Bernie Sanders wins Elizabeth Warren’s praise on Wall Street reform
Sanders’ inability to gain ground in California should be welcome news to Clinton’s camp, political experts say. And while Sanders can – and has – explained how mainstream Democratic Socialism really is, the term “socialism” remains hopelessly loaded and misunderstood.
But on the campaign trail, Clinton has tried to present herself in a more human scale as she mounts her second presidential run.
Few and far between are the days between now and the February 1 caucuses in which Clinton or one of her messengers aren’t scheduled to campaign around Iowa.
Even as Clinton discussed typical hot-button issues such as the economy, terrorism and gun control, she made sure to linger on voters’ more intimate concerns, such as battling Alzheimer’s and helping children with autism, asking members of the crowd to raise their hand if they knew someone affected by either condition. When it comes to Wall Street reform that must be our bottom line. “It may come down to how many of those non-Democrats he can get to come out and choose to vote in the Democratic race rather than the Republican one that’s drawn a lot more interest”. Sanders continued, “While Wall Street received the largest taxpayer bailout in the history of the world with no strings attached, the American middle class continues to disappear, poverty is increasing and the gap between the very rich and everyone else is growing wider and wider”.
Hillary Clinton is trying to turn the tables on Bernie Sanders. I want to get to that argument from Hillary Clinton in a second. This includes women, Latino and nonwhite voters, registered Democrats and voters who are at least 40 years old. I would just refer you to a recent Quinnipiac poll, which had us beating Donald Trump by nearly twice the margin that she was beating Trump. I think we can do that.
“Last month, we told you about how much money Bernie Sanders’ campaign was raising”, Mook writes.
“Some of them might not have been to a rally before”, noted a Sanders supporter and volunteer, Peggy Bennink, 69, of Summerland.
Sanders kicked off his relationship with the Sanders’ campaign starting Tuesday afternoon during the presidential candidate’s visit to The Town Hall in 43rd Street in Manhattan. Also, one of her advisors is 18-year Goldman veteran Gary Gensler, while her husband had many Goldman alums in his eight-year administration.
“We can’t take anything for granted”, Clinton said Monday night at Des Moines’ State Historical Museum, a replica of a massive wooly mammoth looming off to the side as she spoke. Nobody prosecuted. I think what you have is a situation where banks are not only too big to fail, bankers are too big to jail. He wants to pass what he called a “21st century Glass-Steagall Act” that would restore the boundaries between commercial and investment banking and has praised Warren in his campaign against big banks.
The final part of her proposal includes launching the Autism Works Initiative, by extending new resources to help autistic students easily transition out of school and into the workforce.
O’Malley also spoke out against a new wave of deportation raids that the Obama administration has launched against migrant families from Central America.
And while Sanders has been able to fire up young and apolitical people, he’s had a harder time exciting African-Americans and other minorities, who will be crucial to any Democrat’s chances of winning the general election in November.
“My experience is different from my competitors”, O’Malley said. “And particularly for those of us who are Democrats, their electability”.
