Hillary's hypocritical lies to voters and union members in Nevada:



“If we broke up the big banks tomorrow,” Mrs. Clinton asked the audience of black, white and Hispanic union members, “would that end racism? Would that end sexism? Would that end discrimination against the L.G.B.T. community?,” she said, using an abbreviation for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. “Would that make people feel more welcoming to immigrants overnight?”

At each question, the crowd called back with a resounding no.


Question: Do these voters know that Clinton has made these problems WORSE, not better?

Do they realize that Hillary has NO CONCRETE plans to improve any ordinary Americans' lives?

Bernie noted:

“The idea that I am a single-issue candidate — the American people understand that we are the only major nation on earth that doesn’t guarantee health care for all people,” Mr. Sanders said. “The American people understand that we have got to aggressively deal with climate change, in order to give our children and our grandchildren a planet that is healthy and habitable. The idea in terms of education that we must make public colleges and universities tuition free. We have got to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. It’s not one issue.”

Lynn Wright, a 63-year-old accountant controller who lives in Carson City, Nev., and is volunteering for Mr. Sanders, agreed that his vision was comprehensive.

“I’m supporting him because it is the only way that we can save our nation and take care of all of our people,” said Ms. Wright, who attended a gathering of Sanders volunteers in Reno on Saturday. “Change has to happen.”

Earlier in the day, Mrs. Clinton made a surprise visit to a casino employees’ cafeteria to visit members of Nevada’s powerful culinary workers union, one of the few in the state that has not backed her yet. In Henderson, Mrs. Clinton spoke to union members, whose organizations have already swung behind her campaign.

Most seemed enthusiastic about Mrs. Clinton and worried about — if not hostile to — Mr. Sanders.

“I hear he has a lot of ideas that may be good things, but may or may not happen,” said Ray LeVangie, 59, a plumber who said he would hear Mr. Sanders out but had decided to vote for Mrs. Clinton. “But to be able to put people in jobs — good middle-class jobs — that’s very important to me.”


Good middle class jobs were destroyed by Clinton policies. Hillary has no plans to create "good middle class jobs."
