Heading into crucial primaries in auto industry states such as Michigan and Ohio, Hillary Clinton in recent days has argued that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2009 vote to block the release of Wall Street bailout money proves he “was against the auto bailout” and that he voted “against the money that ended up saving the auto industry.” But other Democratic lawmakers who voted the same way as Sanders are challenging Clinton’s portrayal of that vote.
In interviews with International Business Times, two former Democratic senators took issue with the notion promoted by the former secretary of state that their vote to block Wall Street bailout money somehow put them at odds with the auto industry. Another Democratic senator’s office told IBT that the vote was about reining in the financial industry — not about opposing help for autoworkers.
In Clinton’s telling at debates and in a campaign ad, because a comparatively small portion of the Wall Street bailout money ended up being used to help automakers, those lawmakers who voted in 2009 to block some of the bailout money from being released were abandoning autoworkers and the domestic auto industry.
LOL....even they are getting fed up with her BS

Hillary Clinton is destroying the Democrat Party.
Attaway Hillary!
You show them! You’re special...just like Daddy told you!
So in the bailout how many dollars went to middle income workers directly?
