Democrats announce participants in Nov. 6 S. Carolina debate

What can be gathered from the overall national presidential poll is that Hillary Clinton seems to still be maintaining a strong lead, although slipping a bit from her ratings in last month’s results.

– Hillary Rodham Clinton offered an emotional plea for tougher gun control laws on Monday, vowing after last week’s deadly Oregon school shooting to tighten regulations on firearms buyers and sellers with a combination of congressional and executive action.

According to Clinton’s campaign, the spot is part of a new national cable TV ad buy that begins on Tuesday.

Thirty-seven percent of likely Democratic primary voters said they would react enthusiastically if Clinton won the nomination, down 9 percentage points from May. Despite this, it has the lowest rate of gun violence and gun murder in the country.

Under the former first lady’s policy proposal, gun dealers and manufacturers who don’t operate safely and responsibly would be held accountable.

O’Malley’s campaign called Clinton’s comments “disappointing” and said she was “embracing arguments pushed by the architects of deregulation that big banks did not play a major role in the financial crisis”. Obama tried to shift the focus to modest legislation after Newtown and the horror of 20 murdered first-graders, but Congress, astonishingly, wasn’t interested in doing anything about assault-style rifles or the handguns that take down children on the streets of Chicago.

The cornerstone of the plan is to prevent violent criminals, people accused of domestic abuse, and the mentally ill from acquiring firearms, largely by expanding the background check system for weapons purchases and closing loopholes that allow millions of Internet and gun-show weapons sales to go unscreened. “It’s time for us to say we’re better than this”. As a senator, Clinton opposed the measure while Sanders supported it in the House.

Speaking in Iowa Wednesday, the Democratic presidential hopeful said Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis was “treated as she should have been treated”.

In exchange for the dough, Correct the Record conducts opposition research on Clinton’s opponents – mostly Republicans but also Democratic contenders. In the aftermath of the mass shooting at Umpqua, Barack Obama made the unexpected argument that we should be politicizing these shootings – that it’s the only way to move the issue.

Clinton has previously stopped short of joining a few of her fellow Democrats in calling for the committee to be disbanded.

Sanders hasn’t put out a comprehensive gun control plan yet, and there’s no section devoted to exactly where he stands on the “Issues” page on his website. “He’s doing this for his own political purposes, and that’s wrong, ‘” says Hassell.

“Enough”, Clinton said at a town hall in Hollis, New Hampshire broadcast on theTodayshow.
