RE: Bernie Contrast in Nevada

My concern on this continues to be that Bernie gets to whack her around and she is purely positive to him in reply. * If HRC is asked about Sanders' Wall Street comments, can I suggest this as a response? I know Senator Sanders attacked me on this, that his choice. But the truth is, he and I both want to crack down on the risky behavior on Wall Street, we both want to make sure people go to jail when they cross the line. I think my plan is tougher because it also cracks down on the shadow banking world but the real difference is that every single Republican wants to get RID of the new financial regulations. I am going to make sure that that does not happen. We shouldn't be easing up on the kind of behavior that crashed our economy. We should be strengthening accountability so that never happens again. That's what's at stake in this election. *Mandy Grunwald* *Grunwald Communications* *202 973-9400* ----- I think this is good. What do others think?

The differences between us pale compared to what we see on the other side. But your choice in this primary really matters. Because we need a President who has what it takes to make a real difference for American families. A President who can get the job done not just on a few issues, but on all the complex challenges we’re facing. You’re not going to raise incomes for middle class families by raising their taxes. You’re not going to ease their burdens by making them pay for Donald Trump’s kids to go to college for free. And you’re not going to stop the drug companies and big insurers from ripping off consumers by tearing up the Affordable Care Act and forcing America to start another contentious health care debate back at square one – that just plays into their hands. I have plans that will actually help families get ahead and stay ahead… that will make the wealthy pay their fair share, hold corporate price gougers, polluters, and Wall Street speculators accountable, and prevent the Republicans from taking us backwards. And you can count on me to get the job done. I know how to find common ground and I know how to stand my ground...

Our polling shows this is one of our weakest areas. Further, our Wall Street approach has always been to agree about the problem, show passion about it, and say we have a better approach to holding the rascals accountable. The magic wand approach is very much what she used against BHO - .

But don't know that it is most effective contrast for her. Seems like we are picking the fight he wants to have. If we really want to do this, think your formulation is good but not convinced it is a good idea. I would also try to get less process and more values/outcomes in the sentence about being able to do all parts of the job. Give people as sense of her doing the whole job as POTUS is going to improve their life.

In particular, she's keen to find a way to keep going after him on Wall Street (she's convinced his plan is naive and unworkable) as part of a broader indictment. Today in Iowa, she was asked directly about her differences with Bernie and she gave an answer that leaned more heavily on "experience" than we'd probably like and also did a shadow banking hit. Then in her next event, she started talking explicitly about "electability." As Jen said and HRC agreed, we need to give her a better formulation. For the purposes of the Nevada dinner speech, Jake and I put our heads together and came up with a riff that keeps her in the "has what it takes to get the job done" frame and scratches her Wall Street itch without going down a rabbit hole. Pasted below with full speech attached. What do folks think? Could we discuss on 8am? Now, my opponents here tonight have a lot of good ideas and we share a lot of the same values.

Americans don’t want promises we can’t keep, they want real results. Anyone can say they’ll build a global coalition to defeat global jihad. But I know what it takes – a lot of hard work, shoe-leather diplomacy, and deep relationships. Anyone can say they’ll sit in a room with their Treasury Secretary and fix all the problems in our financial system in a few months. But that’s not how things actually get done. You need a comprehensive strategy to work with Congress, the Federal Reserve, and all our regulators to go after risk throughout the financial system. There’s no magic wand in the White House. That’s why we need a President who has what it takes to get results. I know it’s not going to be easy to break through the dysfunction in Washington. But I know how to find common ground and I know how to stand my ground... <2016-01-05 NV dinner - 930pm PT.docx>
