Hillary Clinton appeared flippant with the Republican presidential debate and considered her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders’ campaign. Although Clinton has maintained a strong national lead in the primary race, a new Monmouth University poll revealed that she is trailing the Vermont senator by 14 points in New Hampshire, an important early voting state.
The debate starts at 9 PM EST on NBC, and you can stream it on the NBC News YouTube channel. “I said, ‘Hillary, because of the things that have happened to me in my life, I’ve met some of the most talented people of my generation in politics”. “I’d be digging my fingernails into my palm to keep myself awake”, she admits. Her momentum has stalled.
“I think she could guide her a bit” if she needed it, he said.
Clinton will be prepared on the issues, of course. He’s made reinstating Glass-Stegall, a Depression-era banking law repealed under Bill Clinton’s administration, a central attack line of his campaign.
In the city where a white man killed nine people at one of the nation’s oldest black churches and in a state where almost a third of the population is black, relations between blacks and whites are an issue. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt, left, speaks during a campaign stop at Dartmouth College on Thursday in Hanover, N.H.
Bernie Sanders is not Barack Obama, but he mirrors Obama in that he inspires among his followers a resolute passion and sense of mission that Clinton struggles to muster. Now with Sanders’ gap against Clinton narrowing in Iowa and nationwide, and a solid lead in New Hampshire, many of those Democrats are feeling safer casting their lot with their first choice.
Over the past several months, Sanders has repeatedly said he’d revisit his 2005 vote for the PLCAA, which protects gun manufacturers from most lawsuits created to hold them liable for gun deaths.
The Clinton campaign lashed out at Sanders for the perceived Wall Street slight, and Sanders responded with at a press conference in Hanover yesterday. Among Democrats, fewer than half said Bill Clinton should be more prominent in his wife’s campaign, and less than half felt that his presence in the race would boost her chances of winning. “Now, if that is the revolution he is talking about, I am anxious, folks”. That contradicted what Sanders had told CNN the night before and the senator doubled down on his pledge to release his health care plan last night.
Clinton said Friday that she has changed a great deal between her 2008 loss in the Iowa caucuses and today, telling MSNBC that she now has a “deeper sense of exactly what is going to be required” as president. Sanders and Secretary Clinton are Wednesday to the failed, broken politics and tactics of the past..
African-American voters favor Clinton by a wide margin according to preference polls, and they will likely make up a majority of the Democratic electorate in South Carolina’s February 20 primary and potentially in other Southern primaries that follow in March.
