Bernie Sanders takes gloves off against Hillary Clinton in interview

Clinton certainly appreciated Sanders quick dismissal of the question, even shaking hands with her opponent.

Bernie Sanders, who is Clinton’s chief challenger for the Democratic Party nomination for the 2016 presidential election, has said the federal minimum wage should be raised to $15 an hour.

The only candidates who made such comments were Sanders, at the first and only Democratic debate, and Jim Webb, who dropped out, according to Slate, which first reported that Clinton could be “reaching for the race card” to “smear” Sanders. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley is still in the race, but took in just three percent of the vote.

On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal published an interview with Sanders in which he said there are “valid questions” about Clinton’s emails and that an FBI investigation should “proceed unimpeded”.

Seventy-one percent of likely Democratic presidential primary voters said they planned to vote for Clinton in the Democratic primary.

“You get 12 seconds to say these things”, he added. Theres an investigation going on right now. He did after all preface his “sick and tired” statement with “let me say something that may not be great politics”.

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released this week shows that 53 percent of all voters rate Clinton poorly when it comes to her being honest and straightforward, with 42 percent-a plurality-scoring her very poorly in this category.

Sanders said another example is his 2002 vote against authorizing the U.S. invasion of Iraq, which Clinton voted in favor of as a NY senator, but now says was a mistake. In the poll, Clinton polled at 33 percent, with then-Sen.

Clinton, meanwhile, has focused much of her recent campaigning on issues important to minority voters, in an effort to recreate the winning coalition of black, Latino and young voters that twice catapulted President Barack Obama into the White House.

Ms Clinton also renewed her pledge to take on the powerful USA gun lobby.

But as Clinton postures as a tough advocate of gun control now – while she is dealing with a serious challenge from the left – she wasn’t touting the same lines in 2008.

“This country needs a political revolution”, Sanders shouted to a massive crowd gathered outside the New Hampshire Statehouse just moments after he registered for the presidential primary ballot.

During that interview he said he was glad that Clinton had come out against the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal, but that he has a clear record of opposing those sorts of agreements whereas Clinton does not. But he suggested he’d be more capable of bringing various factions together to make improvements to the nation’s gun laws.
