Clinton slams unrealistic Sanders 'promises' in debate
- 8 years ago
Two days after her humiliating New Hampshire defeat, White House hopeful Hillary Clinton sought to regain the upper hand against her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders in Thursday's debate, denouncing the senator's proposals as unrealistic and costly.
With Clinton nursing her wounds, the former secretary of state is keen to put the recent contests behind her and strike a new path as the campaign moves to Nevada and South Carolina, where Hispanics and African-Americans play key roles in the nomination battle.
On the debate stage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the rivals were largely in agreement about efforts to end institutional racism and improve the lives of minorities.
They instead clashed heatedly on health care and Sanders's assertion that his plan for a single-payer system would save American taxpayers money.
