Clinton: Obama likely to pressure GOP with high court pick
Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign has signaled Democratic State Chairman Vince Powers that it intends to compete for delegates in Nebraska’s March 5 caucus and has named a veteran campaign operative who is familiar with the landscape here to direct the campaign.
Seated on opposing sides of the warm red sanctuary, Clinton and Sanders courted African-American voters with similar but opposing messages.
But more importantly, Bernie Sanders unrelenting emphasis on income inequality, concentration of wealth, criminal justice reform, immigration, more expansive health care coverage, progressive tax reform, a living wage, disability rights and climate change – just to name a few – has tapped into the communitarian impulses of many self-identified Democrats and progressives.
The Democratic candidate for president said that earlier Senate confirmation for a post would potentially increase pressure on resistant Republicans to consider Obama’s choice for the high court. “Would that make it automatically going to happen that people would be able to get jobs they deserve, the housing they need, the education their children need to have?”
Sanders, for his part, spoke about an array of issues during a similarly short speech and did not mention Clinton. You’ve said they have the same litmus test of overturning Citizens United. “Essentially, we are in this together”.
He also spoke about the number of people in American prisons, saying “we can not as a nation turn our back on the reality that we have more people in jail today” – punctuated by an “amen”, the Las Vegas Sun reported – “than any other country on Earth”. I think that this nomination will be yet another chance for Hillary Clinton to hug closer to President Obama, as she has done in the past.
“I have spent my entire adult life to make sure that women are empowered to make decisions…even if that decision is not to vote for me”, she continued.
“I’m in it for Hillary Clinton until the end”, Love said. Sanders hopes that his victory in New Hampshire, which made a big splash in the media, will make him better known here, and set the stage for a surprise on Saturday at 11. “No state in America knows more about the impact of the greed and illegal behavior of Wall Street than the state of Nevada”. “We have made great progress, but much more needs to be done”. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vermont) surging populist campaign, which nearly beat Clinton in Iowa’s caucuses and swamped her in New Hampshire last Tuesday.
Pastor Robert E. Fowler thanked both the candidate for coming, noting that he was “encouraged by the fact that they are willing to sit in the same church, same service, same time”.
I’ve always generalized that they won’t vote for men who yell. Among them are some of the most well-known and powerful Democrats in Wisconsin – U.S. Sen.
“And particularly for those of us who are Democrats, their electability”, Clinton said while campaigning in Iowa last month ahead of the caucus there.
In line with that, Clinton’s weekend schedule was packed with meet-and-greets with Nevadans hailing from a wide variety of communities: Clinton met with a young African-American businesswoman, played soccer at an indoor sports facility where many Latino families had gathered and stopped by Lee’s Sandwiches in Chinatown, famous for its banh mi. But according to Politico, the political grand master believes that a “rowdy face-off” between Clinton and Sanders could stoke Democratic registration in his home state and give Reid’s preferred successor – former state attorney general Catherine Cortez Masto – a boost in a tough general election campaign.
