Clinton vs Sanders on Thursday evening’s Democratic debate
“I do not expect from someone running for the Democratic nomination to succeed President Obama”, she said at the debate on Thursday.
More and more these days, Hillary Clinton puts herself in alignment with President Obama on big issues and suggests Bernie Sanders is not as loyal to the incumbent.
Rupert Murdoch accused Democratic candidates of “trolling for black votes” as the presidential campaign shifts gears to the next contests.
“He was never a Democrat”.
Sanders said he’d work to change the culture around sexual violence through education, end the “rape kit backlog”, and eliminate roadblocks to birth control and emergency contraception, according to the website.
“Over the last seven years in this country, we have made enormous progress under the leadership of President Obama and Vice President Biden”, Sanders said.
“So when you go to caucus on March 1, ask yourself who you can count on to break down every barrier, not just some”, Clinton said. “Senator Sanders, my question to you is: What would you do if you had the opportunity to fix the system?”
Sanders, addressing about 4,000 activists at the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party’s annual Humphrey-Mondale Dinner in St. Paul, the nation should be “proud of the accomplishments of the Obama and Biden administration”. They said they felt the former secretary needed to show more of her personality in the debate, projecting the “warm, genuine affable, and funny” person they know. She has support from 73 percent of black S.C. voters in the new poll.
BEN CARSON (R), Republican Presidential Candidate: Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton will come along and say, it’s those evil rich people and that’s what’s causing you your problem.
Sanders portrayed himself as an Obama ally in the Senate and the successor to the Obama movement for change. Obama defeated Clinton in 2008 on a number of fronts. She later added this was the “kind of criticism that we’ve heard from Senator Sanders about our president I expect from Republican”.
Which candidate takes on the Republican nominee depends on Colorado, a sizeable Super Tuesday caucus state. Both candidates spent considerable time spelling out how their policies would help the blacks and the Latinos.
Generally, that’s a solid strategy, given the President’s high ratings with Democratic voters.
I will do everything that I humanly can as president to make sure that you do not continue living in fear.
“Some of us believe that what God teaches us what this world is about is that we do not turn our backs on our brothers or our sisters”, Sanders said. But one of the most important was black voters.
Ta-Nehisi Coates, an influential writer on racial issues, drew attention to the issue recently in an Atlantic Magazine essay entitled “The Case for Reparations”.
Clinton is hoping to offset Sanders’ backing from young Americans who like his call for free tuition at public colleges and universities and a plan for a government-run, single-payer health care system.
