WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – Sanders is challenging Democratic frontrunner and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who lost the 2008 Democratic primary in South Carolina against future-President Barack Obama.
“If a bank is too big to fail it is too big to exist,” Sanders told the crowd of 2,800 at the TD Convention Center, according to the release issued on Friday.
Sanders is campaigning on what he calls a “family values” agenda of paid sick leave, paid vacations and guaranteed time off for new parents to bond with their children.
Sanders’ campaign said he had amassed a campaign fund of more than $12 million entirely from 400,000 small contributions. The average person donated $31.
“We do not want the money of corporate America,” he told his audience in Greenville. “This is a people’s campaign,” he said.
Sanders also won cheers with his pledge to kill the 12-nation Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement, the release stated.
