Hillary Clinton Continues Slamming Sanders on ‘Single-Issue’ Candidacy

On the Democratic side virtually the entire Democratic political establishment was united in support of Hillary Clinton, and united against Bernie Sanders, whose anti-establishment populism threatens the insider Democratic power base as much as it threatens Wall Street and the Republican establishment. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. speaks during a canvass kick-off event at the Reno Sparks Convention Center, Saturday, Feb. 13, 2016, in Reno, Nev.

The Democratic presidential hopeful made the comments Saturday morning at a rally for hundreds of union workers in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson.

In what is being hailed as a “victory for outsiders”, Bernie Sanders, the underdog in the U.S. Democratic nomination race, stole a march on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the first primary elections of the season, in New Hampshire, and controversial property billionaire Donald Trump captured the most Republican votes.

The Vermont senator used unusually blunt words to express frustration with his opponent when he spoke to reporters in Nevada on Saturday before flying to Colorado for a Democratic dinner at which both are scheduled to appear.

Reed also criticized Sanders for claiming he would be a better president for women than Clinton.

Sanders’ campaign said the accusations showed a Clinton campaign still reeling from a sweeping loss earlier this week in New Hampshire and tightening races in Nevada and SC. “I think the Clintons have taken the African American votes for granted”.

“Her husband’s policies effected my community in a very negative way”, she said. “I am the only candidate who will stand with you in every single fight, no matter how hard it is or how long it takes”, she concluded. Her implication was clear: Sanders is a one-issue candidate, driven exclusively by income inequality and what he sees as a rigged financial system.

“Not everything is about an economic theory, right?” “If we broke up the big banks tomorrow, and I will, if they deserve it, if they pose a systemic risk, I will. Will that end racism?” Would that end sexism? Will that end discrimination against the LGBT community?

Latinos make up about a quarter of Nevada’s voting-age population, and black people account for nearly 9 percent.
