Clinton during the debate likened Sanders’ 2009 vote opposing releasing $350 billion of Wall Street bailout funds, which financed the auto bailout, as a vote against Detroit’s auto makers.

The effort to block the funds was led by Louisiana Sen. Sanders and Clinton’s Republican counterparts, who all oppose abortion to varying degrees, have been asked about abortion and Planned Parenthood in multiple debates.
Asked more specifically if he would support restrictions on abortions for pregnancies farther along than five months, Sanders simply responded, “I am very strongly pro-choice”.
Mr Sanders said he would “love” to run against Mr Trump and noted many polls showed him faring better against him than Ms Clinton.
Clinton said that while she and Sanders have their differences on policy, “compare the substance of this debate with what you saw on the Republican stage last week”.
Rubio, 44 – the favorite of a Republican establishment alarmed by Trump’s controversial proposals and anxious about Cruz’s uncompromising conservatism – lagged in MI polls and needs a win in his home state next week to keep his campaign alive. The Texas senator is sticking close to Trump in the delegate count and with six states in his win column, he’s arguing he’s the only candidate standing between the brash billionaire and the GOP nomination. “With all that is happening in the city of Flint right now people want to be heard”.
Moore took to Twitter to rip Hillary Clinton during the CNN Democratic debate and express his preference for Sanders for the party’s nomination. Clinton said she was focused on the MI primary, not who her running mate might be.
Clinton countered that her opposition to PLCAA is about making guns safer, not eliminating them. “That’s kind of the fundamental problem between some blacks and white progressives”, she told NPR, “this notion that white progressives think about class so much, that they forget there there’s class diversity within African-American communities”.
That’s according to U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who made the comments during the Democratic debate on Sunday night in response to a question about his “racial blind spot” , The Huffington Post reported.
Mr Sanders countered that he did not vote for what became auto bailout because it was part of a larger bail-out for the banks on Wall Street which he was unable to countenance. “(Sanders) voted against the money that ended up saving the auto industry. Bernie Sanders said Monday, March 7, 2016, that Hillary Cl. I nominated him at the convention. “If everybody had voted the way he did, I believe the auto industry would have collapsed, taking four million jobs with it”.

“I would hope to be able to enlist Bernie in helping me reach out to his supporters if I am so fortunate to be the nominee”, Clinton said, during a campaign stop in Grand Rapids, Michigan, campaigning on the eve of the state’s crucial primary contest.
