How to explain this: Hillary Clinton praised a former president

[Sheepshank]

63. Nope...Sanders himself (and many DUers agreed) he was wooing the "R" vote.

so it was ok for Sanders, but not for Hillary? Better check your hatred and set it aside for one moment to clearly see the bigger picture. I'ts been talked about here on DU on numerous threads.

quote from Bernie:
[div class="excerpt""Look, many of Trump's supporters are working-class people. And they are angry.

And they're angry because they are working longer hours for lower wages. They're angry because their jobs have left this country and gone to China or other low-wage countries. They're angry because they can't afford to send their kids to college or they can't retire with dignity.

And I think what Trump has done successfully, I would say, is take that anger, take that anxiety about terrorism and say to a lot of people in this country, look, the reason for our problems is because of Mexicans. And he says, they're all criminals and rapists. We have got to hate Mexicans. Or he says about the Muslims, they are all terrorists, and we got to keep them out of this country. Those are—that's what we have to deal with to make America great.

Meanwhile, interestingly enough, John, this is a guy who does not want to raise the minimum wage. In fact, he has said that he thinks wages in America are too high. But he does want to give hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to the top three-tenths of 1 percent.

So, I think for his working-class and middle-class supporter, I think we can make the case that if we really want to address the issues that people are concerned about, why the middle class is disappearing, massive income and wealth inequality in this country, that we need policies that bring us together, that take on the greed of Wall Street, the greed of corporate America, and create a middle class that works for all of us, rather than an economy that works just for a few".
