were Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire. http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015-1...

Do you think that Hitler LIED to his people this much or you don't care about how much Donald LIES, is about leadership? STEVEN, this is his Leadership, LIES at 76 percent of the time, you can not trust the things that spews out of the mouth of Donald.

Steven, Less than a quarter of the things The Donald says is the truth and you want this man as the lead of the Republican Party for president? WOW!


Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 11:55AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Ron, if we're lucky, the contest will be between Donald and Bernie. You're a pretty hardcore Democrat aren't you? Vote for Bernie.
Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 12:02PM
Steve Williams
Vote for Bernie and In God We Trust.
Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 12:05PM
Steve Williams
Why don't you want to clear up this statement of your Steven?

Policies don't matter at this point, only leadership.
Saturday, February 6th 2016 at 2:51PM

STEVEN, this is his Leadership, LIES at 76 percent of the time, you can not trust the things that spews out of the mouth of Donald. 76 % of the time, Donald is telling you a damn LIE and you are OK with that, WHY? I want to understand WHY Steven.

Steven, Less than a quarter of the things The Donald says is the truth and you want this man as the lead of the Republican Party for president? WOW!


Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 1:16PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
I don't have that faith that you do Ron, in the polls.
Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 2:55PM
Steve Williams
They are making a h-u-g-e fuss in New Hampshire about voter ID. Why? You need one for everything else you do and voting is at least as important as driving a car or flying on a plane. Right?
Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 3:24PM
Steve Williams
You still want to run from the FACT that you have no reason to support a man that will LIE to you at a rate of 76% of the time and only 24% of the time will be tell truth and you want the nerve to try to make him the leader of the most powerful nation in the world.

I really see that you would want to talk about voter ID in New Hampshire as a distraction from why in the world why you want to support a HUGH LIAR. WHY IS THAT STEVEN?


Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 3:40PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
What do you think about the Republicans wanting to draft young women? I think Donald joined with the rest of them, didn't he? What would Hillary say?
Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 5:37PM
Steve Williams
Why do you support a man that will LIE to you in your face Steven some 76% of the times, Why would you do that?


Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 5:59PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
I thought you wanted to talk about policy Ron?
Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 7:01PM
Steve Williams
I been attempting to do that for a few hours now, Steven but you ran to Republicans wanting to draft young women and before that it was New Hampshire about voter ID and before that it was me being hardcore Democrat. You Steven, have been quit busy today avoiding the of the policies of The Donald who have been found to tell a LIE to the American people some 76%.

Now, what policies of Donald Trump's you care to explore Steven?





Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 7:33PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
I don't think of them as lies Ron, I think of them as tall stories. I guess I was remembering wrong though, Trump wasn't one of the ones questioned about the draft. Who do you support on the Republican side?
Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 7:52PM
Steve Williams
Why are you justifying LIES as "tall stories?" You are a grown man Steven and not a kid. When do TALL STORIES become a LIES to you Steven? 76% of was this man is saying to you is LIES and the sad part about what you said is, you are hoping that I buy your LIE about "TAIL STORIES." That will not work here Steven.

Steven, here's what I will do. I will your last comments in the pile of 💩 column. (LOL)


Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 8:29PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Ron, do you think Donald really believes he can ban Muslims? The most dangerous politicians are the sneaky ones, like Obama and Hillary.
Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 9:26PM
Steve Williams
What I believe that Donald will create is, a unhealthy atmosphere here in the United States, where weak bigots, racist, among Americans will feel more comfortable to hate again. The corporations and the oligarchs will take more advantage of the tax base, which will create more jobs to be lost, like what happen under the Republican run BUSH Administration, where deregulation happen and the tax payers had to bell out the banks and those LIES that / "TAIL STORIES." got us into war in Iraq and created ISIS in the first place. I am sure that you remember that, don't you Steven?

I see more LIES at a rate of 76% coming out of Donald and this man is just running for his party nomination to run for president. Is this a man who carries your values Steven?




Sunday, February 7th 2016 at 10:30PM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Obama should have been thinking ahead when when he and the Democrats ran roughshod over the People those first two years he was in office. Then he lost the House and still didn't learn his lesson, then he lost the Senate and still didn't learn. So now the Republicans will get bigger majorities in Congress, and Donald Trump will be President. There you have it Ron, these dumbass political parties never learn, and the People continue to ride the pendulum, back and forth, back and forth. Give up your party affiliation Ron and quit complaining.

You'd think from the way the Democrats talk, that bin Laden sprang into existence in 2000.

In 1988, he formed al-Qaeda.[12] He was banished from Saudi Arabia in 1992, and shifted his base to Sudan, until U.S. pressure forced him to leave Sudan in 1996. After establishing a new base in Afghanistan, he declared a war against the United States, initiating a series of bombings and related attacks.[13]

Hey Ron, I just remembered that I was living in New Hamshire in 1984 when I cast my vote for Reagan's second term. If I were there now I'd be able to cast my vote for Trump. He will be an even greater President than Reagan.
Tuesday, February 9th 2016 at 9:42AM

absolutely amazing I asked you one question do Donald Trump reflect your values?


Tuesday, February 9th 2016 at 9:55AM
Dea. Ron Gray Sr.
Absolutely.

Hey Ron, Donald used the P Word. Wow, what a followup to Two Corinthians.
Tuesday, February 9th 2016 at 11:32AM

You still have not answered my question of: "Do Donald Trump reflect your values?"



Tuesday, February 9th 2016 at 4:29PM
