Clinton to propose tax credit for caregivers

Later Saturday, Sanders and O’Malley were to participate in a criminal justice forum in Columbia.

Hillary Clinton will propose a new tax credit for caregivers, adding to a series of middle-class tax cuts the Democratic frontrunner has announced this campaign.

A Winthrop University poll out on November 4 showed that an overwhelming majority of SC Democratic primary voters back Clinton: 71% to Sanders’ 15% support.

Asked about her hefty Wall Street-backed speaking fees and donations, Clinton defended her independence in being able to pursue financial industry reform.

During his remarks to the crowd, Sanders also reiterated his support for legislation pending in Congress that would mandate that employers provide three months of paid leave after a family has a child.

“I also don’t subscribe to Secretary Clinton’s economic theory, which is to take orders from the big banks of Wall Street to create an economy that is of the few and by the few and for the few”.

“Our daughter is madly insane about Bernie Sanders and she said, ‘Mom you’ve gotta go, ‘” Jones said.

In a mostly unnoticed bit of political re-branding, the Clinton campaign has informed the Washington Post to now call her “Hillary Clinton”, instead of the “Hillary Rodham Clinton” moniker she has used since 1993.

“I would hope every candidate would join me in saying finally, finally, health care must be a right for all people”, Sanders said in a not-so-thinly veiled jab at Clinton.

In an interview Sunday with the Des Moines Register, Mr. Sanders came out swinging against Mrs. Clinton’s policy proposals, while defending his own. She says she would “break up the big banks” if necessary and hold financial executives accountable.

How can we tell which story is more important: “Clinton controls” or “party controls”?

Jake Quinn, an uncommitted Democratic superdelegate from North Carolina, said he was concerned about Clinton’s willingness to clamp down on Wall Street malfeasance. During a gaggle with reporters outside of the state party on Saturday, Sanders said he knows it’ll be hard to close the very wide gap with African-American voters in SC.

Carly Fiorina fares the worst against Clinton: they tie at 42 percent.

If Hillary Clinton achieves her goal and becomes the US’s first woman president, will she govern as Hillary Clinton, or as Hillary Rodham Clinton? “That’s a reality that has to change”, Sanders said.

Meanwhile, 46 percent of Clintons supporters say they cant be persuaded by another candidate, compared with 36 percent of Sanderss backers.

O’Malley was even more direct the Sanders, telling reporters after his speech that Clinton, because of her more hawkish foreign policy, had “one foot trapped in the Cold War” and “has never demonstrated a capacity to understand what comes after a regime is toppled”.
