In Pa., Sanders offers mixed signals on approach to Clinton
(AP) — Bernie Sanders is sending mixed signals on whether he will persist in his pointed critique of Hillary Clinton's record as some Democrats urge the party to coalesce around the former secretary of state.
Sanders largely gave her a pass Friday, except by implication, as he denounced the thinking behind the Iraq war, which she supported, and warned of the risks of pushing regime change, as he addressed and took questions from a crowd of some 2,000 in a gym, with hundreds more in an overflow room.
"The hard part is to think about what happens in the future, and it turns out that regime change more often than not ends up causing instability and unintended consequences that people have not thought through," he said.
Clinton's event in the Philadelphia suburbs was focused on ensuring equal pay for women and she was joined by Lily Ledbetter, who inspired the namesake fair pay law signed by President Barack Obama that aimed to make it easier for women to sue over wage discrimination.
The Jenkintown event offered a glimpse of how Clinton may seek to appeal to suburban women whose votes could be up for grabs in a general election against Republicans Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.
[...] he resumed his demand that Clinton release the transcripts of her high-priced speeches after her tenure in the State Department to investment banks such as Goldman Sachs.
