Bernie Sanders has Hillary Clinton on the ropes over her ties to Wall Street
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Wall Street is not only the issue that most sharply divides the two leading contenders for the Democratic nomination, it is also the issue that exposes two radically different styles in politics.
And that is why, against all expectation, the Democratic primary campaign is actually a contest.
Hillary Clinton simply had no answer when Bernie Sanders turned to her in Sunday night’s debate and reminded her that “you’ve received over $600,000 in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs in one year."
It is this evasiveness that distinguishes Clinton’s style of politics from the plain speaking that has drawn millions of voters this year to Sanders.
It was one of several remarks by Sanders about how difficult it has to be for someone who has taken money from Wall Street to be serious about regulating it. Read the transcript of the debate.
The best response Clinton could come up with was to attack Sanders for his criticism of President Barack Obama for taking donations from Wall Street, even though, she said in a brazen non sequitur, he “has led our country out of the great recession.”
