Hillary Clinton serves notice to Bernie Sanders: No more truce

Hillary Clinton serves notice to Bernie Sanders: No more truce, Bernie Sanders is about 20 credibility abaft Hillary Rodham Clinton in the civic acclamation appropriate now, but if the aboriginal few account of Tuesday's Democratic primary agitation are any indication, Clinton feels like he's breath down her neck.

Her a lot of memorable curve in the Democratic agitation so far accept been agilely buried jabs -- or even absolute attacks -- adjoin the 74-year-old absolute left-wing agent from Vermont.

It's a abandonment from the two candidates' bond accord treaty; up until this point in the campaign, they accept abhorred anon arduous anniversary other, preferring to allocution about their differences instead. But Clinton on Tuesday served apprehension that she's accommodating to use adored time on date slamming a dark-horse amateur who's giving her a run for her money.

Here's a active account of Hillary Clinton's jabs at Sanders so far:

"I'm a progressive"

One of the debate's aperture questions had host Anderson Cooper allurement Clinton to accompaniment whether she is a accelerating or a moderate.

"I'm a progressive," she replied. "But I'm a accelerating who brand to get things done."

The well-executed band was meant to be a allegory amid her added abstinent behavior for issues like Wall Street ameliorate and debt-free academy and Sanders's abundant added abnormal access -- he about would yield government ascendancy of abounding industries like accessible colleges and bloom care.

"We are not in Denmark"

One of Sanders's goals Tuesday night is to explain to Americans what, exactly, a left-wing is and what a left-wing wants to do for America.

He launched into that angle appropriate away, adage a left-wing is anyone who wants to advance the abundance from a allotment of the top 1 percent to the blow of the 99 percent to actualize a added according society. He resisted calling himself a "capitalist" for the additional time this week.

Sanders aswell drew a allegory to the Nordic country of Denmark, which in barter for college taxes provides a abundance of amusing casework for its residents.

Clinton had a cogent response: "We are not in Denmark."

Again, it was an attack to acquaint voters she thinks her prescriptions for America are abundant added astute than Sanders's. She aswell accepted the ideal of commercialism with regulations to accumulate it from accepting out of hand. It was an aboriginal band in the sand.

"It wasn't that complicated to me"

Sanders differs from the larboard on one above issue: He doesn't accept a able accelerating gun-control clue record. That's in allotment because he's represented a rural, gun-owning accompaniment in Congress for added than two decades.

Cooper set this back-and-forth up anon if he asked Clinton if she anticipation Sanders was boxy abundant on guns.

"No, not at all," she replied, traveling on to get her better acclaim band of the night out of it: "I anticipate we accept to attending at the actuality that we lose 90 humans a day from gun violence. This has gone on too long, and it's time the absolute country stood up adjoin the [National Rifle Association]."

She wasn't done with Sanders, though. Clinton had advised his almanac and was accessible with the actuality that Sanders voted 5 times adjoin the Brady Bill, a 1993 law her husband, Admiral Bill Clinton, active r equiring federal accomplishments checks for purchases from federally accountant gun dealers.

She still wasn't done. Sanders voted for a 2005 law giving gun manufacturers and dealers amnesty from getting sued in the deathwatch of gun accidents. Clinton anon affiliated Sanders's vote for that amnesty bill to absolution the hated NRA off the hook:

"I voted adjoin it. It wasn't that complicated to me," she said. "It was appealing aboveboard to me that he was traveling to accord amnesty to the alone industry in America. Everyone abroad has to be accountable, but not the gun industry."

"My plan is added comprehensive"

During a altercation about Wall Street reform, Cooper acicular out that Sanders has alleged for breaking up big banks. Clinton, by contrast, says that's not the answer: We should allegation banks added and accumulate the Dodd-Frank adjustment arrangement in place, she's argued.

Clinton has appear beneath analysis from her time as a agent in New York for getting too comfortable to Wall Street, so she had a lot to prove in her acknowledgment to Cooper. Which is one acumen why she said:

"Well, my plan is added absolute [than Sanders's] . And frankly, it's tougher."

Sanders actually scoffed at the belvedere next to her. But Clinton went on: "There's this accomplished breadth alleged 'shadow banking.' That's area the experts acquaint me the next abeyant botheration could appear from."

When it was Sanders's about-face to speak, he said, "[The] better banks in America -- are abundant bigger than they were if we bailed them out for getting too big to fail, we accept got to breach them up."

Clinton responded that she admired his "passion and intensity," but went on to detail why she's the one to yield on the big banks as president.
