DEMOCRATIC socialist candidate Bernie Sanders told an audience in Milwaukee at the weekend that, as president, he would “do exactly the opposite” of everything Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has done.
Republican Mr Walker came to national attention in 2011 for his offensive against public-sector trade unions.
Mr Sanders had earlier spoken to a largely African-American audience in northern Milwaukee, telling them that police officers who break the law in shooting unarmed citizens “must be held accountable.”
His opponent, Establishment candidate Hillary Clinton, reminded Democrats in Wisconsin, who vote in their primary tomorrow, that she has always been one of them, unlike Mr Sanders, a long-term independent.
She mentioned her membership and support for the Democratic Party five times in the first few minutes of her speech at the Milwaukee banquet.
She said: “I am a proud Democrat and I support Democrats up and down the ticket, always have and always will.”
Ninety six delegates are at stake in Wisconsin. Ms Clinton’s lead has dropped to 228 after Mr Sanders won in Alaska, Washington and Hawaii last weekend.
