Clinton profitable support from union leaders – however many rank-and-file
Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton has won the endorsement of more than a dozen national unions, representing more than 10 million members. Heck, he’s already slipping in polls nationwide after an explosive Summer that saw him draw dangerously close to the already-crowned Hillary Clinton.
Despite the fact that Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has assured the support of most national unions, many rank-and-file union members remain drawn to Sanders, confirms the same source.
“I believe it because he, unlike any other candidate, said, “I would like to restore the voters” rights act.’ He, unlike any other candidate said, ‘I wish to end this illegal war on drugs that disproportionately targets minorities and (the) poor”, the rapper said. According to Reuters, her overwhelming lead over Sanders has widened in recent weeks, but the passion gap indicates Clinton has more work to do in earning union workers’ votes.
Among her supporters are two former S.C. governors – Jim Hodges and Dick Riley – and former U.S. Rep. John Spratt, a York attorney who was a ranking Democrat after serving 28 years in Congress. When the SEIU endorsed Clinton recently, the union’s president, Mary Kay Henry, cited the chance of winning a general election as one reason.
“Given the disappearing middle class and massive income and wealth inequality in America today, we clearly have to go a lot further than what Secretary Clinton proposes”, said Sanders spokesperson Michael Briggs. “And if the message from people who are running for president, for example, is that we don’t want to take any Muslims whatsoever, that’s not good for law enforcement”.
Sanders’ campaign manager Jeff Weaver told Reuters that the campaign rewrote its budgets last week, doubling them to add more staff in each of the states holding nominating contests on March 1.

The best way for candidates to learn about the challenges of rural communities is to “put eyes on it whenever they can”, he said.
“I typically have gotten involved in the primaries when I had some sort of inspirational attachment to it”, said Columbia attorney Dick Harpootlian, an Obama backer and critic of Clinton who had hoped Biden would run.
But fundamentals drive elections more than candidates do.
“I’m doing as much as I can”, said Horan, whose cancer has metastasized to her brain.
Sanders would press Congress, his campaign said, to change immigration laws if he was elected president and would seek a 5-year pathway to citizenship for people living in the USA illegally.
When it comes to paying for these “targeted” benefits, plus her other promises such as universal preschool, however, the former secretary of state has a clear principle: none of the 97 percent of USA households that earn $250,000 or less per year will be asked to contribute higher taxes.
