So, President Obama and Bernie Sanders are meeting now. I'd like to be a fly on the wall.
These are the points that Bernie hopes to get incorporated into the Democratic platform in order to officially get behind Clinton and rally for her.
- A $15 federal minimum wage,
- Stricter financial regulations on Wall Street banks,
- Bolstered paid family and medical leave policies,
- Greater college accessibility for all who get good grades in high school and are willing to work 10 hours a week, plus a public education benefit,
- Greater federal restrictions on carbon and fracking.
The issue of trade, in particular, is likely to be a contentious point as Sanders makes the rounds in Washington since many party leaders, and Clinton, do not share his more left-of-center views. But Sanders believes his campaign has pushed the debate leftward on that front.
