Five different times, aides tried to drag him away from the booth where Josh Brody, a 24-year-old supporter of Bernie Sanders, was holding forth about all that had gone wrong in the 1990s: welfare, NAFTA, Wall Street.
“Other people are waiting,” one staffer said, stepping forward.
“I think we’re gonna agree to disagree here, guys,” he tried again.
“All right, Mr. President. These folks are waiting,” a second aide said.
But for more than 30 minutes, Bill Clinton stayed to argue every point, turning a routine retail stop at Tia Sophia’s, a Mexican restaurant here in Santa Fe, into a one-on-one debate with Brody, a recent graduate of New York’s New School, who said he supported Hillary Clinton’s Democratic challenger. “For the next few weeks — then I’ll be a Stein supporter,” he added of Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
The encounter on Wednesday was emblematic of a presidential election driven by questions about the politics of the 1990s — and the legacy of the Clinton years. On the campaign trail, when confronted with a voter on the rope line or a heckler in the crowd, Clinton is often unwilling to let his record go undefended. But the protracted back-and-forth was also a testament to Clinton’s view — one he repeats often on the trail — that politicians and their opponents don’t spend enough time listening to one another anymore....
The conversation here began when Clinton approached Brody’s booth. The young Sanders supporter, a Santa Fe native, appeared to decline a handshake with the former president, instead posing a question about “aid to families with dependent children.”

One must say, right or wrong, arguing with a Bernie Sanders supporter is like teaching a pig to sing.
Especially a 24 year old one. The only thing more worthless than this would be if it were a 16 year old Bernie Sanders supporter.
Arguing with idiots doesn’t prove they are idiots, it proves you (BC) are an idiot.
This kid would have been 8 years old in 2000. What can he possibly know about the 1990’s unless he had been given talking points by the Sanders campaign.
I find no enjoyment watching two handicapped people argue over things they don’t comprehend.
Talking points from commie Bernie?
I don’t think so... talking points are from:
Salon
Facebook
TMZ
Sieu
BUT mainly from
The Democrat underground
And especially the daily kos
throw in the average dufus MSM crap and you get bat ass
stupid- bet this nut has NO IDEA when bill Clinton
was even in the White House- notice he will switch to the
“green party” ?? if Bernie the commie looooses-
Well at least he wasted BC’s 30 minutes of life
I’m surprised a Sanders supporter would have such an attention span.
Oh, that’s where you and I differ!
Enjoy.
I bet he wouldn’t stick around to discuss his flights on the ‘Lolita Express’.
look a squirrel
Two people with IQ’s of 30, arguing for 30 minutes?! Must’ve given both of them extreme headaches.
So how red was Bubba’s face by the end of this “debate”? Did he go off muttering about the race card and how Bernie isn’t fit to get him coffee?
Unless it was off the record and there was a lot of winking and elbow nudging going on as he was discussing it...
Two floaters swirl around each other in the political toilet bowl for a half hour.
Narcissists can’t STAND to be challenged.....also most rapists are narcissists...heh....
He'll just roam the halls in a bathrobe, 3-day old stubble, holding a nearly-empty bottle of Old Crow and chewing the butt of a stogie muttering to himself about how he used to run things.
LOL! Clinton taken down by a punk kid from the uber-Liberal New School.
Sorry, Bill. You just aren’t Liberal enough for them any more!
