Democrats share views during First in the South Presidential Forum
Although Clinton noted she isn’t familiar with the specifics of the bill, she said she would take a look immediately and stated there are two problems. “But it should always be the last resort, not the first choice”. Sanders (I., Vt.) clarified his outburst during the CNN Democratic debate on October 13 during which he defended Clinton on the email issues.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) tempered his recent critiques of Hillary Clinton in an interview on Sunday, while continuing to stress his political differences with the former secretary of state.
When asking Clinton about credit reform and Congresswoman Maxine Waters’ (D-CA) Fair Credit Improvement Act, Martin shared a personal example of how he didn’t get a job early in his career due to a poor credit report. “I think that at the end of the day, what we have to do is re-establish Glass-Steagall, we have to break up these huge financial institutions. Like “hang out” or ‘I’m good either way'”.
O’Malley didn’t train all his fire on Clinton, however.
Maddow questioned O’Malley about his low poll numbers. You’ve got to walk the walk.
O’Malley parried Weaver’s jab. And I like to think and relax and sleep and stuff like that. “Sanders was trying to find someone to primary him”, he charged.
Sanders, in particular, has vowed to avoid character attacks, making an intense focus on policy a key part of his insurgent rise.
Democrats finally woke up and saw Hillary Clinton was under investigation by the FBI and has repeatedly lied to the victim’s families of Benghazi, and to the public. “I want to be the president for the successful and the striving in this country”. “I’m not a former Republican”.
Hillary Clinton tried at a Democratic forum Friday to soften her rhetoric on the death penalty and foreign policy while avoiding giving any answers that would alienate a general electorate.
But he quickly pivoted back to hitting her for reliance on a super PAC and top-dollar Democratic donors.
Clinton was scheduled Saturday to appear at an afternoon town hall event in Orangeburg hosted by the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus and deliver the keynote address at a dinner in Columbia sponsored by SC Equality, a group that advocates for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
While Democratic Presidential candidate Martin O’Malley said “I think for the first time, people know there’s more than 2 candidates”.
“Anyone can talk about it”, he said, “but we actually did it”.
Sanders also complained that Clinton “has kind of misstated my view” on guns, referring to her frequent references to a line he used during the first Democratic debate, imploring her Americans to “stop shouting” about the issue, which she has suggested is a sexist gibe.
Asked why he voted against banning guns on Amtrak trains, Sanders noted, “You can put unloaded guns into the baggage department of a plane”. But O’Malley was quickly rocked on his heels as he explained his own history presiding over the implementation of Zero Tolerance policing as mayor of Baltimore.
Sanders, a USA senator from Vermont whose campaign has reached out to young voters, took chances to appeal to an electorate who may not really know him by saying the same issues facing South Carolinians are faced by residents of Vermont. “I was there with Martin Luther King Jr.in the March On Washington”.
Clinton, meanwhile, ticked down a list of stories of police violence on black residents.
“Certainly, my leading opponent and I have a disagreement on this issue”, Sanders told the audience.
