Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Clinton’s chief Democratic rival, has said the federal minimum wage should be raised to $15 an hour. “We were attacked in downtown Manhattan where Wall Street is”. He says it is wrong for anyone to suggest that lawmakers who pushed financial overhaul legislation in 2010 were influenced by donations from people who work on Wall Street. “In this capacity, I came to know her as a smart and driven advocate, whose thoughtfulness and deliberation helped to advance justice and the rule of law in a time when African Americans and women struggled daily to attain the freedom and equality enshrined in our constitution”. That was good for NY. “It was good for the economy and it was a way to rebuke the terrorists who had attacked out country”. The Dallas fundraiser, which cost at least $1,000 to attend, was held at the home of attorney Regina Montoya, one of 13 “Hillblazers” – or top bundlers – in Texas. “I represented NY on 9/11 when we were attacked”, she said. I like how you stand up.

The union that has spearheaded the campaign to set a $15 minimum hourly wage for all workers in the United States yesterday threw its weight behind the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton meaning that she now has the support of roughly two thirds of all unionised workers in the country.
Clinton now has the support of unions that represent 9.5 million workers and wrote to the union that she was “deeply honored” to add it to her list of supporters, according to Politico.
The DC Media can only protect Hillary for so long. He called the exchanges over Wall Street the “pivotal moments of the debate”.
He had criticized her ties to Wall Street at the debate, but said Sunday simply that they had a “real area of disagreement” over how to regulate the industry.
“She rejects simplistic solutions and slogans in favor of comprehensive and thoughtful analysis”, Cohen said, “whether in the financial arena or elsewhere”.
“She’s saying ‘don’t question me for the money I’ve taken on my campaign because they donated on 9/11.’ That’s ridiculous”, said Riches.
Patricof thinks the issue of Clinton’s money from Wall Street is as overblown as the uproar over her personal e-mail server. “Now maybe they’re dumb, but I don’t think so”. It was the Democratic candidates’ second debate of the campaign.
“Last night in the debate, Secretary Clinton, to try to mask her proximity to Wall Street, the huge amount of dollars and contributions she has received personally from the major banks of Wall Street, sadly invoked 9/11 to try to mask that”, he said.

“The point she was making, is that as a senator, she did things for Wall Street, particularly after 9/11, but she also spoke out as a senator and now when she thought they were going too far”, Palmieri told reporters.
