WaPo:"‘Single-issue’ candidate Bernie Sanders touches on 20 issues during a Michigan campaign stop."

That’s the headline in a Washington Post article today.

Hillary has been calling Bernie a “single issue candidate,” deriding the need to address the Great Inequality and lack of hope in our nation for working people. No doubt, Bernie says a lot of about economic inequality and the role corrupt campaign donations play in rigging the economy for the one hundredth of one percent. But as the Washington Post reports, he is not a “single issue candidate.” I will just list the issues they counted in one speech yesterday. For fair use reasons, I skipped what the article says about each issue. Go to the link for more details.

Here’s a look at the issues Sanders covered:

1. Universal health care.

2. Federal intervention in Flint, Mich.

3. Minimum wage.

4. Wealth inequality.

5. Jail population.

6. Planned Parenthood funding.

7. Same-sex marriage.

8. Paid family and medical leave.

9. Federal jobs program.

10. Child care.

11. Trade policy.

12. Prosecute Wall Street offenders.

13. Marijuana policy.

14. Voting rights.

15. Supreme Court appointment.

16. Campaign finance reform.

17. Free college tuition.

18. Tax on Wall Street speculation.

19. Climate change.

20. Iraq war.

1. This "single-issue" attack is one of Hillary's WORST ones yet, patently false on it's face.

Hillary's just proving she's a LIAR, with each one of these absurd claims that
anyone with an IQ over 60 can see through, if they care to that is.
