[quote=Anonymous]15:22, repeating your quotes from earlier in the thread does not make them any more persuasive.

1. Clinton's strong support for women.  Women who work in the field of women's issues posted long, thoughtful commentary and specific examples of Hillary Clinton's work on behalf of women and girls.  You say she gave a "nice speech" in Beijing and you're happy she supports Planned Parenthood.  But you refused to give her credit for any of the other examples.  Your criticism seems to boil down to (1) she could have done even more, (2) the Clinton Foundation charity accepted money from Saudi Arabia and other countries, and (3) your constant refrain of NAFTA & welfare reform.

2. Sanders' non-existent record on women's issues.  You say he has a strong record on women's issues, and you say you "can't point to one moment in his entire career when he missed an opportunity to advocate for women."  Well, there's a lot more you haven't pointed to: such as one single specific thing Sanders has accomplished for women.  I'm not saying he's never done anything; I'm sure there is something in his record we could find.  But you certainly haven't given us anything except vague and unsupported claims that he's strong on women's issues.

At this point, I think it's clear that Hillary Clinton has a far stronger record of work for women than Bernie Sanders.[/quote]
