Dems have to take White House to keep Obamacare, Clinton warns
HANOVER,
N.H. — Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that if
Democrats don’t take the White House in 2016, Obamacare — despite being
affirmed in a Supreme Court decision last week — could still be doomed.
“I’m so thrilled we are at a point where all the calls about ‘repeal, repeal, ‘repeal’ mean nothing unless they elect a Republican president,” Clinton said at an outdoor Dartmouth College rally this afternoon. “If the country elects a Republican president, they will appeal the Affordable Care Act. That’s as certain as I can say, unless we take back the Senate and take back the House. I hope we can do both, but just to be on the safe side, let’s elect a president who’s committed to affordable health care.”
Clinton also took a subtle jab at Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders who has been drawing crowds of thousands recently and closing the gap in polls to under 10 points, claiming she’s the progressive candidate for president.
“I will fight against inequality,” said Clinton. “I have a long history of doing that. I will fight hard against what I see as the injustice and unfairness in our society. I take a backseat to no one when you look at my record of standing up and fighting for progressive values.”
Clinton repeated a familiar piece of her stump speech where she reminds Democrats of the economic failures left behind by both President George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.
“There’s just a pattern where the other side keeps using the same old tired failed policies, they don’t work, and Democratic presidents have to come in and fix what was broken,” Clinton said.
She will also hold a rally in Glen, then march in a parade in Gorham tomorrow as her two-day New Hampshire trip continues.
