“You know, before it was called Obamacare, it was called Hillarycare”, Clinton said. Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said Clinton’s campaign was “getting very nervous and is becoming increasingly negative and desperate”. Instead, they sought to portray Hillary Clinton as an experienced, inclusive and lifelong change agent who is best poised to lead the country. Sanders touched on common refrains, decrying billionaires and railing against mass incarceration, while Clinton touted the progress made by the Affordable Care Act and emphasized her relationship with President Barack Obama.
Clinton invoked Obama or his administration 21 times during the debate and used the president, who remains popular with rank-and-file Democrats, as a shield to push back against Sanders’ critiques.
Sanders fired the shot after The Washington Post reported that Priorities USA Action, the main super PAC supporting Clinton, will launch a radio campaign in SC and a $4.5 million effort to drive early turnout of black, Latino and female voters in states with March primaries. His campaigns says it expects his impassioned calls for raising the minimum wage, breaking up Wall Street banks, and overhauling the current campaign finance system to resonate in more diverse states as well as it did in Iowa and New Hampshire. However, among the young blacks, in the age group of 18 to 29, Clinton’s support margin shrinks to just 46 percent to Sanders’ 33 percent, Reuters/Ipsos poll revealed. “And I know how hard he worked against implacable hostility at every single turn”. Civil rights leader John Lewis praised her civil rights record and was pretty dismissive of Sanders. Clinton finished with a “Good bless you”.
“When we stand together – white, black, Hispanic, gay, straight, woman, and man – when we stand together and demand that this country works for all of us rather than the few, we will transform America”, Sanders said. They can do it, we can do it.
American Crossroads is spending about $40,000 on an online advertisement that likens Sanders opponent Hillary Clinton to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump when it comes to immigration policy.
On Friday, Sanders received the support of the Black Lives Matter movement in his home state.
“There’s a lot of concern first that the picks aren’t legitimate enough with the party voters and then there’s a concern that the system is just too wild west and the party elites have no control over it and the kind of candidates that are able to do well under this system aren’t able to do well in the general”.
