RIVIERA BEACH —

Pinch-hitting on the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton didn’t mention her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders by name on Monday but warned against “a single-issue campaign” and “rewarding people who tell us things they know they can’t do.”

“Hillary’s running to restore the American dream to all Americans,” Bill Clinton told the crowd of 600 to 800 people.

Sanders, a self-described Democratic socialist, has presented a tougher-than-expected challenge to Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination. With Donald Trump’s outsider campaign leading Republican polls, Bill Clinton said that “both primaries have been dominated by very emotional campaigns that I think are the product of people’s doubt about whether they can claim that future.”

He suggested the Democratic Party is experiencing a pull to the left similar to the rightward pull exerted on the Republican Party by the tea party movement.

“It’s not altogether mysterious that there are a lot of people that say, well, the Republican Party rewarded the tea party. They just tell people what they want to hear, move them to the right and we’ll be rewarded – except they didn’t get anything done. Then, that’s going on now in our party,” Clinton said.

Later, the former president said: “We are too politically polarized and we keep rewarding people who tell us things they know they can’t do because it pushes our hot button.”.......................

is a corporate pawn. If Tad Lavine is whining, it means that Bill's speech hits exactly the right notes.
