MILWAUKEE — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took part in a “Community Forum on Gun Violence Prevention” in Milwaukee on Tuesday morning, March 29th. The forum was held at Tabernacle Baptist Church on Milwaukee’s north side — in a Zip code that sees its fair share of gun violence.

Hillary continues to address important issues. Yesterday she was in Madison WI speaking about how the GOP is obstructing Obama's SC nominee---(she hit on Trump--not Sanders). Today she speaks out about gun violence. Keep up the good work and focus on issues important to us.

Just opportunism. Doesn't harmonize at all with her lack of empathy on everything else. Just an attempt to set herself apart.

thank goodness she is!

And if taking on the gun lobby is "set(ting) herself apart", then that says a lot about everybody else running for POTUS, wouldn't you say?

Hillary cares about Hillary. It's painfully obvious to so many of us and it blows my mind you don't see it.

If she didn't, she would not be running for President but would be enjoying a comfortable retirement playing with her grandchildren. Instead, she is putting up with lies and abuse from the far right and far left, as she has her whole adult life, to pursue progressive change.

How can you label a centrist who votes for war and Wall St and the drug war and mass incarceration a progressive. This crap is getting Orwellian. You can say whatever you want. People tried calling Bush a compassionate conservative but that was just marketing. Im no idiot and either are my friends and allies and we think what you are saying it total crap. She is a CENTRIST.
