Sanders online fundraising gives Clinton a run for her money

She says Obama “got the largest number of Wall Street donations”.

“When it mattered, he stood up and took on Wall Street”, she said.

He has argued that the fact that Clinton accepts contributions from financial groups means she is less likely to take on Wall Street in office. Even in the last debate, under a constant barrage of attacks from Clinton, Sanders seemed unwilling to deliver such a personal one-liner.

Trump tells a crowd of thousands at a rally in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, that “you have to get along with everybody” when you’re in business. Last I heard, we lived in a democratic society. Mrs Clinton criticised Mr Sanders for voting against a reform measure in 2007, which Mr Sanders defended because of a provision in the bill for guest workers.

While they clashed over that vote, they both agree there needs to be comprehensive immigration reform.

Clinton’s reply? She said she supports the Dodd-Frank law, and the belief that no bank is too big to fail.

“Both of us share the goal of trying to make college affordable for all young Americans”, Clinton promised, though with a different plan.

Clinton is parlaying a question about whether white people should feel resentful into a description of how communities of all races have been left behind. Both the upcoming Democratic contests (Nevada caucuses on February 20, SC primary on February 27) have far more Latino and African-American voters than Iowa and New Hampshire.

For Republicans, South Carolina is another chance to emerge as a viable alternative to Trump, the billionaire who snatched the race away from the Republican establishment.

At least eight of the top 12 donors the pro-Clinton Priorities USA Action are Jewish – and one more is married to a Jew. “This campaign is not just about electing a president”, he said.

She also accused Sanders of straying out of the bounds of intra-party policy disputes. His team is also releasing an ad featuring Erica Garner, the daughter of Eric Garner, whose police chokehold death led to protests against the New York Police Department. On Wednesday, he held a heavily publicized breakfast with civil rights activist Al Sharpton in Harlem, and Ta-Nehisi Coates, an influential writer on racial issues, said he would vote for Sanders.

“We’re not going to dismantle anything”, he insisted, explaining that middle-class families would pay $500 more in taxes while receiving 10 times that amount in the reduction of health care costs.

The Vermont senator said during Thursday’s Democratic presidential debate in Milwaukee that Republicans love to campaign on cutting government for the good of the people.

Sanders says, “if that’s not hypocrisy, I don’t know what hypocrisy is”.

It is also true that differences of opinion and the jabs from candidates and their staffs are part and parcel of presidential contests, even while each side claims the high ground.

“I’m not asking people to support me because I’m a woman”, Clinton said. The socialist said early on he decided he did not want a Super PAC to support his candidacy. “Calling the President weak, calling him a disappointment, calling several times that he should have a primary opponent when he ran for re-election in 2012, you know, I think that goes further than saying we have our disagreements”.

White House hopeful, Hillary Clinton and her fellow democrat, Bernie Sanders, have locked horns over who will better defend the policies of incumbent President, Barack Obama.

So if Clinton couldn’t out-progressive him – how could she, Sanders pointed out in the night’s strangest exchange, if she bragged about being pals with, yes, Henry Kissinger? – she decided she would out-Obama him. “I am proud to say that Henry Kissinger is not my friend”, he said. “And I just couldn’t disagree more with those kinds of comments”.

From a political analyst’s perspective, it’s a completely valid criticism – but when you’re running in a Democratic primary with an extremely popular Democratic president, it is, well, a weird move.

The killing was “one of the worst genocides in the history of the world”, he said.

Clinton’s single biggest objective all night – especially heading into SC, where African-American voters are hugely influential – was to drive a wedge between Sanders and Obama. Philosophically, Clinton supporters would no doubt like to frame the debate as her pragmatism vs his idealism, but the better comparison is her opportunism vs his authenticity.

Sanders has downplayed the role of religion in his campaign.

Aligned with a corrupt campaign-finance system is a rigged economy. Sen.

“At the end of my first term, we will not have more people in jail than any other country”, he said. “I certainly hope and expect to be supporting the president, but it’s a little bit early in the process”.
