SEIU Endorses Hillary Clinton, But Rank-and-File Activists Say Push for Bernie

Clinton was holding a rally in Dallas later Tuesday in which she planned to discuss the health care overhaul under Obama. “I can certainly say there’s a lot of folks on Wall Street that don’t agree with her platform and her agenda, but she has stuck to it”. The establishment political press can no longer control the national discussion.

Clinton defended her comments later in the debate after a viewer on Twitter criticized the answer.

The Democratic front-runner said Sanders’ approach would “eliminate” major pieces of the health care system, including private insurance, Medicaid, the Tricare system for veterans and other coverage. “Never before have I seen an American president project such weakness or the global stage, let alone at a time when the world is in such desperate need of the leadership that only we can provide”.

Elsewhere in the debate, Sanders hit Clinton over her history of friendliness toward Wall Street.

When Sanders said big contributors “expect to get something” for their money, Clinton might have at least sounded more candid if she’d risked a response like: “Of course big money goes to the party’s front-runner, which is what I am”.

“She’s saying ‘don’t question me for the money I’ve taken on my campaign because they donated on 9/11.’ That’s ridiculous”, said Riches. They expect to get something.

The industry also supported her husband, former President Bill Clinton, during his two White House campaigns and backed her campaigns to serve NY in the Senate. “Those of us who were there know that”, the former president said, according to Bloomberg.

In a statement to NBC News Monday, and official for the Clinton campaign called the criticism inaccurate. “That’s the fact and I suspect she was trying to deflect attention away from that fact”, Mr. Sanders said. “We were attacked in downtown Manhattan, where Wall Street is”, she said.

Clinton ultimately used a few form of the word terrorist, jihadist, or extremist 15 times, compared to three times for Sanders, who spent much of his opening statement railing against the “rigged economy”, and once for O’Malley.

O’Malley and Sanders have made Clinton’s Wall Street ties and positions the key pillar of their assault on her. Clinton is known for meticulous preparation. “That is the sort of company, that is the sort economic advice that she would follow”. Her principle rival, Senator Bernie Sanders, by contrast, has squarely supported the more generous level.

“It is unconscionable that millions of new parents in this country are forced back to work because they don’t have the income to stay home with their newborn babies”, he said.

As she has done during previous visits to the state, Clinton reminded the crowd of her efforts to register voters in South Texas during the 1970s.
