Clinton pushes back against GOP on veterans’ health issues

“These problems are serious, systemic and unacceptable”. “They need to be fixed, they need to be fixed now”. I don’t even take umbrage with Mrs. Clinton. And anyone here in Colorado who thinks charters habitually boot such students out hasn’t examined the record of charters serving low-income students in Denver – and often doing a better job with them, too.

Clinton’s answer – crammed with qualifiers – suggested an extreme ambivalence in her position. They called Clinton a disastrous secretary of state who helped President Barack Obama preside over a feckless foreign policy and as president, would come after Americans’ wallets. “And I would have said from the very beginning that has no place in a political discussion like the one we are trying to have here”. Republicans are sure Hillary is bad, but they aren’t sure why.

She then shrugged off the criticism that Clinton has received for the incident. Clinton said the next president needs to invest in infrastructure and clean energy, and make it easier for people to start and grow small businesses. “A lot of mistakes were made”. The lead in the polls in New Hampshire is moving back and forth between Clinton and Bernie Sanders. In response to the outrage, members of her campaign promised that she would roll out her plan to reform the VA in the coming weeks. “I’m sorry, I have to say that”.

After telling MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow last month that issues within the VA have “not been as widespread as it has been made out to be” – a comment that was blasted by Republicans and Democrats – Clinton has regularly used the word “systemic” to describe the issues within the VA.

Ted Cruz said Clinton “embodies the cronyism of Washington”, and Carly Fiorina invited viewers to “imagine a Clinton presidency”, where “our military will continue to deteriorate, our veterans will not be cared for”. Jeanne Shaheen’s husband; Tom Hassan, first gentleman of New Hampshire, and Terry Shumaker, a longtime Clinton adviser in the state. “It is just never going to happen that we’re going to round up and deport 11 or 12 million people. Clinton only 82% of the time, so its endorsement is based on something other than the merits”. Her plan also includes expanded access to mental health services and increased coordination among all of the government agencies that provide aid to veterans.

Whoever may have been the victor of the fourth Republican primary debate, all the candidates on stage were clearly focused on their one common enemy: Hillary Clinton, whose name was mentioned more than 25 times.

Her main rival, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, has also called for expanding care for veterans, including comprehensive dental care and caregiver provisions. Former Gov. John Lynch moderated the discussion.
