With eyes on Nevada, Clinton and Sanders duel at church
A recent poll conducted by “Real Clear Politics” has Clinton and Bernie Sanders tied at 45% in Nevada. And despite taking in heaps of money in campaign donations from both the insurance and pharmecutical industries, she added “I took on the drug companies and I took on the insurance companies to try to get us universal health care coverage”.
“This looks to me like a group of people who are prepared to make a political revolution”, Sanders said.
class=”glossaryLink cmtt_Politicians” Bernie Sanders is a single-issue candidate himself.
“We have to be focused on doing everything we can to build on the progress that President Obama has made”, she said.
Under federal campaign finance laws, Clinton technically can not coordinate with super PACs, like Priorities USA, which aren’t subject to contribution limits.
However, many were intrigued with the plans Sanders has of raising the taxes on people who are wealthier and on firms on Wall Street, while offering tuition free for public universities.
In terms of readiness to take on the post of the nation’s next Commander in Chief, Sanders again fell behind as only 51 percent thought he was up for the job, compared to 80 percent who said Clinton is prepared for it.
Clinton is making a strategic move ahead of the SC primary, where a substantial percentage of the electorate is African American.
“One [key point] is that if you don’t have some agreement within the system from states and families and from students, it’s hard to get to where we need to go”, said Clinton.
The former Secretary of State will likely argue at the debate that the senator is not ready to serve as commander in chief and has not plausible proposals on foreign policy.
Based on CNN exit polling from the New Hampshire primary earlier this week, Sanders holds not only a significant total donors lead over his rival, but also a major credibility margin. “My oldest grandson is very much for Sanders”, he said. Both Nevada and SC, which follows the Western state on the Democratic primary calendar, are more racially diverse than leadoff Iowa and New Hampshire.
Trump benefitted from an unusually large field of candidates that split the vote among more traditional politicians, reported the New York Times-including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who came in second. She recently spoke in black-majority Bamberg County, SC, addressing issues such as lack of funding for infrastructure and schools in the area.
