Hillary Clinton Turns to Bill Clinton to Raise Campaign Funds

Immigration has taken a leading role in the Democratic presidential campaign as Hillary Rodham Clinton, Martin O’Malley and Sanders have appealed to the party’s growing segment of Latino voters.

Roemer’s gratitude is why she keeps a large stash of “Bernie” stickers and posters in her vehicle and is urging people she knows to back his White House bid.

A dozen states hold votes that day and award delegates on a proportional basis rather than awarding all to the victor, so Weaver said the campaign calculated that it is important to compete hard in all of them rather than skip states where Sanders may not perform as well as Clinton.

Roemer’s comments crystallize a risk Clinton faces as she courts organized labor – a potential enthusiasm gap. Clinton picked up the endorsement of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Ironworkers, a union that represents 120,000 ironworkers in North America. More specifically, she said that she would be “taking on insurance companies to bring down drug prices”, suggesting that she supports the popular belief that it is the insurers that are making those costs as high as they are for American families.

“We will have paid staffers here pretty quickly, but my message is Hillary’s going to fight for every vote here”, Mauro said.

The IBEW has held off from endorsing a presidential candidate, in part because of a letter-writing campaign from union members who wanted to buy more time for Sanders to woo members and build momentum. Mecoy ended up spending about 90 days in Texas after Clinton’s announcement, Mauro said. On Saturday she unveiled a 30-second spot promoting the Affordable Care Act, and another featuring clips of herself working for health reform in Washington.

“As I’ve said throughout this campaign, the people at the heart of this issue are children, parents, families, DREAMers”.

Those proposals aren’t worrying her backers on Wall Street, who argue that her time representing NY gives Clinton a deep understanding of how their industry works.

The group will be holding signs and gathering support for the Vermont senator.

Her backers in the financial industry say they have little expectation her family’s personal profits will influence her policymaking, noting their own opposition to her plan to raise taxes on hedge fund and private equity gains known as carried interest. “She has such a long history with Texas and she understands the politics of Texas such that I don’t think she’s one of those that writes us off as a red state”.

While Bill Clinton draws on his charisma to win over potential donors, his wife applied what Post writers Matea Gold, Tom Hamburger and Anu Narayanswamy dubbed the former first lady’s “characteristic attentiveness”.
