As for Biden, he’s got everything a presidential candidate could ask for without verbally committing to his own campaign. A few analysts have said that was one big reason she had lost the Democratic nomination. Not in this presidential campaign, anyway.

In a Friday night rally attended by at least 11,000 adoring fans in Tucson, Arizona, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders skewered Donald Trump for what he described as racist vote-baiting, praised undocumented immigrants, slammed gun law loopholes and called for increasing the federal minimum wage.
But a few of the loudest applause came from the crowd as Sanders discussed comprehensive immigration reform. But she noted in July that “what you can do in L.A. or in New York may not work in other places”.
Bill Palmer at the politics website Daily Newsbin opines that “even as Barack Obama has ultimately emerged as the logical progressive successor to JFK and FDR, we’re now seeing Hillary emerge as the logical successor to Obama”. She added, “The word had a retro connection to Communism and was originally thrown at him as a damning label by his opponents“.
“You’re looking at a candidate who does not go about attacking people personally,” Sanders said Wednesday.
Both Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Vice President Biden, who has yet to announce whether he will run for president, gained supporters from Clintons loss.
Sanders argued that while the issue of gun control is “not going to be solved easily”, that “does not mean we do not address it and do the best we can”.
Unlike Clinton, Sanders doesn’t seem to have profited from the big money he rails against.
“I seriously like his message about how the Republicans are hoping to win by division and that the answer to that is to come with each other“. She hits populist notes on that topic, but puts more emphasis on boosting economic growth. By the time Rodham graduated from college, she was a Democrat.
By those gauges, she still represents the centrist side of her party. “When we stand together there’s nothing that can quit us from transforming this country”. “Our resources are now being used to invest in grassroots mobilization efforts”. That assessment comes as Clinton has taken flak for evolving positions on a number of issues, including the Keystone XL oil pipeline and the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. This can be read as a sign of how the new Clintonomics carries important elements of the old. He has railed against the “one per cent” and billionaires “buying elections”, and even says America could benefit from Scandinavian-style socialism.
Clinton was in fact nice to agree that a input have “evolved” all over the existence.
Those specifics sound very similar to things Obama has championed.
In a rare moment of common ground with Republicans, Sanders also linked the issue to the need for improved mental health services. “She’s also trying to prove to the public that she’s not a hologram, that she has dimension”.
Clinton said at an Iowa campaign stop this week that her Wall Street plan would focus on more than banks, taking into account any kind of financial institution that causes disruption in the marketplace. It is the story of hardworking families coming into this country to create a brighter future for their children. A week before, she was at 48.5 per cent in an average of polls, the highest she had ever been.

Releasing the plan on Thursday makes sense for Clinton, who will spend the weekend preparing for next week’s CNN Democratic Primary debate, the first in the nominating process.
