Sanders calls on Trump to apologize for campaign rhetoric
I think that the President-Elect has got to understand that numerous things that he said during the campaign, the ideas that he brought forth are terribly offensive, and frightening to millions and millions of people. He writes that “antiquated and reactionary” voting laws disenfranchised many of his supporters in NY and that the decision by The Associated Press to call the primary for Clinton, based on interviews with super delegates, the day before the California primary “had a negative impact on voter turnout and hurt us”.
Bernie Sanders is back on the stump. Their path is going to be made more challenging by a failure to come to terms with the real reasons voters are deserting the party in droves. Not only that, but plenty of polls strongly predicted Clinton would win the election.
So, against their claims of impartiality (which a political party’s committee should be until a nominee is chosen), the Schultz-led DNC actively opposed one of the most popular, beloved politicians in years. Workers simply didn’t trust her when it came to protecting their livelihoods. She took the side of Black Lives Matter protesters against the police.
But not everyone agrees with this diagnosis.
“This is painful, and it will be for a long time“, Clinton said in her concession speech Wednesday in NY. The message itself was fine.
“I was named today part of the leadership, I think my title is to head outreach efforts and that is something that I take very seriously”, he said, adding that mobilising people in resistance is the way to counter Mr. Trump’s agenda. “I would hope very, very, very much that Mr. Trump understands that is not something he should do”. He said he is focused on removing criminal illegal immigrants from the country, not breaking up families. “None of those things are true”. “In the role, Sanders will be in charge of reaching out to blue-collar voters who flocked to President-elect Donald Trump this year”, the outlet reports. “Their concerns are mostly cultural and identitarian”, he told me. They’re exhausted of the “elites” and the “bankers”. These people are old. “Something is fundamentally wrong”, Sanders said. And Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the chamber’s current party leader, has also backed Ellison’s bid. After all, the TPP is dead, killed by Trump. The result was a Democratic primary battle between a septuagenarian and a 68-year-old anxious that their weaknesses might invite a late challenge from a seventysomething sitting vice president. But in the states that flipped from blue to red, the counties with the largest turnout decline were full of white Democrats. For many states-particularly those in the Midwest-trade deals that disproportionately affect manufacturing would certainly not pass muster.
Prior to the election, when asked about their perceptions of whether the economy is getting better or worse, only 16% of Republicans told Gallup pollsters that the economy was getting better.
This presidential election needs to serve as a cautionary tale for the Democratic Party.
Shahid went on to echo Ahmed’s statements: “The approach mimics that of the Tea Party”, the organizer explained, “which has used insurgent primary bids to unsettle establishment Republicans and drive the Republican Party rightward”. In each case, we compared the certified state results from 2012 to the unofficial 2016 Associated Press totals published by Politico since many state totals aren’t certified yet.
