Hillary Clinton Pledges Not To Cut Social Security Benefits

Hillary Clinton Pledges Not To Cut Social Security Benefits

Progressive groups applauded the move, but Sanders isn't as impressed.

Hillary Clinton vowed that she would not cut Social Security benefits on Friday, assuaging progressive groups that had demanded a definitive pledge.

Hillary Clinton promised on Friday that she would not cut Social Security benefits, winning praise from progressive groups that had pressured her to take such a stance -- but drawing questions from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who challenged her commitment to the issue.


The post was a response to something Sanders had tweeted earlier in the day, when he urged Clinton to "join me in saying loudly and clearly that we will never cut Social Security."............
"I won't cut Social Security," Clinton wrote in an initialed tweet that included a link to her campaign website’s Social Security page. "As always, I'll defend it, & I'll expand it. Enough false innuendos."..................

Sanders is playing stupid games and scaring people who depend on Soc Security. Shame on the Sanders camp.

Golly gee.

Sanders has not stepped on this advocacy group like he has PP and Human Rights Campaign!!

Hillary Clinton to tour the devastated city of Flint, Michigan

Source: msnbc.com

By Tony Dokoupil

.....................

The Democratic presidential candidate is scheduled to visit the faded American factory town with the undrinkable taps. Her plan is to tour the city with Mayor Karen Weaver, learning about the state of the crisis and the efforts to fix it.
........


Ever since the state declared a man-made emergency in early January, Clinton has hammered the problem and the Republican administration that caused it. Her rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, has also fired shots at Michigan, calling for the resignation of Gov. Rick Snyder.

But Clinton’s attention has been deeper and more consistent, according to those close to Mayor Weaver.

“She’s the only one actually trying to help Flint,” said Shayne Hodges, a Flint father of three and friend of Mayor Weaver.

“Secretary Clinton has been in touch with the mayor personally and the two staffs have been in consistent contact,” Kristin Moore, the mayor’s communication director told MSNBC. “As far as I know,” she added, “Clinton is the only presidential candidate—Republican or Democrat—who has reached out.

Bernie Sanders Encourages the Rudeness of His Supporters


It was rude and unprofessional of Sanders fan to do this. Not surprised given their behavior on social media sites--it was bound to flow out into public events.

sanders angy mob

Last night supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders repeatedly interruputed Sen. Jeanne Shaheen while she was speaking at the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s annual McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner. In my more than 30 years of attending Democratic events in New Hampshire, I’ve never witnessed rudeness and disrespect like this.

Jeanne Shaheen was the first woman elected governor of New Hampshire. She was the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate from New Hampshire. She is the only woman in United States history to be elected both a governor and a U.S. senator. Much to the dismay of her campaign strategists during her 2014 reelection campaign, Jeanne Shaheen ranks pretty high on all the various scorecards measuring how liberal senators’ voting records are

Why in the world would Bernie Sanders’ supporters treat this woman who made the Democratic Party a winning party in New Hampshire so disrespectfully?

Because she supports Hillary Clinton for president? That’s too simple. I don’t think people are motivated to heckle a sitting U.S. Senator speaking at a Democratic Party event named in her honor simply because she’s supporting a different candidate.

Every four years in New Hampshire we have NHDP events where all the competing candidates for the Democratic nomination and New Hampshire’s current Democratic officeholders speak. I’ve been attending these tpes of gathering since 1987. They can be rowdy. Each candidate’s supporters tries to outdo the other with cheers and applause for their candidate. Grown men and women jump up and down cheering. It’s silly and it’s fun. But never before last night have I witnessed one candidate’s supporters heckle another candidate or that candidate’s backer dring a speech................

The Clintons' Arkansas Network Comes To New Hampshire

The Clintons have a tight network of Arkansas supporters who have been helping them win elections.

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- They've been coming here to help Bill Clinton win since 1992. And this week, they're back to help Hillary.

The Arkansas Travelers, as they're known, are some of the Clintons' most loyal supporters. The informal group formed in 1992 for Bill's first run for the White House, and they have paid their way around the country ever since to be where the Clintons need them to be to win elections.

This week, there are 86 Arkansas Travelers in New Hampshire to help Hillary try to defeat Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in Tuesday's Democratic presidential primary. Some have been with the group since the beginning, and some are relatively new additions.

"We'll go anywhere. We'll do rope lines, welcome people. Whatever it takes to get 30 seconds of their time to tell them about our Hillary," said Cathy Koehler, 55, from Little Rock.

She and her fellow Traveler, Jana Teeter, were at the McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Celebration Friday night, where thousands of Democrats turned out to hear Sanders and Clinton speak. Teeter and Koehler are both teachers, and they said they got to know Clinton through her work on education.

"The part that people need to understand is that the Arkansas Travelers -- we did this out of our pockets. We paid every bit of this ourselves. We're not financed by the campaign," Koehler added. "They coordinate with the campaign, but we do this because we believe so much in her leadership ability that it is worth sacrificing time and talent and our treasure to be the advocates on the ground that get to tell people, 'This is the Hillary Clinton I know.'"


Cathy Koehler, 55, of Little Rock and Jana Teeter, 57, of Tillar, are part of the Arkansas Travelers helping Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire.

The group includes mayors, county judges and even former U.S. senators -- David Pryor and his son Mark.

On Friday, the Travelers were out canvassing for Clinton -- despite the heavy snow -- and then spent the afternoon phone-banking. They've been tweeting their adventures as well:

About 100 Travelers came to New Hampshire in 1992 to help Bill Clinton, and now there are about 300 people in the group, according to The Washington Post.
