Is Bernie alleging quid pro quo corruption on Hillary's part? My take on their deeper dispute:https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2016/04/15/democratic-voters-refuse-to-believe-the-worst-about-hillary-clinton/ …
@ThePlumLineGS Is it your view that your article addresses quid pro quo, which it doesn't mention? @Pachacutec_ @jayrosen_nyu

@emptywheel@Pachacutec_@jayrosen_nyu the piece explicitly discusses policy positions reached in exchange for $$$. -
@ThePlumLineGS 1) "exchange" is not necessarily QPQ 2) that's further than evidence supported@Pachacutec_@jayrosen_nyu -
@emptywheel@Pachacutec_ Thats fair point. But Bernie agreed at debate that Hillary opposes breaking up banks precisely b/c of speaking fees -
@ThePlumLineGS Hillary has an ideological position that doesn't even see problem w/big banks (or their crimes!)@Pachacutec_ -
@emptywheel@Pachacutec_ And that's a legitimate criticism. Do you agree that her position on banks is directly linked to speaking fees? -
@ThePlumLineGS "Directly linked." There you go back to QPQ again.@Pachacutec_ -
@emptywheel @Pachacutec_Because Bernie SAID THIS. Why won't Bernie supporters own his actual positions? -
@ThePlumLineGS Can you point to where he made that EXPLICIT case in the debate? I'm not seeing it. "As if to say" = your interp@Pachacutec_ - 6 more replies
