In 2016, Clinton and Sanders turn to GOP to win Democrats
The State Department¿s search for documents during Secretary of State Hillary Clinton¿s tenure contributed to “inaccurate and incomplete¿ responses under federal open records laws, including the existence of her private email account, the agency¿s watchdog will report”.
Wall Street reform is a signature issue for Warren, a consumer protection advocate who proposed and helped establish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in response to the 2008 financial crisis.
He, Clinton and O’Malley all share the goal of defeating Republicans and “right-wing extremism”, Sanders said.
While the former secretary of state has led Nevada polls, Sanders has poured money and staff into the state in recent weeks in hopes of pulling off an upset.
“If I get off to a good start here in Iowa, we’re halfway home”, Clinton said in Davenport.
Sanders struck back at Clinton, albeit obliquely, in a speech that otherwise strayed little from his usual core theme of income inequality and social justice.
Of all the candidates, Bernie Sanders has been the most consistent when it comes to regulating the vultures on Wall Street. “The reality is that Congress doesn’t regulate Wall Street“. Her Wall Street plan is aimed primarily at protecting regulations already in place, strengethening rules on some lightly regulated sectors and drafting tough regulators to enforce them.
During the course of his remarks, the presidential candidate specifically named several companies when talking about what he sees as reckless and monopolistic behavior on Wall Street, including Bank of America, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase and others. She responded by stating that she has “just as much passion as reflected in her proposal to deal with the financial industry”; she also vowed not to raise taxes on households making less than $250,000 annually. Obama has sought to avoid showing favoritism in the Democratic primary, in which Clinton and Sanders have both portrayed themselves as the best protector of Obama’s legacy.
Between selfies on ropeline at a rally in a hotel ballroom ahead of Wednesday night’s cattle call, Sanders put two of his fans on the spot: “You guys going to come out the caucus?”
“I think white people are as appalled as African-Americans and Latinos in seeing what we’re seeing on television, and that is unarmed people being killed while they’re in police custody”, Sander said.
Now, my opponent, Secretary Clinton says that Glass-Steagall would not have prevented the financial crisis because shadow banks like AIG and Lehman Brothers, not big commercial banks, were the real culprits.
Mr Sanders favours breaking up too big to fail banks and reinstating a version of the Glass-Steagall Act, a Depression-era law that prohibited commercial banks from engaging in investment banking activities. Sanders said that these steps reflect the larger ethos of his whole campaign, which is to create a more equitable wealth structure in American society.
Bernie Sanders to dismantle the nation’s largest banks if he was elected president received glowing praise from a Senate colleague from a neighboring state. Currently, 46% of likely Democratic primary voters support the former First Lady and U.S. Senator, while 35% are backing Sanders. Sanders added to the delight of his friendly crowd.
“But let me very clear: That result will not happen with establishment politics and establishment economics”, he said. And even if Clinton might not win over progressives on a core Sanders issue, she’s really just trying to narrow the gap.
