Clinton may agree with Sanders on 95% of the issues, but it is the 5% of the time that she is on the side of the financial industry and not the people that voters still want to talk about.
Sanders is a one issue candidate, and it has always been within Clinton’s power to eliminate Sanders from the race by co-opting his message on the rigged economy. That she hasn’t done it suggests to me that she can’t bring herself to do it.
And if you don’t think she is vulnerable on that issue, here is Trump from last night:
She doesn’t understand trade. Her husband signed, perhaps in the history of the world, teh single worst trade deal ever done. It’s called NAFTA and I was witness to the carnage over the last six weeks or so especially. Now I’ve known Syracuse, and I’ve known Poughkeepsie and Ive known all of the different places that I’ve visited. In New York and Pennsylvania and then Maryland which treated me so great and the people are incredible. And all of the different states.. Connecticut…and Ive witnessed what its done Really first hand. and it has been indeed carnage, and we are going to change it around.
We’re not going to let Carrier and all of these companies just think that they can move, go to another country, make their product sell it back to us, and we get only one thing. We get Unemployment. Not gonna happen anymore folks. Not gonna happen. We are going to bring back our jobs and we are going to keep our job. We are not going to let companies leave. Now if they want to go to a different state? Good luck. Compete. But when they start going to different countries, and in many cases countries that devalue their currency and make it impossible for our companies to compete… that’s not gonna happen. Not gonna happen. And if they want to do it anyway, there will be consequences. And they will be very very serious consequences.
When Trump wins the votes of American works, he will not have stolen them. He will have been given them by 30 years of Democratic stupidity and callousness.
