Bernie Sanders says there is one group who won’t be feeling “the Bern” if he wins the WhiteHouse: corporate America.
“The CEOs of large multinationals may like Hillary. They ain’t going to like me,” Sanders said. “And Wall Street is going to like me even less. And the reason for that is we’ve got to deal with the elephant in the room, which is the greed, recklessness, and illegal behavior on Wall Street. “
When asked if corporate America should love Hillary Clinton, Clinton jokingly responded “everybody should.”
After Sanders’ response, however, Clinton went on to explain she was hardly a puppet of the uber rich.
“Look, I have said, I want to be the president for the struggling, the striving, and the suessful. I want to make sure the wealthy pay their fair share, which they have not been doing,” Clinton said.
She added that she wanted to ensure that millionaires have to pay 30 percent tax rates, but she also said that it was important businesses have room to be successful in an effort to create jobs.
“I want to be a partner with the private sector. I’m particularly keen on creating jobs in small business,” Clinton said. “My dad was a small businessman, a really small business. I want to do more to help incentivize and create more small businesses. So if people who are in the private sector know what I stand.”
I find it impossible to see Clinton as anything more than just another corporatist.
I’d like to disagree with you but I can’t.
I just keep thinking Supreme Court, Supreme Court, Supreme Court…
Bernie had his best debate performance yet. But the same is true of the other two candidates. I would say O’Malley actually gets “most improved,” he had some great moments, including his strong opening. But he’s still just not as comfortable on that stage as Hillary or Bernie.
When you’re starting from that low a point, it’s hard not to improve a little. But he was still awful.
He gets better after he gets warmed up. He had some really awkward, over played moments early in the debate. But as it went on, he gets more comfortable and falls into a rhythm.
I do fell sorry for the guy. He is a solid Democrat all across the board, and he deserves much better polling numbers than he has received. He actually should be holding the position between Hillary(to her left and Sanders(to his right).
But Dems seem pretty well decided from early on. Even when the non Biden campaign finally ended, O’Malley got nothing from it.
