Hillary copies Bernie and offers $125 billion for needy communities.

Is this unrealistic pandering?

Will the critics show any consistency?

Hillary Clinton returned to South Carolina on Friday for a town hall in one of the state’s poorest counties where nearly one-third of the residents live in poverty.

More than 400 supporters enthusiastically welcomed the Democratic presidential candidate to Denmark-Olar Elementary School where she told them her policies would help create a level playing field.

She also targeted nomination rival Bernie Sanders, telling the largely black crowd she is better equipped to continue the policies of President Barack Obama than Sanders.


“He has called the president weak, a disappointment, he tried to attract a candidate to actually run against the president when he was running for re-election,” Clinton said.

She added, “He does not support — as I do — building on the progress that the president has made.”

While at the school Clinton unveiled a $125 billion economic revitalization plan she said would target “America’s under-served communities.”

if new information comes in, like her sponsors don't want the community to have that money?

Because she is consistent in her amazing ability to evolve when new information comes in.

I thought this was making false promises. Heard that all day yesterday about Bernie's plans. Multiple OPs.

Glad she is following Bernie's lead on issues that matter.
