Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid endorses Clinton

Sanders immediately brought up the distinction between him and Sec. I went to Wall Street before the Great Recession. In such a scenario, Clinton may well be forced to really rile up the base of the Democratic Party in the way Sanders has done. Sanders gave his word that funding would be increased for historically black colleges. He repeated plan to invest in jobs and education, not jails and incarceration.

Bernie Sanders largely stood by his 1974 critique of the Central Intelligence Agency as a “dangerous institution” used to “prop up fascist dictatorships”.

Democrats vote Saturday in South Carolina’s presidential primary with Clinton leading by more than 20 points in a number of polls in the state.

She said the prison is a “continuing recruitment advertisement for terrorists” and that Obama is right to try to close it. Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said the hometown hero “will indeed” be in the Green Mountain State. “Sanders said he opposed the legislation, but “(Hillary) Clinton at that time had a very different position on welfare reform – strongly supported it and worked hard to round up votes for its passage”. Sanders later asked if the American people have the guts to take on the healthcare industry.

Sanders is not a single-issue candidate. “We’re going to win some of them, hopefully big, and we’re going to accumulate some delegates in others”, Sanders said. Sanders said that Republicans won a landslide in 2014 because people didn’t vote. But as Sanders has gained steam, largely on the support of younger and more liberal voters, Senate Democrats have stepped up their attacks, saying Sanders is not ready to be commander in chief, criticizing his democratic socialist views and contending that his domestic agenda has little chance of ever becoming law.

Towards the end of the town hall, Sen.

“There were a lot of bad actors” behind the 2008 financial crisis, Clinton said at a February 3 town hall meeting New Hampshire, “and if all you do is look over here, I’m telling you, they’re going to be over there in the shadow banking sector just cooking up all kinds of ways to once again put our economy at risk”.

Global and US regulators have imposed many changes on the banking system, making banks better capitalized and more closely scrutinized than they used to be, White says.

Later he clarified to the press, “All you folks should understand that I was just trying to be amusing with Donald Trump, and obviously wasn’t too amusing”. Sanders then earnestly asked for the support of the people of SC.

While Americans are no doubt transfixed by 2016’s particularly unpredictable election, many outside the United States are closely following the primaries as well, and not for the reasons you might expect. Sanders has $14 million on hand, with almost 75 percent coming from small contributions.
