Sanders supporters – some of whom continued to be disruptive in the arena – were offered higher taxes on “Wall Street, corporations and the super rich” and a throwaway line about “unfair trade deals”. Instead, we will build an economy where everyone who wants a good job can get one.
“I certainly know that with her as our commander-in-chief, our foreign relations will not be reduced to a business transaction, I also know that our armed forces will not become an instrument of torture”, said Allen.
