Clinton goes after Sanders on taxes, health care

“Wait a minute. Wait a minute, he has basically used his answer to impune my integrity”.

She said what’s happening at the University of Missouri and other universities “reflects the deep sense of concern, even despair, that so many young people, particularly of color, have”.

That win came despite the fact that Obama had raked in endorsements from top-name Democrats, including former Gov. Deval Patrick, then-U.S. Sen. Clinton noted that she represented Wall Street as a senator from NY, but she said she is not beholden to it and will crack down on financial malfeasance when warranted.

“Attacking Paris, the city of light, reminds us that there is no middle ground in going after these terrorists”, she said. Kirsten Gillibrand, Clinton’s successor as NY senator, to provide 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave. “It was good for the economy, and it was a way to rebuke the terrorists who had attacked our country”.

But Saturday night, Sanders suggested Clinton is in the pocket of Wall Street and tied her vote to authorize the war in Iraq to the rise of ISIS. “I have a comprehensive, tough plan”, said Clinton. “I just don’t think it would get the job done, I’m all about making sure it actually gets results for whatever we do”.

Clinton also has the backing of state Attorney General Maura Healey, who isn’t a superdelegate, but is one of the highest-profile elected Democrats in the state. They accused Clinton of being too cozy with Wall Street and taking campaign donations that made her unwilling to stand up to corporate interests.

Clinton’s comments also became fodder for Republicans with an eye on the White House.

But Clinton, unlike Obama, has found an effective way to push right back: pointing out that none other than President George W. Bush kind of agrees with her. And already, her strategy tripped up the person who arguably has the most to gain from a recasting of who’s to blame for Middle East violence – President Bush’s brother, former Florida governor Jeb Bush.

“I voted against those big tax cuts”. “We are at war with violent extremism”.

Clinton was accompanied by her husband, former president Bill Clinton, at the event. Bernie Sanders as the debate’s victor, pointing to his voting record against the Iraq war and labeling his talking points on big banks, healthcare, education, and the inequities between rich and poor as better representing the average voter. – “Against the somber backdrop of Friday’s terror attacks in Paris, the three contenders for the Democratic nomination gathered in Iowa on Saturday night”.

“It is a stretch”.

During the debate, Sanders called out Clinton for her relationship with Wall Street bankers in the past, specifically the multiple super PACs she has, according to Mic, which can “take limitless sums of money from corporations”. The business model of Wall Street is fraud. “The most important thing that happened was that our party said we are with them and we are going to work together to solve this problem and we can only solve it by working together”.

O’Malley then pivoted to Clinton’s remarks. He argued Clinton is trying to hide her links to the financial industry. “Look she doesn’t have to mask it. It is what it is”. “That is the sort of company, that is the sort economic advice that she would follow”.

Speaking to reporters afterwards, O’Malley doubled down on the criticism.
