I do know he doesn't line up well with their goals. I love his Israel policy.
Not so soft. AIPAC's goals are to blindside America. They're doing pretty well. I am glad there's at least one person in Washington publicly giving them the finger. Politely, of course, but not so softly.

@Lash,
To give credit where it is due, he is consistently balanced on the Israel/Palestinian turmoil. I only wish he would bring that balance on other issues such as free college for everyone and totally dismantling ACA.
He's EXPANDING the ACA. Wall Street has been joyriding in a Rolls Royce on our dime. They will start footing the bill as they would have without Clinton protections. They will find a lot of the reduced college costs.
Hillary and Bill are very close to each other in their styles of governing. During Clinton's presidency we saw 16 Million Full Time jobs created and a destructive war taking place in Eastern Europe end via the Dayton Accords without a single American life being lost. I'll definitely take "someone like Hillary" as President, and I look forward to another successful Clinton presidency .

From Bernie's team:
Debate update.
“We are very pleased that Secretary Clinton finally has accepted our request for a debate about the needs of New York and America. Unfortunately, the dates and venues she has proposed don’t make a whole lot of sense. The idea that they want a debate in New York on a night of the NCAA finals – with Syracuse in the tournament no less – is ludicrous. We have proposed other dates which they have rejected. We hope we can reach agreement...
They don't have to worry about Syracuse being in the tournament anymore.
The California primary can't get here fast enough for me. Losing the nomination definitely won't shut the Berniebots up. But we can at least hope for a decrease in volume.

Three days ago, over 18,500 showed up to hear Bernie at St. Mary’s Park in the South Bronx. This morning, well over a thousand showed up to hear him in downtown Wausau, Wisconsin – many standing for hours, starting at 5:20 a.m., in temperatures hovering around 30 degrees.
I can’t predict what’s going to happen in the Wisconsin primary Tuesday, or in New York State’s primary April 19. But I can tell you no candidate in recent American history has fueled so enthusiastic and dedicated a movement to reclaim our democracy and economy from the moneyed interests. If Donald Trump is the Republican candidate -- which, frighteningly, seems increasingly likely -- we'll need a Democratic candidate capable of generating this degree of positive enthusiasm and commitment. His name is Bernie Sanders.
