One word would describe Hillary Clinton’s Saturday sit-down with the New York Daily News editorial board: Boring! And that’s a good thing.
The 80-minute wonkfest with the two-term former senator from the Empire State was notably different from the editorial board meeting with Sen. Bernie Sanders a week earlier. That gathering was gasp-worthy for the Vermont Independent’s seeming inability to talk beyond his stump speech. Clinton had the opposite issue. She could talk — and talk and talk — about anything in thoughtful paragraphs stuffed with details.
Jonathon Capehart then goes on to lay out some of the questions that Clinton effortlessly knocked out of the park, which you can read for yourself by clicking that link at the top.
At the end Capehart sums it all up thusly:
Clinton talked about the broader economy, the U.S. relationship with Israel, mass incarceration and other issues during her Saturday visit at the Daily News. But I highlight her responses on the banks and college affordability to show that even on Sanders’s turf, Clinton has ideas, plans, something to say. When Sanders was asked about foreign policy, Clinton’s domain as a former secretary of state, he more than disappointed. “I don’t know the answer to that,” Sanders said when asked whether President Obama had “the right policy” in dealing with the Islamic State.
Daily News columnist Linda Stasi wrote over the weekend that Clinton was “as totally well informed as you expect her to be.” That’s not nearly as exciting as listening to a presidential candidate walk through policy like one walks on thin ice. But at this stage in the nomination contest, I’ll take “totally well informed” and the boredom that goes with it than the worrisome alternative.
Boring, well informed, confident, I'll take those attributes as positives for our next President.
You can read the New York Daily News article for yourself right here.
Next argument will be "don't vote for Hillary...she's too overqualified!".
ReplyDeleteDefine "overqualified." Which one is she overqualified for: Warmongering? Big bank kisses? Federal Reserve handover to Goldman Sachs? Keystone XL? Big Oil? Kissing the Saudi's ass for money when they are fanning the jihad flames? Which one is she overqualified in? I'd say pretty much all. Enough to make her non-electable.

DeleteFYI, simply repeating your argument doesnt make it stronger...
The odd thing is that the Daily News wasn't even trying to trap Bernie Sanders- he just didn't have a clue, he came off like Trump at the WashPost.
ReplyDeleteIt was cringe-worthy. Considering economic reform is the central focus of his campaign (with little else), he should know this stuff backward and forward. If the interviewer got something wrong, Sanders should be able to correct him. It did not instill confidence.
DeleteShe really understands the intersection of race, class, and gender. Women make less money than men. Black women make less than White women. its much more complicated than rich vs poor, 1% vs everyone else.
ReplyDeleteWHO IS BERNIE SANDERS?
ReplyDeleteBernie Sanders is the 2016 SARAH PALIN.
All they know what to do is repeat their same old tired stump speech.
Hillary is incredibly poised.
ReplyDeleteWHAT?! You are kidding right? POISED gets her your vote? Poised when she murders innocents in Yemen, Libya? Poised when she takes money from Goldman Sachs to screw the general public? Poised when she signs deals to make it easier for big corps to offshore tax money and our jobs? POISED?! Is that POISED?
DeleteYou are a liar, @3:25. She was working for Obama and his directives in Yemen & Libya. Are you calling our President a murderer? Are you?
DeleteWhere are Bernie's tax returns, if he's so knowledgable about finances, eh? WHERE ARE THEY?
Oh please...you are regurgitating either BS talking points or the RuThugs talking point. Nothing original here!
Delete"Welcome to my parlor, said the spider to the fly." I don't trust ANY of them.
DeleteAre you kidding 3:25? Clinton strongly advocated the US getting involved in Libya and Obama even says he made his decision based on her recommendations. That is a fact and it's just getting ridiculous how many well-established facts about Clinton are being forgotten by her supporters or they're pretending. It's shocking what you all will do and say to promote your queen and denigrate a good, decent man because he's giving her a run for her money.
Delete4:45 - you are seriously confused about the functions of the CIA, the DIA, the Department of Defense, the Pentagon, the State Department, and the President's Cabinet in regards to the President and foreign policy.
