Sanders, Clinton (and guest) speak at same Las Vegas church

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continued the criticism of her rival for the Democratic nomination, Vermont Sen.

Sanders’s extended answer didn’t help him either. “We both have a lot of small donors”. There will be a firewall of sorts for her. She and her husband, Bill Clinton, have a track record here with black voters, and there’s a relationship there.

Clinton headed from Elko to Reno for other campaign events, while Sanders campaigned Monday in MI. Clinton enjoys the support of Democratic Party insiders and activists she’s known and worked with for years, while the lesser known Sanders is relying on small money donations and an army of younger voters and more liberal backers not as connected with the party. “She talked about getting the approval or the support or the mentoring of Henry Kissinger”, Sanders said. But her rate of small-dollar contributions isn’t that much different than that of some of the GOP contenders.

Clinton is more organized in Colorado but Sanders shouldn’t be underestimated when it comes to his supporters turning out. Bernie Sanders squared off Thursday in a debate hosted by PBS NewsHour at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. “There’s absolutely nothing negative about each candidate holding each other accountable for their votes and for their statements”, Joel Benenson, one of Clinton’s senior strategists, told CNN. Clinton was scheduled to be in Nevada campaigning this weekend, while Sanders was in Minnesota Friday and was set to head to Colorado on Saturday.

There’s one thing we can say for certain about Sanders’ comments of Obama: When talking about the president, Sanders often delivers praise with a “but”. And in the pressure-filled atmosphere of the campaign, with two camps squaring off – camps that include not just candidates but their staffs, their surrogates, their endorsers, and just ordinary supporters – there are bound to be some intemperate things said, and there will be plenty of reporters around to hear them.

Bill Clinton was the welfare-reform-era-of-big-government-is-over triangulation president. “And particularly for those of us who are Democrats, their electability”, Clinton said while campaigning in Iowa last month ahead of the caucus there. It’s notable that in 2008, Clinton led with African-Americans for much of the campaign leading up to the start of the voting. “That is beyond unspeakable”. Clinton stayed for the entire service and Sanders left early, heading to a rally at a nearby high school.

Since then, the incarceration rate for black men has actually gone down instead of up, according to the Sentencing Project. I want you to worry about my kids and I have got to worry about your children and your grandchildren. “Let me concur with the Secretary”, Sanders said at another.

Clinton said that she supports Obama’s executive action to provide amnesty to millions of immigrants in the country illegally but is against the deportation raids that target families who have already been ordered to leave the country by an immigration judge. “That is the only way real change will happen”.

Sanders late last week picked up an endorsement from the Las Vegas-based International Brotherhood of Electric Workers Local 357, marking an important inroad on the labor movement. But that was not reflected in what Sanders wrote.

THE FACTS: Not so. “In my view healthcare is a right of all people, not a privilege, and I will fight for that”. “Human activity has contributed to it”. Marco Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Dr. Ben Carson and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
