Sanders and Clinton doing different types of events in WA on Tuesday.


Bernie is speaking at an arena that holds more than 17,000 people, free of charge.

Hillary Clinton is going with a more expensive event, one that costs as much as $50,000 in bundled fundraising to meet her at a private reception.

Sanders supported the resolution that gave support to George W. Bush in both Iraq and in the larger war against terrorism. Sanders has supported Israel’s aggressive Middle East policies against Palestinian statehood. Sanders supported HR 282, the Iran Freedom Support Act, which was similar to the resolutions leading to the Iraq War. And Sanders has stated that he too would use drones.

So, get on with the hypocrisy to offend others.

All this equals deaths. Sanders participates, like all in that position dealing with foreign issues.

Party, while Sanders only thinks of himself, as he demands revolution, without the need of getting a progressive congress.

I would hardly jab at Clinton when she give money to other Democrats and Sanders hordes.

rallies, one at a union hall in Everett, WA and the other in Seattle, that same day. Being completely truthful apparently isn't as effective when it comes to shaking down the true believers on-line.

Event Details

On Tuesday, March 22, Hillary Clinton will travel to Washington State to campaign ahead of the caucus on Saturday, March 26. In Everett, she will discuss her plans to support Washington manufacturing and the tens of thousands of workers who depend on the Export-Import Bank. She will outline her plans to create a “new bargain” to generate more, good-paying jobs in America by strengthening manufacturing and confronting abusive trade practices by foreign countries, including China.

Look at the way Sanders supporters are starting to tweak facts to make unfounded implications. Why quote the arena size, when you used to quote crowd counts? Oh, right, because crowd counts are dropping. Now I get it.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is planning to visit Seattle and Everett this Tuesday ahead of Washington state's Democratic caucuses on the 26th.

Campaign officials say in Everett, she will discuss her plans to support Washington manufacturing and the tens of thousands of workers who depend on the Export-Import Bank. She will outline her plans to create a “new bargain” to generate more, good-paying jobs in America by strengthening manufacturing and confronting abusive trade practices by foreign countries, including China.

In Seattle, Clinton will attend an organizing event with volunteers, supporters, and caucus captains.

The campaign said Clinton will also meet with Tribal leaders from across Washington State to discuss how to "build ladders of opportunity for all Native American people."
