He’s also the most credible, given his record and his refusal (in stark contrast to Hillary Clinton) to accept corporate funding for his campaign.
But don’t take the Arkansas senator too seriously: Cotton has had harsh words for Sanders in the past.
“With respect to my opponent, who is a friend of mine, I think I have a broader, more comprehensive set of policies about everything, including taking on Wall Street“, Clinton said, adding that she wants to “go after everybody who poses a risk to our financial system” while Sanders doesn’t.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is not playing favorites in the 2016 race on her pet issue, cracking down on Wall Street. Tom Cotton, offered tongue-in-cheek support for the Vermont senator in the Democratic presidential contest. Gunnel highlighted an analysis from Guggenheim Partners, an investment firm that said Sanders’s agenda would have “radical impacts”.
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have been circling each other on electability for days, knocking one another from afar over which candidate stands a better chance to beat Republicans in November’s general.