DeleteThey've all turned on Obama. Just following Bernie's lead.
DeleteIs Bernie your king?
DeleteIt's ridiculous to come at people with that kind of rhetoric because they support someone in an election.
It sounds like Republicans who would accuse Dems of seeing Obama as our savior.
Very immature and meant to shut down any dialog.
Anonymous3:25 PM,
DeleteYou are an idiot and a slanderous liar.
A good decent man who's been married twice, had a live in in between, and has done what exactly in 30 years? Has he passed anything, or even written anything akin to what his big policies are now? Why not? And why does he keep switching parties? Seems to me he's got some explaining to do, and where are his tax returns?
DeleteNo 5:01, it is you who is confused or uninformed.
Delete"Her conviction would be critical in persuading Mr. Obama to join allies in bombing Colonel Qaddafi’s forces. In fact, Mr. Obama’s defense secretary, Robert M. Gates, would later say that in a “51-49” decision, it was Mrs. Clinton’s support that put the ambivalent president over the line."

DeleteNo. 7:52 - the President made the decision; the Cabinet debated it. I appreciated reading this, though; Bernie has no foreign policy experience like Hillary does, which is outlined in such detail here.
DeleteYou're losing me as a reader.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in political news, but not when it's just an ad for your favorite candidate.
See you around.
Where are the democratic standards? What we have in the Democratic party is the fight that normally was duked out during the primary. Big business(R) against working people(D). NOW- we have a war hawk, pro banks pro fracking pro business (H) against the working people. She has no interest in the working people. She is what a Repub would be a decade ago. WHY are people standing behind her? She is a close personal friend and takes advice from a WAR CRIMINAL- Nixon's Kissinger. They go on vacay together. WTH? WHY WHY would you bend over and accept this as a Democrat? I've been a Dem my whole life. Very liberal. This is not the party I started with. I was NEVER pro big banks, pro war, pro big oil. I'm not a part of this and I won't sell out the Dems. (what's left of them). I endorse Sanders. He is a 74 yr old man that has spent his life working for the people. Our parties are in such bad shape that he had to come out and run against her, because she is SO not in tune with the people. He didn't want to run, but no one else was going to run against the machine. He has the courage to stand for what is right, and I stand with him.
DeleteBut will you stick the flounce?
DeleteSee you tomorrow!
DeleteLol. Read pro- Sanders blogs. Problem solved. It's a blog - the writer has a POV. Not sure why you don't get that.
Deletelol, typical Bernie bot. The link is to an INTERVIEW that Bernie's competition had. That isn't an ad, now go clean your room and the rest of the basement and make your Mom proud today.
DeleteBye bye, Bernie Bro.
DeleteBut it seems by being upset that Gryphen linked to Bernie's opponents interview that you don't believe in the Democratic process.
Anon 3:30, I think I love you!! ;)
DeleteI'm not a Bernie Bro. I'm a middle aged mom and I protested with my small son when Bush dropped the bombs on Iraq. I was told to leave AmeriKa if I didn't like it. Sheeple decided to shun me while they stuck yellow ribbon magnets on their cars. I had my car keyed when I had an Obama sticker on it in 08. So, I have swam upstream before. I'll be able to tell you I told you so in a year or two, just like the peeps that were rah rah USA when we pulverized an innocent country.
DeleteI agree with 3:14, but I understand that this is a blog and will be reflective of Gryphen's opinions. I respect that, but will just pick and choose which threads I read and comment on. I support Bernie Sanders and like 3:14, I have tired of reading the pro-Hillary/anti-Bernie stories, so I will simply skip over them.
DeleteI will continue to open IM every day, to see if Gryphen has finally taken Palin down. Hope springs eternal!
That screen door hurts when it smacks you in the butt, 3:14 PM, doesn't it?
DeleteAnyone who won't vote for the 2016 Democratic ticket after Bernie loses the primary is more of a narcissist than a socialist. Does the Supreme Court matter to our general welfare? You bet it does, much more than "personal purity in politics."
