The union did not support Clinton in her 2008 presidential campaign, coming out at that time for Barack Obama, who wound up winning the Democratic nomination and the election.
“I am willing to break up the big banks if they need to be broken up, and I am more than willing to hold executives accountable when they make decisions that cause the rest of the economy the troubles that we saw”, she said.
After her speech, Clinton, like the other two candidates, sat down to sign paperwork that will put her name on the state’s February 27 ballot.
O’Malley was even more direct the Sanders, telling reporters after his speech that Clinton, because of her more hawkish foreign policy, had “one foot trapped in the Cold War” and “has never demonstrated a capacity to understand what comes after a regime is toppled”.
Clinton is the current favorite among South Carolinia Democrats, earning 69 percent of the vote among likely Democratic primary voters in the state, according to a Monmouth University Poll released earlier this month.
“You know your story is so incredibly moving and it’s also a story for so many people, that’s what I keep finding, everywhere I go”, Clinton told Thompson in a video of the exchange provided by the campaign.
Since the last Bloomberg Politics National Poll, Clinton has faced her chief rivals, Sanders and former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, in two nationally televised debates and won positive reviews for her performance during a day-long grilling by Republicans investigating her handling of 2012 terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead, including a USA ambassador. Her campaign pointed to a bill proposed by Sanders in the Senate in 2013 to create a single-payer health care system that would have increased income taxes and payroll taxes to pay for it.
“Bill Clinton is probably the most popular living president”.
Clinton says that she is the only primary candidate committed to holding current tax rates on average workers.
“I’m going to campaign in Tennessee to try and turn it blue in November 2016”, she said. If we think more of a Clinton candidacy, rather than of Hillary Clinton the candidate, then we can see how the party has deep roots in most major campaigns. “Well guess what, you’ve got three”, he told the crowd.
Clinton met New Hampshire resident Keith Thompson before a September appearance.

“She was waving the bloody shirt of 9/11 to defend herself, which we’re accustomed to seeing with demagogues on the right, and it just didn’t feel quite right”, said Kurt Meyer, a co-chairman of the Mitchell County Democrats in Iowa, who has not endorsed a candidate. Sanders momentum nationally appears to have stalled, Selzer said.
