Hillary Clinton's Domestic History Draws Endorsements; Experience Wins Her Foreign Policy Laurels

As unions and organizations endorse Hillary Clinton with increasing momentum, so Bernie Sanders has been relegating them to the "establishment" pigeonhole.  The truth is that Hillary has a long history of fighting for progressive change on the home front as one after another organization continue to point out. Those she has fought beside know that there is nothing "establishment" about what she has done or how she has done it.

Sanders Campaign Continues Criticism of Key Progressive Organizations

Tuesday night on MSNBC, Senator Sanders talked about “taking on the political establishment,” which he said included progressive organizations like Planned Parenthood and the Human Rights Campaign – and Wednesday his campaign defended the widely panned remarks.

While Sanders has mileage and creds on the domestic side (as does Hillary), his foreign policy rests on a far from practical foundation (unlike Hillary's).  Questions on his plans for combating ISIS tend to be ignored.  If they are answered, the responses rest on theory at best.  Hillary does have a plan to defeat ISIS.  Her plan has a foundation in her extensive foreign policy experience and history of building coalitions.

Republicans Are Aiding Senator Sanders’ Candidacy

Hillary for America Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri released the following statement on Republicans – including the RNC and GOP super PACs – aiding Senator Sanders’ campaign:
“While Senator Sanders tries to make a case on electability based on meaningless polls, Republicans and their super PACs have made clear the candidate they’re actually afraid to face. The Sanders argument falls apart when the GOP spokesman is trying to help him and the Republicans run ads trying to stop Hillary Clinton in the primary. Now he’s taking his cues from them, using a Karl Rove attack to go after her.
