Clinton Says Sanders Would Be Threat to Obama Legacy

“Hillary Clinton forcefully attacked Senator Bernie Sanders before a heavily black audience Friday, highlighting his criticism of President Obama, the Affordable Care Act and for what she suggested was a single-minded focus on economic fairness at the expense of racial justice,” the New York Times reports.

“One day after the two squared off at a debate that emphasized issues relating to race and gender, Mrs. Clinton made clear that she intends to run in this state’s primary by effectively seeking Mr. Obama’s third term — and claiming Mr. Sanders would be a threat to the first black president’s accomplishments.”

After Bernie's crash and burn puts Trump in the White House, a lot more than that will be threatened.

Is a landmark law, did not happen with out lots of arm twisting. Let's improve ACA not repealing and replacing ACA.

Sanders has no loyalties, nor does he consider the consequences for other, real, Democrats.
