Big banks won’t have the same safety net in the next crisis, Hillary Clinton promised late Tuesday on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”.

After agreeing with Scarborough that Clinton’s accusation was “pathetic”, Brzezinski said it was more like the HBO show Veep, which stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the vice-president-and now president of the United States-but worse.
Though he has since voiced support for banning assault weapons and expanding background checks, among other measures, Clinton said during the first Democratic debate in Las Vegas that his record on gun control was not tough enough. “If anything … both fiscal and monetary policy actions seem to be a bit more stabilizing when a Republican is president”.
Marco Rubio said Clinton had been exposed as “a liar” during last week’s hearing on the Benghazi attack. “I think that is missing in the Republican debate thus far”.
“We need to get back to putting the middle class at the center of our politics”, Clinton told Colbert. “But I’m going to do what works, and we have an understanding of what works”.
Clinton has long backed the death penalty – saying in her 2000 run for Senate that it had her “unenthusiastic support” and maintaining that position in her 2008 run for president.
“I’m well aware this is a political mountain to climb, but you don’t get anywhere without calling it out, but we have had too many murders, too many people who should’ve never gotten guns in the first place”, Clinton said. “And we have to defend the progress we’ve made in women’s rights and gay rights, and we have to protect voting rights and immigrant rights and everything else”.
“If she’s going to sit there and say, ‘I went to Wall Street and told them to cut it out, ‘ I mean, come on!”
From there, Stephen wanted to know how her views differed from fellow presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders, a self-professed socialist.
The third Republican debate comes at a time when outsiders candidates with no elected experience, Dr. Ben Carson and Donald Trump, lead the polls in the early nominating states and nationally.
