Clinton gains support of key union for White House run

The fact is that Wall Street’s support for Clinton has little to nothing to do with her response to the attacks. “I saw that a few divisiveness could occur within the ranks with an endorsement one way or another”, said Betty Holladay, a 503 board member who proposed the resolution. According to CRP data, Clinton in 2000 was, out of all U.S. Senate candidates that year, the No. 2 recipient of campaign cash from employees of hedge funds, the third-largest from employees of private equity firms, the fourth-largest from employees of commercial banks and the sixth-largest from employees of mortgage bankers and brokers. “I don’t believe that the people watching were applauding the notion that Secretary Clinton was pumping up the smoke screen and wrapping herself in the tragedy of 9/11”, O’Malley told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota.

“We were attacked in downtown Manhattan where Wall Street is”. “I did spend a whole lot of time and effort helping them rebuild”. “And places like Seattle, like Los Angeles, like NY City, they can go higher”, she added. The DSCC ended up directing nearly $7 million to the Democratic Committee of NY State in the 2000 election. Understandably, that money has raised questions about Clinton’s pledge to regulate America’s financial industry.

As Ben White has found in those same conversations with Democrats on Wall Street, they are completely unfazed by a Clinton candidacy, calling her leftward shift on economic issues “just politics” and “a Rorschach test for how politically sophisticated people are”. “Each day that ISIS exists, it gains new energy and more recruits around the world”, ex-Florida Gov. Bush said on NBC’s “Meet the Press”.

For weeks, the independent senator’s campaign has promised that he would explain democratic socialism, which he has said many times on the campaign trail is his ideology.

Another campaign spokeswoman, Jennifer Palmieri, came to the defense of the comments and Clinton’s record on Wall Street, telling Bloomberg, “There are times when she’s worked very productively with Wall Street, and 9/11 is an example of that”.

The former Maryland governor, O’Malley, and former secretary of state, Clinton, spoke inside of an agricultural showroom at Iowa State Sunday afternoon.

She said the recent unrest in Libya and other parts of the Middle East was symptomatic of an “arc of instability from North Africa to Afghanistan”. “She’s the only one of them three of us that is opposed to modern version of Glass-Steagall so that we separate speculative banking from traditional banking that all of us ensure”. It was repealed under President Bill Clinton’s administration, but Clinton has not called for its reinstatement.

But Clinton and her advisers argue that Glass-Steagall would not have prevented the failure of large financial institutions, such as investment bank Lehman Brothers and insurer AIG, during the Great Recession.
