Sanders steps up feud with ?establishment?
‘Hillary Clinton will talk to Sanders about his policy demands and take them into account’
WASHINGTON: Democrat Bernie Sanders cranked up his fight with his party’s leaders on Sunday, backing a challenger to the Democratic National Committee’s chairwoman and accusing the party establishment of trying to a**int Hillary Clinton as the presidential **minee. In a ****** of television interviews, Sanders remained defiant despite what he ack**wledged was an uphill fight to overtake front-runner Clinton. He told ABC’s "This Week" programme that Americans should **t have to choose between "the lesser of two evils" in the **v. 8 election against presumptive Republican **minee Donald Trump. Sanders said that if he wins the White House, he would **t reappoint US Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz as DNC chairwoman. He also endorsed law professor Tim Ca**va, who is challenging the Florida congresswoman in the August Democratic primary. "Do I think she is the kind of chair that the Democratic Party needs? **, I don’t," Sanders told CBS’s "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "Frankly, what the Democratic Party is about is running around to rich peoples’ homes and raising obscene sums of money from wealthy people. What we need to do is to say to working class people - we are on your side," he said. The defiant tone by Sanders, a US senator from Vermont, has worried some Democrats anxious to see Clinton begin to unify the party and turn her attention to a fall election showdown with Trump. Trump has gained ground in opinion polls as Republicans begin to rally around his likely candidacy. A Washington Post-ABC News poll released on Sunday showed Trump with a 2-point lead over Clinton, within the margin of error. In early March, Clinton led Trump by 9 percentage points in the same poll. But Sanders has ig**red growing Democratic calls to step aside and repeated his vow to stay in the race until the party’s **minating convention in Philadelphia on July 25-28, despite Clinton’s nearly insurmountable lead in pledged convention delegates who will choose the **minees. He said he wanted to do away with superdelegates - party leaders who are free to support any candidate. Their rush to back Clinton even before votes had been cast amounted to "an a**intment process," Sanders said. He promised to influence the party platform and party rules even if he was **t the **minee, but said if Clinton does **t move toward his views on reining in Wall Street, reducing income equality and other issues, "she’s going to have her problems." "I don’t want to see the American people voting for the lesser of two evils. I want the American people to be voting for a vision of eco**mic justice, of social justice, of environmental justice, of racial justice," he said on ABC’s "This Week". Sanders has feuded with the party over a debate schedule he says favoured Clinton and warned the party against stacking convention committees with Clinton supporters. After his endorsement of her opponent, Wasserman Schultz said in a statement that she would remain neutral in the presidential Democratic primary. Democratic worries about party unity were exacerbated by last weekend’s state party convention in Nevada, where unhappy Sanders supporters disrupted the proceedings in a dispute over rules. That raised fears about possible chaos at the national convention in Philadelphia in July. But Sanders disputed media reports describing the Nevada incident as violent. "What happened is people were rude, that’s **t good, they were booing, that’s **t good, they behaved in some ways that were a little bit boorish, **t good, but let’s **t talk about that as violence," he said on ABC. Sanders said he was **t encouraging protests at the Philadelphia convention, "but of course people have the right to peacefully assemble and make their views heard." Clinton, in an interview with NBC’s "Meet the Press", said she will talk to Sanders about his policy demands and take them into account "when he’s ready to talk". أكثر... ??????? ??????: Sanders steps up feud with ?establishment? || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
