Related: About this forumHillary Clinton Calls for U.S. to Take 65,000 Refugees,
It's the same number fellow candidate Martin O'Malley came up with earlier this month.
Fellow Democratic candidate Martin O'Malley advocated for that same 65,000 earlier this month. Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders last week refrained from giving a number of refugees to take in, saying that the U.S. needs to help, but that the scope of who should be brought in is still unclear.

(14,449 posts)I believe that was the country whose leader offered up a palace for refugees. I would be shocked if anyone from Hillary, Bernie, trump, O'Malley, Boehner, McConnell, Reid, or pelosi offered anything of the same. That would certainly be a proud moment.

(1,464 posts)She doesn't take tough stands on any issue. She ducked this question for weeks and now all of a sudden she agrees with O'Malley. She is hoping the media won't call her on her bullshit.
I think the reason she wants to wait for the debates is so she can wait for O'Malley/Sanders to lead on issues and let them take the heat from the media and voters for the tough stands. She waits until the furor dies down and then she can just turn around and copy whatever they say and get credit for it. By the time the debate rolls around, she'll sit on the debate stage and take credit for all of their positions.

O'Malley showed he really cared about refugees, when he allowed so many of them to find sanctuary in Maryland.
Low information critics have no idea what drives that very good man to run for president. It is moral principle.
I am sick and tired of pot shots at a good man who is presently so unknown and so unappreciated.