DeleteI agree with 3:14. And for those denigrating that person with "sticking the flounce" and "screen door in the butt" should be ashamed. Save your venom for the Palins instead of your own. Clinton cannot win without every person who has or will vote for Sanders. You should be kissing our asses if you're so convinced it's a done deal for Clinton. But I don't think you are convinced. I think you're scared shitless that the old socialist might just win. Either way, you're lashing out at the wrong people.
Delete@ anon 4:54pm
DeleteIf you are waiting around for someone to kiss your ass I would suggest you run and ask your Mommy. Try acting like an adult and you just way earn some respect. BTW you have no intention of voting for Hillary so why the fuck should I pretend I like anything about Dead beat Dad Bernard ( that's what he requires his son to call him).
4:20 is very reasonable. I do the same thing at certain blogs that are leaning Sanders.
DeleteDitto 3:14. The hard-on Gryph has for this phony bitch can be seen from Russia
Delete7:06 - thanks for your misogyny, dude bro!
DeleteHillary is a very smart woman, with vast and varied experience, both in government and in working with people. She will make an excellent President.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of her and feel fortunate she is willing to serve. (1969 Wellesley rah!)
DeleteI am so hoping for a Clinton/Warren ticket. That is the ticket that would ride the train all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping for a Clinton/Castro ticket myself. I feel that if Julian was on the ticket we could turn every southern red state with a high Hispanic population blue. I really, really think we need Warren where she is and it also seems she is content there. Now if Warren would have taken a run at the top spot I think it would be a very difficult decision for me on who to support.
DeleteWarren wouldn't touch her with a 10-foot pole. She is AGAINST Wall St., which provides Clinton's bread and butter. Clinton is already working with Goldman Sachs to appoint their selection in the US Treasury. More fleecing to come. Warren went to her when she was 1st lady with information regarding the credit card scamming of Americans by big banks. Hillary was with her and understood the importance of the bill not being passed. She became Senator, and guess what? She passed the bill. You can view it yourself. Google Elizabeth Warren on Bill Moyers' show.
Delete3:47 -- I completely agree!! I've been hoping for that pairing all along.
DeleteI love Elizabeth Warren, but I'm afraid that even in this day and age two women would sink the ticket. I absolutely hate this, but I think it's going to be an issue with Hilary alone, as well.
I say this as a woman who works in a largely male area--architecture/engineering--and who hears such opinions expressed on a regular basis by "the guys".
4:07'- Warren is for Hillary; that's why she's not running now. She said as much in 2014.
DeleteReally? http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/3/31/1508844/-BREAKING-ELIZABETH-WARREN-ENDORSES-BERNIE-SANDERS-FOR-PRESIDENT
DeleteChamberlain also said Warren’s decision not to endorse Clinton yet is actually an implicit endorsement of Sanders.
Delete“She’s the only female senator who has not made an endorsement of Hillary Clinton. That’s almost an endorsement right there,” he said. “It is saying, flat out, that I won’t just go along to get along.” http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/271577-sen-warren-takes-heat-on-clinton-sanders-battle
“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
Delete"I haven’t endorsed a candidate and I’m not going to do a backdoor endorsement that way," she snapped, referring to the location. When asked if she thought Sanders should drop out, she said: "I’m still cheering Bernie on." http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/03/28/warren_still_wont_endorse_hillary_im_still_cheering_bernie_on.html
DeleteWhy Elizabeth Warren can’t endorse Hillary Clinton
DeleteIn a 2004 interview with Bill Moyers, Warren accused Clinton, then a senator from New York, of voting for a bankruptcy bill that was sought by the financial industry and that Clinton had previously opposed as first lady.
Asked why Clinton switched, Warren blamed the financial industry donations lining Clinton’s war chest. Of the big banks, Warren said Clinton “worries about them as a constituency.”
For Warren to endorse Clinton in the primary, she’d have to repudiate not only the anti-Wall Street crusade that carried her into office, but also her own words.
