Hillary Clinton Wins DC Election, Final Primary of 2016, Meets With Sanders
Hillary Clinton told USA TODAY on Wednesday she plans to make the case for why Donald Trump is “temperamentally unfit” to manage the nation’s economy and pledged to end a tax loophole for wealthy Americans by executive action if necessary in a preview of a second major policy address, scheduled for next week, that casts the real estate mogul as unsafe and unqualified. Clinton, accompanied by campaign manager Robby Mook and campaign chairman John Podesta, met Sanders, who was joined by his wife Jane and campaign manager Jeff Weaver. But the statement from Sanders’ campaign did not say he and Clinton talked about party unity, while the Clinton campaign’s statement did.
Sanders, who lost the presidential nomination to Hillary Clinton, wants Wasserman Schultz removed, a view he repeated publicly on Tuesday before a private meeting with Clinton. “The Sanders statement said they would work toward “a progressive platform” for the convention”. Clinton will meet Sanders on neutral territory in Washington D.C.
Go figure: A relentlessly arrogant sociopath, who has already nailed down the unhinged dullard bloc by suggesting that he was going to trash democracy as we know it, wants to expand his base by adding millions of voters who believe in using government to solve real problems that affect us all.
Whether she likes it or not, Bernie Sanders is not yet done with DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Shultz.
Clinton and Sanders met after she carried the final Democratic primary in Washington, D.C. Still, the 11.5 million voters who plumped for Sanders remain a formidable force, and many of them are implacable foes of Clinton, who they see as part of the old establishment.
Hillary Clinton easily won of the final Democratic primary of 2016 in the District of Columbia. “We have to stop them, and we will”, Clinton said in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday.
This love note to Clinton came less than a day after Sanders held a news conference and pledged to fight for a “fundamental transformation” of the Democratic Party at the convention and beyond.
Details about the live stream give no indication of what Sanders could announce, but teases “the political revolution continues”. Her victory comes a week after Clinton was declared the presumptive democratic nominee and received endorsements from key Democrats, including Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, and Joe Biden.
Speaking of the general election, a new national poll has Hillary Clinton beating Donald Trump by 12%. It noted that the two “agreed to continue working on their shared agenda, including through the platform development process for the upcoming Democratic National Convention”.
Vermont Senator had a positive discussion with Clinton about how best to bring more people into the political process and about the “dangerous” threat that Trump poses to the US. “Let me make very clear: I think Donald Trump is totally unfit to be president of the United States”.
The Republican Party of Iowa used similar technology at its district conventions, and the response was so favorable the party contracted to use them at its state convention last month, spokesman Taylor Mason said.
