Clinton meets with civil rights leaders in NY
Both parties will hold their 2016 presidential primaries on March 1st in Virginia.
Meanwhile, Sanders earned the support of Georgia State Sen.
But as hard as she tries to portray Sanders as a Johnny One Note on income inequality and the evils of Wall Street, with little appeal beyond college campuses and progressive strongholds, he continues to confound her with shrewd tactics, mass rallies, aggressive and well-staffed ground operations and a gold-plated media campaign – all thanks to unprecedented grassroots fundraising.
Nothing has proved to be the silver bullet that would take out the unlikely spoiler of the second almost-coronation of Hillary Clinton.
“Bill Clinton is a friend of the African-American community, and Hillary as well”, said Ray Lattimore, 55, a Greenville business owner. Eligible Hispanic voters in contested states such as New Hampshire, Iowa, Ohio, North Carolina, and Wisconsin make up less than four percent of the electorate.
The Democratic presidential candidate is meeting with civil rights leaders in New York City.
Duncan is a bit of a legend in Las Vegas for her work to desegregate the Las Vegas Strip decades ago. Elizabeth Warren would be better suited to such a role.
Bernie Sanders has more delegates following Iowa and New Hampshire, but because hundreds of superdelegates have pledged their support to Hillary Clinton, she’s in the lead right now.
Clinton’s one-time air of invincibility has given way to pangs of desperation and lowered expectations of how well she will do in Nevada and SC.
“They’re right to be mad”, he said.
Clinton has stronger ties than Sanders in the Sunshine state, which she won in 2008 before losing the primary to Barack Obama. Among black voters, this gap is even wider.
Mrs. Clinton opened by thanking the group “for the extraordinary advice that they have given to my team at the campaign”. Last month, his campaign unearthed a photo of Hillary Clinton praising their candidate for his dedication to the fight for universal healthcare.
Sanders also focused on his desire to reform and demilitarise the police, ensuring accountability among officers. She knows the only thing that will save her at this point is convincing African-American voters that she is the rightful heir to President Obama. But Sanders and Clinton are going farther by outlining the opportunity disparity, too – the systemic roots in government and corporate structure that are believed to cripple black achievement.
Insurance professionals would certainly have more job security under Clinton’s vision, which sees incremental change instead of the complete overhaul Sanders has planned.
If we read between the lines here, it seems like she’s saying that grass-roots activists don’t normally have much of a chance of succeeding at the convention, and so the superdelegates exist so that those long-shot candidates are able to participate. She said they recognize the Clinton name but not the policies associated with that name. The case comes from Texas, but many others have joined in and passed similar laws.
“And sadly, in America today, in our economy, a whole lot of those poor people are African-American”, he said last week.
Sanders’ support is more pronounced among young women especially.
