Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have faced off numerous times in televised debates.
But armed now with a number of wins and a roughly 200 delegate lead over Sanders, Clinton has grown more confident that she will be the Democrat nominee in Philadelphia in July.
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both laid out plans to solve the Flint water crisis at last night’s debate in Flint.
The two big-government politicians split hairs over gun control, poverty reduction and trade, but they were in agreement when it came to solving the water problems in Flint: It’s a job for big government and Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder must resign.
After a brief pause, Clinton said, “If you’re going to talk, tell the whole story”, to which Sanders shot back, “Let me tell my story and you tell yours”. “She did”, Sanders said, referring to Clinton’s time as a NY senator.
Clinton has built a significant lead over Sanders in delegates, marching ahead of him with 1,130 delegates to the Vermont senator’s 499 and has already begun focusing some of her attention on the general election.
“Let me tell my story, you tell yours”, Mr Sanders said at another moment.
As Obama’s secretary of state, Clinton was far more enthusiastic about the Pacific trade deal taking shape than she became once she was running for president and trying to appeal to the liberal wing of her party.
From there, the candidates clashed over trade, the auto bailout, guns, and ties to Wall Street in the feistiest debate yet. In Sanders’ words, “NAFTA, supported by the Secretary cost us 800,000 jobs nationwide, tens of thousands of jobs in the Midwest”. “I’ve seen many an interview with them, and obviously followed their campaigns very closely”, said Baier. “In every primary and caucus that we have won, we have won by double digit numbers and we’re winning all across the country”.
While the discussion didn’t reveal serious policy differences between the candidates, it did highlight the divide between Democrats and Republicans, who spent their debate comparing the relative size of their fingers and other body parts. Both Sanders and Clinton called for accountability and expressed outrage. “I will be damned if it was the working people of this country who had to bail out the crooks on Wall Street”, he continued.
