Bill Clinton spoke at Dartmouth yesterday
And Bernie Sanders will be speaking at 7pm in Spaulding auditorium
Yesterday, Bill Clinton came to Dartmouth to campaign for Hillary, just as the New Hampshire poll tightens between her and Bernie Sanders.
He spoke about the state of the American economy, telling the audience: “84 percent of the American people, adjusted for inflation, are still making the same or less than they were on the day of the financial crash.
“Half of the American people, adjusted for inflation, are making less money than they were the last day I was president 15 years ago.
“That leaves all the money pooling at the top.”
Clinton added: “When all of the money pools at the top and nobody wants to invest, they speculate, and that’s what happened.
“The mortgage drag, the debt drag, and the speculation caused the economy to implode.”
He then argued one of the key questions in this election is: “What economic plan is most likely to return us to broad-based prosperity?”
He went onto criticize Republicans in the house and senate: “How can we stop the Republicans from repealing everything president Obama has done?
“Just last week the Republicans voted to repeal Obama’s health care law [for the] 55th time. They want to repeal his climate change orders [as well].”
Switching gears, Clinton began to campaign for his wife. He told the audience: “I want you [all] to do what’s best for you.
“Most of the people in this room have more tomorrows than yesterdays. And those of us that have more yesterdays than tomorrows spend most of our time thinking about the future.
“I believe that [voting for Hillary] would be a gift that keeps on giving because she made everything she ever touched better.”
Dartmouth students will play a key role in the New Hampshire primary and secondary elections: our school is filled with 4000 eager students.
This will be our first election where we are of age to vote.
Bernie is set to visit Dartmouth this evening at 7pm. He now leads ahead of Hillary Clinton by 14 points in a New Hampshire poll conducted by Monmouth University.
