Hillary Clinton brought her reminiscing tour of upstate New York to Buffalo on Friday, simultaneously touting her long-ago record as a U.S. senator and her current agenda as the Democratic presidential front-runner as reasons for voters to choose her in New York’s April 19 primary.
Sixteen years after coming to Buffalo on a “listening tour” that helped propel her to the Senate, Clinton finds herself in an unexpectedly tough battle for the Democratic nomination with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an idealistic democratic socialist whose promises of a political “revolution,” a Wall Street crackdown and free college tuition have captured the hearts of young and reform-minded voters.
In four campaign stops in Buffalo on Friday, Clinton presented herself as something different: a tested, veteran leader who got things done in Buffalo and Washington – a politician whose record proves that she’s “qualified” to be president no matter what Sanders says.
