Hillary rallies in Nashville

NASHVILLE — With no time to stop and savor her Democratic primary victory in South Carolina on Saturday, presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton plowed on with a hectic campaign schedule that includes stops in five states in two days before voters head to the polls on Super Tuesday.

Clinton addressed an overflowing crowd at the Cal Turner Center on the campus of Meharry Medical College in Nashville on Sunday afternoon — a city her democratic opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders bypassed for rallies in Colorado and Oklahoma.

The candidate reiterated her support for affordable healthcare and education while calling for an overhaul of the criminal justice system and an end to systemic racism.

“My campaign is really about breaking down barriers,” Clinton said. “America doesn’t need to be great, it needs to be whole.”

This is a historic moment in the history of the USA and we really need to seize that moment and get out in droves for Bernie

seen by her 40% approval rating. Should she get the nomination, who's going to be out canvassing for her, who's going to be out calling voters on her behalf?

And how about donations to her campaign? Will many Democrats simply exclaim, "I'm not giving you a dime, Hillary -- if you need money, you can go give another speech to Goldman-Sachs!!"
