Sanders throws support behind Clinton; slams Trump during rally in Dearborn

Bernie Sanders campaigned on Wednesday in Madison for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and former Sen.

Mr. Sanders scored a win in Michigan’s Democratic presidential primary contest in March, despite polls leading up to the contest showing him behind Mrs. Clinton.

Elizabeth Robb, 22, shares that view.

Yet, since his endorsement of Hillary Clinton and her nomination at the Democratic National Convention, Sanders has gone from super-rallies to struggling to gather more than one or two hundred people to drum up enthusiasm for her Wall-Street-backed candidacy.

The Duluth News Tribune asked those who attended Tuesday’s Sanders event if they are ready to put their full support behind Clinton, or are they still supporting the senator from Vermont?

“I believe that if she sticks to what she’s been saying about agreeing with a lot of the stuff Bernie has said – and if she sticks to that – I think that I will vote for her”, said 18-year-old Selena Knutson, a long-time Sanders supporter and first time voter.

“I’ve been a longtime supporter of Senator Sanders’ plan for free college and I am a supporter for Hillary Clinton for President of the United States”, he said. “Take a hard look at the agendas of the campaign, what these candidates stand for”, he said.

“What she said is, I should tell the American people that in the first 100 days of her administration she will roll out a very specific plan to make public colleges and universities tuition free for all families earning less than $125,000 a year”, Sanders said.

According to the Clinton campaign, the former Maryland governor, who dropped his presidential bid in February, will talk about the economy and education-and bash Republican nominee Donald Trump.

While horrified by Trump, Sanders’ supporters are not excited about Clinton or her pro-corporate policies and are turned off by Bernie’s about-face.

Clinton and Sanders both believe it is important for the minimum wage – now $7.25 at the federal level – to be turned into a living wage.

But Sanders’ exhortation that voters to look past personality may be one of his most revolutionary appeals yet – while weirdly also being pragmatic.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is returning to Wisconsin on Saturday, October 8th. “Bernie Sanders brings out diversity”.

“There are the same ideas, similar policies, it’s just a different candidate”, she said.

For Clinton, October is when she’s likely to win or lose the election, not November 8.

Sophomore Wako Adem said he was impressed with Sanders and the way he ran his campaign. “They stare fracture in the face and wax honest about its origins”, symposium programming chair Trddy Kupfer wrote in an email to The News-Letter. At least twice, audience members interrupted his speech, shouting, “We want the Bern” and “Third party!” As far as the far right goes, the question seems pointedly directed at Donald Trump, whose campaign slogan, after all, is “Make America Great Again”.

Polling analyst Nate Silver and his FiveThirtyEight website gave Clinton an 82.3 percent chance of winning Minnesota’s 10 electoral votes as of Tuesday night.

In comparison to Trump’s rhetoric on the campaign trail, Sanders pointed out the progress made by minority groups in American history.

Later, Clinton staffers insisted to reporters that Hillary sent Kaine an email and eventually called him just before noon the following day.
