Running for president “is really hard”, according to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Thursday.
On the subject of capital punishment, Clinton said that terrorism and racially motivated crimes (like the mass shooting in Charleston, South Carolina) warranted a conversation about the use of the death penalty – but too many states (predominantly, but not exclusively, in the South, she said) had been too quick to send people to death row.
“I went to Wall Street”. I know people are going to say I dodged the question.
He said he doesn’t want to go negative on Clinton, saying he hates the pressure the media puts on him to attack the former secretary of state.
“First dude. First mate”.
“This is an important first draft, focusing on non-violent drug offenses”, said activist DeRay Mckesson of Campaign Zero, which met with Clinton last month in hopes to influence her platform based on its own recommendations. She did offer Bush a piece of free advice, however, when it came to his campaign slogan, “Jeb Can Fix It”.
The three Democratic presidential candidates made a concerted pitch to black voters Friday at an MSNBC candidate forum in this first-in-the-South primary state.

“I wasn’t able to make her immune to setbacks, as we saw in the aftermath of Freddie Gray’s death”, O’Malley said, defending policies during his time as mayor that had been considered heavy handed by a few. He was a hugely successful president whose years in the Oval Office are fondly remembered by so many Americans for the tens of millions of jobs that were created and the peace and prosperity they brought to the nation.
“There are Republicans I could pick, just none of them”, she said.

Clinton has been a favorite target of Donald Trump and other Republican candidates, but she told Kimmel the criticism is just election-season noise. The boys at the table asserted women are too girly and not buff enough to handle the responsibility of the White House while the girls at the table said women are absolutely smarter. “They might even paint it pink”, he said. And in the wake of that scandal, 50 percent of veterans said they found it hard to get care, while 60 percent had lost confidence in the VA. When Kimmel asked the kids to imagine a female president at war, the little ladies defended female capabilities, claiming a woman would “make it stop so people could be more healthy and they won’t die”.
