TPP ain't gonna steal jobs from the US. Indiana would be worse off under Sanders because he'd stand idly by while the Tea Party took over, period.

Significant evidence suggests that TPP will siphon hundreds of thousands of jobs abroad and the potential to deleteriously affect workers rights, food quality and the environment. Funny, also, that DWS and the current DNC establishment which includes the Clintons (also recall Bill C and 1994) has presided over the loss of many state houses, state legislatures, congress and a number of senate seats and have no plan whatever to win them back. So again, nothing you are saying is based in poo poo that has actually happened.

I'm right when I say Clinton is doing a bunch for me but Sanders ain't doing poo poo, which is the whole reason why I support her and not him and also my original point.

If you're looking to sway my thinking, your task isn't to speculate out loud at me, but to convince me why supporting Sanders would be worth watching my state get sucked down the drain it's been circling.

Why should I have any faith that a man whose seat was purchased for him by the NRA and who then vehemently opposed the waiting period as he was instructed will vote the correct way, for that matter? The NYDN interview didn't really inspire me with an enormous amount of confidence that he isn't just a reactionary with no plan or concrete reasoning

Have you read the news? Clinton isn't interested in them either. Less then 1% of the victory fund has gone to help anyone down ticket. In fact under her stewardship the DNC has lost more down ticket races.

lol bernouts want that politico story to be legit so bad.

Here's the thing...the victory fund money is for the general election so I don't know why anybody is surprised that very little of it has been dispersed yet. It's also the exact same fundraising system that Obama used in 2008 and 2012 and nobody complained about it then.

What part of the money will be distributed to downticket races in the general election is confusing to you?

A better question is why isn't Bernie using the same fund he has available to him to do the same thing?

Also Bernie has done a few split fund-raising campaigns for down ticket races so far. Not just split with the DNC (who then funnel it dirctly back into the hillary campaign).

Again, I repeat myself, they are already pumping money into my state. This is not speculation at this point, and the campaign has been coordinating with local ones already. Clinton won Indiana in 2008 and it went blue that year, she absolutely believes it is on the table, and with Trump on the GOP side is absolutely could be

A whopping $174k when your democratic congressional and state senate candidates are getting killed in individual fundraising. Moreover, the DNC has given peanuts to the democratic gubernatorial challenger vs. millions on the republican side. So, like everything else, you are completely wrong. Hillary Clinton will spend very little money there on her own campaign.

They met with him and said they'd tell all their people to vote for him over the incumbent Democrat if he agreed to go hard against any gun control, they did and so he did. S4p and Weaver flip the gently caress out about speech transcripts but I'd argue that this sort of thing is way worse ethically.

They've already boosted Gregg to the tune of half a million

Also even if your number were correct that's 174k more than Sanders would send down, with absolutely none of the endorsements and inclusion into systems like OFA day 1 that that means

Clinton absolutely sees Indiana as in play, and even if it isn't, she sees Gregg as very amenable to her plans to expand Obamacare whereas Pence will be an enormous headache so her life is still made significantly easier by ousting him and his lackeys

No, that was Pence from the RGA, Q1 2016. The DNC or its gubernatorial affiliates have not given Gregg that kind of money. Gregg has gotten his largest contributions from unions that are all the weaker due to free trade deals championed by Hillary Clinton.