There’s another reason for Warren to keep her distance. Clinton has refused to release the transcripts of her private speeches. Who knows what they contain? One attendee told Politico that Clinton in her remarks sounded “like a Goldman Sachs managing director.” https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2016/02/11/why-warren-can-endorse-clinton/sHTFHWzQosvaTDzXSGnFCI/story.html
4:46 - that was an April Fool joke. Did you even read it? Haha. Warren would never endorse Sanders, esp. now that the campaign has collapsed!
DeleteWarren doesn't want to be Vice President.
DeleteIt's interesting that anyone is claiming Warren not endorsing Clinton means she supports Sanders. But when she didn't support Sanders before the Mass. primary, her FB page was filled with Sanders supporters calling her a shill for Hillary. I guess when you're a Sanders supporter, you can have it both ways.
http://www.politicususa.com/2016/03/03/left-turning-progressive-hero-senator-elizabeth-warren-emoprogs.html - March 2016 -?Warren under attack from Bernie Bros for supporting Clinton.

DeleteAnonymous4:46 PM,
DeleteYou truly are an idiot. Does someone need to hit you with an "April Fools" bat?
4:17 let me guess... office manager.
Delete'zackly right, Elizabeth Warren doesn't want to be VP or any other P. She never intended to go into politics until she was unfairly shafted by the Obama Administration. Now she is using that unexpected power and her lifetime of experience and her passion- and doing an excellent job.
DeleteWarren is a very smart woman. She doesn't completely agree with either candidate, but she will come out strong for whomever gets the nomination...yes, even Clinton.
DeleteWowza!!!! I didn't think I was going to read the whole interview (it's long, wasn't sure I had time) but boy, I'm glad I did. This was the most comprehensive & interesting policy position I've ever seen. Every issue seems doable, even in our current congressional climate. She is simply the most well-informed knowledgeable candidate we've had in a long time. For me, Pres. Obama will always be my favorite, but she can skip right over the learning curve he had when he first entered office. Now, I don't particularly "like" Hillary, but dayum - she'll make a hell of a president. She's not a caricature, she's not "bought & paid for", she's a woman who has gotten very far because of smarts & savvy in a brutal environment. Has she made mistakes? Yes, but I don't hold my leaders to a standard that I can't even match. Go Hills!
ReplyDeleteBbbbbbut...they tricked Bernie with all those hard questions and by expecting answers according to the Bernie Bros and hos ( which I would like to point out is the same excuse Sara Palin supporters always used).
ReplyDeleteYep! Shoot, $arah can't even answer questions she gets in advance anymore.

Ted Cruz, While Better Than Donald Trump, Would Be a Catastrophically Bad Nominee
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump would probably be the worst candidate any major party has ever nominated — grossly uninformed, disorganized, personally and ideologically repellent to a majority of the public, and so unreliably attached to its core agenda he could potentially blow the party apart. Ted Cruz would be a much better choice. But there is a huge gap between “much better” and “good.” Cruz would not be a good nominee. He’d be very, very bad.

Hillary Clinton Abandoning Education Reform
ReplyDeleteNew York is a hotbed of anti-testing activism, especially in affluent suburban districts, where parents who equate testing with excessive curriculum pressure have joined forces with teachers unions who see standardized tests as a tool that subjects them to unwanted accountability. Hillary Clinton has already distanced herself from the education-reform movement, which is a predictable course of action for a Democrat facing a contested primary. The looming New York primary has raised the pressure for her to placate the burgeoning “opt-out” movement, which encourages students to boycott standardized tests. Bill Clinton asserted last week that even one national test per year is too many. “The idea of having to give a national test every year for five years in a row for people from the third to the eighth grade doesn’t make as much sense as investing the same amount of money in helping the teachers to be better teachers.”
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/04/hillary-clinton-abandoning-education-reform.html
I live in MI. Last year, our juniors had 16 hours of tests over three weeks. Inanition to being scheduling nightmare (and how do you do makeups for the inevitable sick kids?) the tests were dumb. This year, juniors took the SAT and a work skills test over two days. 9 and 10 take the PSAT in a morning. Done.
