Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton square off in head-to-head debate
Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton square off Thursday during the sixth Democratic presidential primary debate of the 2016 election cycle. “I have talked to some of the young kids with tears rolling down their cheeks, (who) are scared to death that today they may or their parents may be deported”, Sanders said. Jeb Bush, in an email interview with Bloomberg BNA in July, wrote that “the climate is changing”, adding, “I don’t think anybody can argue it’s not”.
Kissinger won a Nobel Peace Prize for helping to arrange the end of USA involvement in the Vietnam War, and is credited with secret diplomacy that helped Nixon open Communist China to America and the West. Issues important to black voters came up repeatedly as did loyalty to Obama and other things we’ve grown accustomed to like heated debate over Wall Street’s influence.
Sanders called it a “low blow”.
Sanders said it could be paid for “if we have the courage to take on the drug companies, and have the courage to take on the insurance companies, and the medical equipment suppliers, if we do that, yes, we can guarantee health care to all people in a much more cost effective way”. (Sanders released a statement saying he supported additional sanctions.) The candidates could also face questions about the late-breaking news of a possible ceasefire in Syria, under an agreement announced Thursday evening by Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov.
“One of us ran against Barack Obama – I was not that candidate”, Sanders said. It is the most amusingly obvious campaign tactic since, say, Wednesday morning, when Sanders for whatever reasondecided to meet with Al Sharpton in Harlem the day after the New Hampshire primary.
“We shouldn’t be letting Wall Street be destroying Main Street”, Clinton said.
Clinton, who remains the favorite for the Democratic nomination, has a political incentive to keep her disagreements with Sanders focused on policy.
“What our campaign is indicating is that the American people are exhausted of establishment politics”, Sanders said.
Clinton pointed out that Sanders had voted against an ultimately failed bid to pass comprehensive immigration reform in Congress in 2007 while she voted for it. Sanders explained that he had done so because guest worker provisions under the legislation were described by one legal advocacy group as “akin to slavery”. Iowa and New Hampshire were hard contests for her, but they’re also extraordinarily unrepresentative of the national Democratic electorate, with whom she still enjoys a robust lead.
Sanders scoffed that Wall Street doesn’t give huge sums to candidates out of civic duty.
Meanwhile, in the more crowded Republican field, SC is next.
On her foreign policy decision-making ability: “Sen”.
He insisted Obama was his friend, but that did not mean that a senator had to agree with the president on everything.
“He wrote a foreword for a book that basically argued voters should have buyer’s remorse when it comes to President Obama’s leadership”, Clinton said on stage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Clinton also unveiled a new line of argument against Sanders, saying her campaign was about breaking down barriers for working poor and minorities.
“When you look at her history as First Lady in the White House, as a senator, as the secretary of state”. In Thursday night’s debate (according to this transcript), “African-American” came up 20 times, “Latino” was mentioned eight times, and “black” was mentioned seven times. Bernie Sanders for criticizing the President.
