Democrats woo black voters, key to South Carolina primary

The events follow a Friday forum at Winthrop University in which Sanders, Clinton and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley each pitched themselves as the best standard-bearer for progressive policies.

For Sanders, the Vermont independent senator, it was an important departure from the tone he set in the primary’s only debate so far. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal published last week, he made very clear that he believes that the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server while she was at the State Department is worthy and should continue. Sanders and O’Malley used the night to try and cut into an African-American electorate strongly in favor of Clinton.

“If we are going to make progress on this issue – and I know Hillary Clinton has kind of misstated my view – as a nation, we are going to have to stop shouting at each other, and we’re going to have to come together”, he said. Which is a nice way of saying that Hillary Clinton is bought and paid for without actually saying it. What I’m trying to do now with young people, with working class people, with low income people, with middle class people, is to say, you know what, United States government is your government. Well, it depends on who you ask.

Courting African American voters: I’m running against a candidate who ran for president in 2008, so she has already established a number of relationships all over the country including the African American community and the Latino community.

Maddow then moved to the defeat of Houston’s HERO equal rights ordinance and asked Clinton what went wrong, given that Houston is a “blue dot” of progressivism in red Texas. “I am a Democrat”. I’m not a former Republican. “I’m not a former Republican”. “I believe in the party of Franklin Roosevelt”. “I mean it’s one of the reasons why I am so passionate about gun safety and ending the violence”. And I’ve never once rejected the nomination of the Democratic Party. “But I also like time alone”.

If she became president, Hillary Clinton remains uncertain on the title to give her husband.

“I think this is a reminder that if you stand for equal rights, if you stand against discrimination, you don’t just do it once and you’re done”, she added. “But I also fault the neoconservatives within my party like Rubio who have been eager for war in Libya, in Syria, in Iraq, and they want a no-fly zone in an airspace where Russian Federation is already flying”, Paul said. Admitting she was an “unenthusiastic” supporter of capital punishment, Clinton said it still may be appropriate in certain cases, such as domestic and foreign terrorism.

Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, argued that raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, for example, would help the plight of millions of single mothers, as would making child care more affordable and requiring that employers pay men and women equal wages for equal work.

The candidates will face off at the next democratic debate November 14 in Des Moines, Iowa.

But Maddow didn’t just stick to serious topics.

Later Friday, Jeff Zucker, the current president of CNN, responded to Sanders. “Tell me why she’s the worst person in the world”.
