Who can get more done in a divided Congress – Clinton or Sanders?
Hillary has been part of Bill Cinton’s White House, and Obama’s Cabinet, and a four-year senator from New York. Half of Congress is already threatening to impeach her, on Day 1, for as of yet, undetermined crimes.
Sanders, as an independent, has had to reach out for more than 20 years to both the conservative and progressive members of Congress to get stuff done. He’s known as The Amendment King because he can work as effectively with McCain and Inhofe as he can with Elizabeth Warren. His own conservative state re-elects him repeatedly, most recently with 71 percent of the vote. Who else in Congress has that kind of support from people like you and me?
Sanders has lofty goals, it’s true, and he realizes clearly that he won’t win all his legislative battles. But he will begin the conversation, and continue the hard work, of re-establishing America’s middle class.
Democrats, please caucus for Sanders on Super Tuesday, March 1, right here in La Plata County.