DeleteMy kids graduated 20 years ago, and were both very intelligent. My daughter always came homemaking fun of the idiotic tests. She got a 1560 on the SAT (out of 1600 at the time) including a perfect score on the language portion. She was a National merit scholar, got free tuition at a private school and then free tuition at law school Make our schools better, and kids will be able to get into college instead of remedial classes, and they will have the grades to earn scholarships instead of going into debt. Also, parents, SAVE MONEY for birth for them. My kids had zero college debt, and our son went to a Big 10 school with about 1/4 in scholarships. There was even money left over in his account for a down payment on his first home.

ReplyDeleteHow many political parties has Bernie Sanders been in? Bernie Sanders is hoping the Democratic Party is the winner for him this time. It has to be. Bernie Sanders will be 75 years old president if he win and if he loses he is too old to switch to another party and run in 2020.
ReplyDeleteHe's already switched out of the Democratic party for his next Senate run. He filed as an Independent.
DeleteBernie is running as a DEmocrat for two reasons, to use them for his own needs ( notice he is NOT out there stumping for other candidates) and for the $$$$$ he is getting from the DNC. He is nothing but a fraud, an angry old white fraud.
DeleteSanders gladly accepted money from the Democratic Senate Campaign to help win his election in 2006. I'm sure he was very careful to only take the dollar bills not donated by wall street firms.

DeleteHere's what I believe after watching the interview: Clinton was not just prepared, she was uncannily well-prepared. She is not generally that fast on her feet. The fix was in. Her pal Mort Zuckerman, owner of NYDN, with whom she and Bill vacation on Martha's Vineyard, made sure she got the questions in advance.
ReplyDeleteBS and as for the questions ALL of those questions not only should be expected by a presidential candidate and they all should be able to handle them.
DeleteBernie is a doddering old man.
DeleteWhat bullshit. You're grasping at straws.
DeleteEveryone who has worked with Clinton says she knows her stuff. She is always extremely prepared for everything and just has a lot of knowledge. People call her extremely wonky.
Agree. A little TOO good. Mort is a LONG time backer of the Clintons.
DeleteFace it: she's smarter than all of us.
DeleteThere's always a fuckin excuse for Bernie. The "fix" is always in as far as his supporters are concerned. Every comment in support of Hillary is "paid for". Hell, I'm expecting my Hillary support cheque any minute now. I don't know what I will do with my $.05.
DeleteOh bull. Watch her with Charlie Rose on PBS. The woman is brilliant.

DeleteOh, isn't that cute. You have a little cartoon avatar. Are you consoling yourself with Sanders since Rand Paul dropped out?
She's not typically fast on her feet? Did you borrow that crap from the tea party slinging shit at Obama?
DeleteTonight Sanders is giving another speech to thousands of regular people in New York while Clinton left the campaign trail to go to another one of her high dollar fundraisers in Florida.
ReplyDeleteOn April 15th, Bernie Sanders will be speaking at the Vatican. While will Clinton will be at a fundraiser in Los Angeles where it's $33,500 to get in and $353,400 to sit at table with George and Amal Clooney.
There's no doubt who would represent the People and who is beholden to and would serve the oligarchs.
LOL, like the Vatican isn't the largest oligarth in the world!
Delete1) He will NOT be speaking at the VATICAN. He will be speaking at a side meeting and will not be meeting the pope.
Delete2) his campaign asked for the invitation and using their connections who hate Obama and Hillary, went over the head of the person who was organizing the meeting
3) WHY WOULD BERNIE SANDERS WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH AN ORGANIZATION THAT PROTECTS PEDOPHILES AND COVERS UP ABUSE?????
Sanders said he's meeting the pope! (He's not).
DeleteIt's a obvious attempt to get the Vatican to influence the election.
It is unfortunate that this group at the Vatical fell for the Bernie Sanders' campaign ploy. It makes a mockery of politics. In some ways, Bernie Sanders' campaign is very similar to Donald Trump's.
