Chelsea Clinton: Sanders wants to dismantle Obamacare

[The Other Castro]

"Chelsea Clinton said Sanders would also 'dismantle Medicare and dismantle private insurance,' as well as strip away benefits from the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which was created under her father’s presidency."

Her campaign is really flailing against Bernie, most Democrats probably prefer single-payer to Obamacare.

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

If everyone was covered under single payer, we wouldn't have to worry about little kids having insurance or not.

[Asian Nazi]

She's, like, factually correct.  Nice to see the usual anti-Clinton spin here though lol.

[henster]

It's even worse when you recall that Hillary was so upset back in 2008 over other Democrats attacking each other on health care. 'Shame on you' she said.

That's because it would be worth undoing the accommodations of the private health insurance system in the ACA if we could replace it with single-payer.

If this sort of stupidity becomes the theme of Hillary's campaign going forward, I may have to change my voting intentions.

[Trapsy]

Why is she on the trail?

When you're sending your daughter out to attack the primary opposition, it's a safe bet that something has gone terribly wrong.

The way they are reacting to Bernie's surge is irrational.

I don't mean this in a rude or crass way, but good lord she is not exactly a looker. Not that she had the best genetics to work with but.....yikes.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Why is she on the trail?

To give her spawn the necessary campaign experience to launch its own bid in a few years.

The definition of losing.

Literally all of the candidates are middle-aged or older, none of them should be expected to look like anything other than their age.

[Lief 🗽]

Well she's right. Democrats should want to build on Obama's legacy, not tear it down and start over again. Sanders plan is an unfeasible, unrealistic scheme that totally ignores political reality. Glad someone is finally calling him out on his nonsensical "policies."

[DrScholl]

This is not untrue, because Sanders wants single payer. It's a moot point, though, because it would never get through Congress.

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are young and good looking according to my wife.

I agree -a woman is supposed to be a sex symbol for a bunch of lonely white guys on an internet forum, never mind her qualifications, or the fact that the vast majority of you are hardly 'lookers' either.

It is sh**t like this that fuel the perception that the campaign against Hillary is based mainly on misogyny and double-standards.  I doubt any of you would base the qualifications of a male politician of a similar age on how he looks.

I hope you that your opinion of the candidates is not altered by the words of a person who doesn't think before they post. I, for one, was absolutely disgusted by this comment. I have also seen disgusting comments from other people in the "Bernie Camp". On one video of an analysis of why African-Americans were not voting in the same numbers for Sanders as were whites, there were many comments by the sludge of Youtube saying the most vile, racist stuff about their fellow Americans based on the fact that they were voting for one liberal over another, slightly less, liberal.

And as to the point about "being PC", if that happens to come up, there is a difference between telling a joke in one setting, and forming opinions and thoughts in another. This was a non-topical point that had no place in a discussion that focused on something completely different.

Anyway, enough with derailing this thread. I just wanted to back a Hillary supporter so it doesn't look like that kind of frustration is coming from on side of the isle (kind of since I'm still a Democrat, but still). I wonder what the reaction from Clinton is on this, once she heard her daughter say this. Is this a sentiment shared by Clinton herself, or is it just something Chelsea feels because she has not done as much research and is speaking because of her relations to Hillary Clinton, rather than being a campaign manager with the message drilled into her heads? In English: is this Hillary's views or hers?

Oh give me a break.

I dont like any of the Clintons regardless of how they look. I happen to find it funny that along with all 3 of them being awful people politically, they are also fairly ugly as well. If you find that offensive or some form of 'misogyny' that says more about you than me.

For the record I think most people would agree that Ted Cruz is not an attractive person either but are people who criticize his campaign lambasted for being sexist? Whether you like it or not, people who enter the public arena are judged heavily based on their physical appearance. Would I make a final decision to vote for someone based on their looks? Of course not. But there are plenty of people who do. My grandmother voted for JFK because he was "just so handsome" and literally had no other reason.

Jeb! looks pretty good for being in his mid 60s.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

The Clinton campaign is getting nervous about the Sanders surge. Maybe she's finally #FeelingTheBern^TM

[ProgressiveCanadian]

Hillary even has to get her daughter on the attack. Desperate times for the campaign.
