I saw it a different way

Reporter "what do you think Trump away from his visit"
Carson "My luggage, where's my luggage ?"

Trump obviously took his luggage

Bwahahahaha. That's even worse.

Turncoat SOB.....dem's answer to Ron Paul.

Maybe Bernie will get a house in Florida this time...

I didn't say they were "1%er's" but if you honestly believe that owning several highly successful textile businesses means you still can't afford to go to college... I got a former candidate that is promising to give you free tuition!

Link/source please for your claim that Hillary said her family couldn't afford college for her? I've been looking and can't find it.

I'm beginning to wonder if such a quote even exists.



ETA - From Hillary's acceptance speech:

My grandfather worked in the same Scranton lace mill for 50 years. Because he believed that if he gave everything he had, his children would have a better life than he did.

And he was right.

My dad, Hugh, made it to college. He played football at Penn State and enlisted in the Navy after Pearl Harbor.

When the war was over, he started his own small business, printing fabric for draperies. I remember watching him stand for hours over silk screens. He wanted to give my brothers and me opportunities he never had.

And he did.

You are mistaken, that is an alternate time line and Hillary's body double is campaigning for The Bern!

The people slamming him now are the same people that slammed him from the beginning. He still threatens them.

You are totally correct.

They desperately want to see Bernie supporters stomp off and refuse to vote or to vote third party because that helps Trump.

Fomenting the "sellout" meme is strategy.

After Nov when the Dems have won back congress and Trump loses in a spectacular fashion. Bernie will be along to enact the Democratic platform, and America will be on its way to be great for everyone.

As I pointed out Here, Hillary just said at the New Hampshire event with Bernie Sanders, the video linked in the OP, that she couldn't afford to go to college and was forced to work 2-3 jobs so she can relate with millennials. Please!

The Revolution lives on - he just knows that if Trump wins, it's over. If Hillary wins, he can use his base to prod her into keeping the Platform items he pushed for and wants to implement. It's his only chance to make change, and that's what he's about.

Exactly right. I noticed in his speech that he said colleges AND universities, with Clinton nodding behind him.

For the type of revolution and transformation that Bernie has in mind, as the only viable way to meet the crisis head-on, it's very important that his chip is squarely in the game, and I don't doubt for a second that there isn't a position and a role for Bernie Sanders in a Clinton Administration.

These are human problems that require human solutions, and Donald Trump just ain't the solution to the problem and Bernie knows that full well. For him to sit on the sidelines would be to abandon his principals and all the people across the country who agreed with him, that nothing short of a type of revolution and transformation of the status quo will suffice.

We need Bernie Sanders in the oval office one way or another, given who and what he represents and given the degree to which his own platform has been integrated into the Democratic Platform for the Presidency.

I for one was just so glad to see him out there doing his thing and saying what needs to be said.

If Clinton wishes to govern with a mandate, she'll need to be something new and better than what she was before and Bernie's involvement with her campaign is absolutely essential for holding her accountable to the very platform that she's running on.

It's not incongruent in the least then to see him stumping with her, and I for one would like to see more of it.

Yes! What he said. Bingo!

I am sure deep down Bernie does not like Hillary. But I do believe he hates Trump more.

So I am not surprised to see him support Hillary.

However, I think this is a startegic mistake for Bernie.

He had a big movement. He could have took up Jill Steins offer and ran as the Green Party candidate. His biggest issue is big money in politics. The democrats are just as guilty of this as the republicans, and Hillary is the poster childe for establishment candidates. He will help her get elected, and nothing will change.

Had he went with the Green party, he would have probably lost, but who knows? Trump and Hillary are massively unpopular, and I bet he would have got respectable numbers. This would have done more to take money out of politics than anything. It would have been the first blow in shattering the establishment.

Now if Hillary is elected and she continues to be a puppet of the elite, he will have to live with his decision.

On a different note, this free college for everyone will be a massive failure.

I am 32, and I remember all of my friends my age when I was in college going on about how awesome it was going to be to get free health care. I told them, nothing is free, and that it will end up costing you more in the future.

Now almost everytime I see one of them they are complaining about how much they spend on health care, or more often about how they have to pay the fine every year for not having health care.

Free goodies sound good, but they never work out in the end.

Maybe you are just use to the lack of Unity in your Party.

Ok then. I will have to see/hear the actual quote rather than having it filtered through you, though. Your take-away might not be the same as mine.

The question is, DID she work multiple jobs during her college years??

FirstLadies.org - Hillary Rodham Clinton

As a young woman, Hillary Rodham worked as a babysitter both after school and during her vacation breaks, sometimes watching the children of migrant Mexicans brought to the Chicago area for itinerant work.

She worked at various jobs during her summers as a college student, once in a canning factory in Alaska, in 1969.

Yikes. A canning factory? Whew. She started by sliming guts, but they said she wasn't fast enough, so they put her on the conveyer belt. She got yelled at, she says, when she started asking about the cleanliness of the fish.

Clinton worked several very different jobs during her summers in college. According to FirstLadies.org, Clinton spent the summer of 1969 working in a canning factory in Alaska. In the summer of 1971, Clinton worked on a subcommittee for Sen. Walter Mondale in Washington, D.C.

About Hillary Clinton
Taken from Newsweek: LINK

So there isn't a good list of what she did other than childcare and a fish cannery and washing dishes (both in Alaska immediately after Graduation from Wellesley).

Another article said she helped her dad in the fabric printing business too.

In Debbie Wasserman Schultz's neighborhood.

I really liked him but now that I see he likes that money like she does because he supports her, what a sell out.
