Hillary Clinton makes more Vegas stops Sunday

One week ahead of caucus.

By: Michael Burton

Hillary Clinton held a rally Saturday morning in Henderson while on Sunday, she stopped by Lee's Sandwiches and Sun City Summerlin.

Clinton said in Henderson she's more than a single-issue candidate and argued she's the Democratic contender who can push the country forward.

"I'm the only candidate who will take on every barrier to progress," she said to the audience. "I'm the only candidate who has a record of taking on those barriers. I'm the only candidate who will stand with you in every fight. No matter how hard it is or how long it takes."

Clinton described the health care plan of her opponent, Bernie Sanders, as a theory that would lead to enormous tax hikes. She also suggested his platform of breaking up big banks will do nothing to advance other causes, including gay rights and immigrant rights.

Clinton's rallying cry centered around reviving Nevada's middle-class, promising to strengthen labor laws and create more jobs.

"It was unions who fought for good wages, safe working conditions, and benefits that built the American middle class and we're going to to do it again," she said.

She reminded the audience that the last time a Clinton was president, the average American family's income went up 17 percent.

"We're going to have new jobs in infrastructure and manufacturing and clean renewable energy," she said. "We're going to put people to work across America again and we're going to see incomes going up just like we did in the 90s."

The former First Lady could not let the crowd go without reminding them that supporting Hillary means supporting universal healthcare.

"This has been one of the causes of my life," she said. "Before we had Obamacare, it was called Hillarycare."

Nevada Democrats are set to choose between Clinton and Sanders at caucuses next Saturday. She's hoping for a win among Nevada's more diverse electorate after a narrow win in Iowa and a loss in New Hampshire.