DeleteBeaglemom
Clinton's so tonedeaf she allowed herself to be photographed again with the $1600 McQueen handbag. It's on the table behind her at the NYDN story. $600 haircut, $1600 handbag, $3500 silk shantung jacket. Totally tonedeaf to the people. Her campaign isn't about America, it's about her and power.
ReplyDeleteWhy did President Obama & VP Biden both endorse her this week if she's so "tone deaf?" You seem to know more about her wardrobe than her policies. Perhaps that says a lot about you.
DeleteYou seem very jealous of that handbag, you have had multiple posts over the last week complaining about it.
DeleteHere's a hint, you too can have a bag like that. Get an education and get a JOB!
Get over yourself. It's her damn money. She earned it.
DeleteClinton obviously should only shop at Target and Goodwill so as not to alienate the delicate voters.
Delete(I shop at both those places; I am not offended when I see Clinton decked out just as I am not offended when I see Michelle Obama in gorgeous expensive gowns)
Many of us don't want a bag like that. Most of us don't give a shit if someone else has a bag like that.
DeleteThe point is Clinton is now a very, very wealthy woman who flaunts a handbag that's worth a month's salary for many of the people whose votes she needs to win. I think that's utterly tone deaf and has nothing to do with jealousy. And news flash: Michelle Obama doesn't pay for those gowns. Designers like Maria Pinto and Jason Wu loan them to her.
Delete4:57 - why is having good taste and the means to wear it "flaunting"? You'd prefer the DNC have to buy appropriate clothing for her, as the RNC did for Palin or something? Thank goddess we have a candidate who dresses appropriately!
DeleteObama and Biden haven't endorsed anybody.
ReplyDeleteOh, haven't they? Seriously?
DeleteReally? Unless Bernie is having some serious surgery in the next few months I doubt Joe was talking about him when he stated " I would love to see a woman president".
DeleteSlightly, but not much/ off topic. In a column in our paper today Froma Harrup (I think I'm spelling her name correctly) dissects the Wisconsin vote for Bernie Sanders. A fair number of his voters did not bother to vote for anyone else on the ballot (and there were quite a few more, including candidates for a very contested state Supreme Court position). In addition there were quite a few Bernie voters who voted for the conservative candidate for the Supreme Court position, indicating that they were only voting on the Democratic ballot to keep Hillary Clinton from winning.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
PS Why not a better photo of Hillary Clinton when reporting on how well she did in her NY Daily News interview? I don't think she's boring at all; I think that she's quite amazing.
Damn Gryph. Either get a room with this bitch or just simply build a shrine to her. Then you could just shout her accolades all day every day. Oh wait, you already make shit up and do that. The LEAST Democratic person the D party has EVER had run for President and you have a continuous hard-on for her. Isn't she like 20 years older than you dude? Are you really that hard up that you've become totally infatuated with a semi married woman who just LOVES her some George W. Bush. Give me a fuckin' break
ReplyDeleteAnon at 7:00 am. Your comment is amazingly immature. If Hillary Clinton had more facts at her command than Bernie Sanders did, so be it. Accept it. No one said you had to voter for her in a primary - if you're old enough to vote.
DeleteBeaglemom
The President is for her and if you are for democracy, then you have to acknowledge that already, millions more voted for her than the Bern.
DeleteTypical Bernie Bro trying to cut down the female candidate and one of her voters by making sexist remarks, no surprise at all.
DeleteBut here's a hint Bro, Gryphen can and will support who he wants and I am really sorry that your Buddy Bernard blew his interview where he actually had to answer questions. Now you do have the choice of coming to this blog or not, heck, you could even start your own. But stomping your feet, holding your breathe, or making sexist remarks are not going to change other people's views/
Please, call her a bitch again. You're a great representative for Bernie Sanders.
DeleteYou're assuming that your Gryphen actually gives a shit about your opinion. This just in, Hillary hasn't tossed her weight around to get a trip to the vatican because she understands it's a waste of time, the people there can't vote for her, and she can't get delegates from it.
