Arizona congressman Raul Grijalva endorses Bernie Sanders
Clinton’s overall support is likely to continue to drop as the scandals surrounding her progress.
A visibly upset President Obama took to the White House podium after the shooting to bemoan perpetual congressional inaction after any incident, saying these incidents should, indeed, be politicized. In the interests of fairness, every major Democratic candidate-including Harvard Law School professor L. Larry Lessig-deserves the opportunity to address the voters directly in a debate. Gallup’s poll in August found that only 25% of Latinos were familiar of Sanders, while 14% of them knew Democratic presidential candidate and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley. North Carolina Democrats can win crossover votes by borrowing from Sanders’ and Warren’s populist economic message.
The Vermont senator will appear on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday. The former secretary of state will be in front of her largest audience in years next Tuesday, so expect her to go heavy on personal anecdotes, demonstrating she has heartfelt reasons for seeking the presidency a second time other than pure ambition. “I just don’t do that”. They have a very different approach, but Sanders and Trump basically agree that Wall Street runs our country, and that Congress is bought and paid for. He wants to re-institute it, but his rival Hillary Clinton has said she wouldn’t. When two women from the Black Lives Matter movement charged the stage at an event that Bernie Sanders was about to speak at, he didn’t lose his temper for a moment and instead carefully considered what he should do in the situation, choosing to back off and wait quietly. She has recently “clarified” her position on the Keystone Pipeline. Looking at the issue in strictly political terms, it’s one where Clinton can go to the left of Sanders to reach primary voters.
Instead of calling her Madame Secretary, perhaps one should call Hillary Madame Flip-Flop. He cited 45 instances where she “approvingly invoked the trade bill”.
Sanders has long highlighted differences with Clinton, from his anti-Iraq War vote (Clinton backed the war but has since expressed regret) to his support for a $15-an-hour minimum wage. He’s still drawing crowds of thousands to campaign rallies. But for now, Clinton remains the prohibitive favorite. “The sad fact is that Democrats in primaries campaign as protectionists and then they govern as free traders”.
“Unlike earlier Democrats, Clinton doesn’t have to worry that these proposals are going to hurt her. She still has to compete in Pennsylvania, Ohio and the upper Midwest, where guns are important”, he said. Vice President Joe Biden, who has not announced his intentions, has the support of his home state governor, Jack Markell of Delaware, and the state’s three-man congressional delegation, if he runs. Her strong support among African-Americans becomes a factor. Biden will soon make a decision whether to join the race. Clinton is funnier and more empathic than many people realize.
Politically motivated or not, Clinton’s move is certainly adding steam to her campaign following her appearance Saturday on SNL.
