To Hillary's policy statements and town halls. She has been addressing this issue for the past month. It is likely that she will continue to do so and expand upon it with a major policy statement in the near future. That is how she is rolling out the issues. Just because a few candidates got caught with their pants down on this issue is no reason to tar all of the Democratic contenders with not paying attention.
I don't really listen to many of Bernie's policy speeches because they always seem to address to same issues.
It's good that he has finally been forced to say something specific about it. I don't think Hillary needs Bernie and his supporters to tell her how to run her campaign. She seems to be doing just fine.

events like this one and addresses the issue without having this group bully her into it the way other candidates have been.

It much better to release an important policy statement when you decide it's the right time and the right place. It's a tetch more presidential.

Please learn about Martin O'Malley, as you have missed his important attributes and accomplishments.
