Sanders, not going away quietly, puts Clinton on defensive in Democratic debate
  • 8 years ago
Bernie Sanders made clear Sunday night that he is not about to ease up on Hillary Clinton in the interest of Democratic Party harmony in fact, the Vermont senator seemed to be spoiling for a fight more than ever.
Clinton was repeatedly put on the defensive by her insurgent rival in a debate in Flint, where Sanders challenged her more personally and relentlessly than he has in previous matchups.
If Clinton had hoped to use the nationally televised event as an opportunity to hone her attacks against Republican front-runner Donald Trump, Sanders made that impossible.
He would not be ignored.
He mocked Clinton’s record on trade and Wall Street, casting her as a late — and opportunistic — convert to progressive economics.
