Hillary Clinton congratulated Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on his win in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary but vowed to fight for every vote in the rest of the country in order to win the Democratic presidential nomination and the 2016 election.
Clinton took the stage after calling Sanders to concede and tweeting her congratulations.
She said that she was “very grateful” to the thousands of volunteers in New Hampshire who vouched for her and to those who donated to her campaign. Clinton said the “vast majority” of those donors gave less than $100.
“I know that doesn’t fit with the narrative,” she said. “I know there are those who want to deny the passion and the purpose you all show every day for this campaign, but you are the reason we are here and you are the reason we are going to win the nomination and then win this election together.”
Clinton emphasized that she would be an advocate for young people, who she said she knows “I have some work to do” to win over.
“Now we take this campaign to the entire country,” Clinton said. “We’re going to fight for every vote in every state. We’re going to fight for real solutions that make a real difference in people’s lives.”
Hillary Clinton should be thankful for Bernie Sanders. Yes, she’ll likely win this race in the long run—I’d put the odds at that to be at least 10:1 for Clinton. But Sanders has kept this race from being a coronation so far, and is forcing Clinton to hone her message. If she thinks Sanders is tough, wait until she faces that Koch and Adelson money in November.
Hillary Clinton is still too much the old way of doing business in Washington. If she plans on winning the nomination she needs to be more progressive and state what she is going to do, people don’t want to hear the same old stump speeches of yesterday, but hear more things like Bernie is saying. Bill Clinton was a Conservative Democrat when he was in office and I’m afraid that Hillary will be just another right wing Democrat who wouldn’t get anything done. We need to shake things up in Washington by being much more Progressive in see that change is taking place and taking on and beating back Wall Street and the Billionaires. But nothing will change unless we also change Congress, and that starts by voting out every single Republican and Blue Dog Democrat in Congress.
Does Hillary really believe in the rule of law? Not just lip service like Obama , I still want to see bankers in handcuffs for the pain family went thru I do not want to hear it’s time to move on as Obama stated re war crimes or even a truth and reconciliation commission.
