Can Hillary Clinton Win The General Election?
This question is being asked again here because a rather long article in Current Affairs lays out an argument that says she cannot. Here's the link:
Dollars from a Hedge Fund that invests in. . . .
"Just days before the Iowa caucus, Hillary Clinton left the campaign trail for a high-dollar fundraiser at a hedge fund. That same hedge fund is a major investor in fracking, an incredibly destructive practice of extracting natural gas by pumping hundreds of secret chemicals into the ground. Hillary Clinton supports fracking. I do not." (www.berniesanders.com)
Sanders Sets Another Fundraising Record
Campaign Manager Jeff Weaver reported on Tuesday that contributions, during the month of February, averaging $30 each, had totaled more than $42 million.
Three Important Endorsements
Tulsi Gabbard, Congresswoman from Hawaii, resigned her position as one of five vice chairs of the DNC in order to endorse Bernie. Gabbard clashed with DWS over the limited number of Democratic debates and against DWS's partiality for Clinton. An Iraq War vet and member of Hawaii Army National Guard, she stated in her video announcing her resignation, "We need a commander in chief who has foresight, who exercises good judgment, and who understands the need for a robust foreign policy which defends the safety and security of the American people, and who will not waste precious lives and money on interventionist wars of regime change."
On February 26 th , Robert Reich announced that he was supporting Bernie. A Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration and a longtime friend of both Bill and Hillary, he said that Sanders would bring about the long time need for change by taking on the huge concentration of wealth. "It is the fundamental prerequisite: We have little hope of achieving positive change on any front unless the American people are once again in control."
And in an unusual online poll conducted on his campaign web site that asked whether he should support Clinton or Sanders, Congressman Alan Grayson of Florida, a SuperDelegate and Senate candidate, reported that 86 percent of the 400,000 Democrats who responded voted in favor of Sanders.
