Clinton And Sanders Tied In Nevada?
“We are on the verge of being able to grow together again”, said the former president, who only referred to Sanders as his wife’s “opponent”.
Clinton and Sanders were ending the day at the Minnesota DFL’s annual Humphrey-Mondale Dinner, putting them before party activists less than three weeks before the state’s March 1 presidential caucus.
By making the nomination a referendum on Obama, Secretary Clinton should shore up her support among Democrats who realize what the president has done for the party, instead of those who complain he didn’t do anything for Democrats. Why didn’t he push for a single-payer plan then? “I said he was being treated like a black on the street, already guilty, already a perp”. “That’s a promise that can not be kept”. Sanders deplores the fact that people are so much wealthier than others. Mr Sanders said a powerful nation like the United States, certainly working with allies, can overthrow dictators all over the world. Sanders genuinely believes Obama hasn’t done enough-and on some issues, he’s right. “There’s a huge gap right now between Congress and the American people”, he told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on February 10. Sanders has focused his campaign nearly exclusively on a call to break up big Wall Street banks and overhaul the current campaign finance system that he says gives wealthy Americans undue influence. “I guess just for the fun of it. They want to throw money around”. Still, she said she doesn’t see the current process as a major issue.
Clinton pushed back, defending her relationship with Kissinger.
MARTIN: A relationship, though – a history that includes a loss in SC to Barack Obama. Clinton doubted the feasibility of Sanders’ proposals. Both states have almost all-white populations. “But for Senator Sanders, it’s part of his answer for everything”.
But Ellison made a point to say Clinton was “a great person and a wonderful public servant” and said she would be “one million times better than the best Republican candidate”. I think so. I think she is too pro-Israel.
“I want you to not only tell people what we’re against, what we’re fighting against, what we’re going to stop, I want you to tell them what we’re for”, Clinton said. Ms. Clinton may not be President Obama or even her husband but she’s the best chance we have.
The former Secretary of State made the observation in response to a question about comments made last weekend by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. “I will not take advice from Henry Kissinger”.
Clinton, in the latest debate, in speeches and in her campaign’s ads and those of her allies has sharpened her argument in recent days that Sanders, an avowed socialist, is pitching unrealistic domestic ideas, lacks foreign policy depth and can’t match her commitment to minority voters, important constituencies in the coming contests in SC and Nevada.
