Draft of Dems’ policy positions reflects Sanders’ influence

However, he somehow forgot about all these, confirming that he will vote for Hillary Clinton in the general elections, scheduled for November. “That I can tell you”.

Maybe not. There are already other suitors lined up at the door.

First in line, of course, is Hillary Clinton. She’s sympathetic about the heartbreak but just wants to remind her former foe’s supporters that she has a lot in common with them. “Maybe it’s not that important to you that she wins”, Tapper asked”.

The Democratic presidential hopeful has resisted dropping out of the race even though all the primaries are over and Mrs Clinton is the favorite to secure the party’s nomination formally at next month’s convention in Philadelphia.

Donald Trump’s frequent attempts to woo Sen.

His challenge to Clinton, one of the best-known figures in U.S. politics, lasted far longer than expected, running for four months and across 50 states and yielding record numbers of small donations to his campaign. She could also embrace parts of 74-year-old Sanders’ “political revolution”, namely fighting income inequality, that has been his campaign lynchpin, drawing in scores of younger voters. Trump, who has spent much of his campaign warning of the dangers posed by immigrants who illegally enter from Mexico and proposing a ban on USA entry for Muslims, has matched the global mood with his rhetoric.

The committee defeated an amendment by Sanders supporter James Zogby that would have called for providing Palestinians with “an end to occupation and illegal settlements” and urged an global effort to rebuild Gaza.

Clinton can take advantage of the mood without indulging in some of the over-the-top rhetoric that has set back Trump’s campaign, Republican strategist Rich Galen said.

“She thinks it’s all about her”. “I oppose the TPP agreement-and that means before and after the election”, said declared in May.

Sanders criticized Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, withholding of tax revenue from the Palestinian Authority and expansion of settlements in the West Bank, saying settlement growth “undermines the peace process and, ultimately, Israeli security as well”.

Mr. Sanders’ presidential campaign has been in talks with the Clinton campaign looking to iron out a way for the two Democratic rivals to come together. Sanders made the point that without a political revolution behind an agenda, it doesn’t really matter who’s in the White House. Only 40% of them say they would vote for her, with the rest undecided or divided between Trump, a third-party candidate and staying home, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling. It was the result of late nights and long hours of policy exchanges between the two campaigns and the Democratic National Committee, reflecting both the party’s divisions and areas of consensus. The campaign also said it was disappointed that the platform did not explicitly call for a $15 minimum wage. CCI Action members joined with its national organization and other community groups in a People’s Summit last weekend in Chicago centered on these and other issues.

Sanders, who is Jewish, has been one of the most prominent politicians to forcefully speak out against Israel for what he has called “disproportionate responses” to Palestinian actions.

Sanders delegates that Terrell spoke to were circumspect about their potential to support Clinton.

Sanders’s camp fell short advocating a ban on hydraulic fracturing – or fracking – in producing natural gas.

Mr Sanders said he regarded his campaign as a success.
