Clinton pins ‘establishment’ label on Sanders

Email seems to be back.

“I think a lot of people are thrilled that he’s catching on and what he’s saying is so contagious”, said Burton. She said she supports Obamacare and wants to expand coverage to 100 percent of Americans, though she never mentioned the term “single-payer” or the Medicaid-for-all system espoused by Sanders.

Still, her attacks on his health care plan to create Medicare for all haven’t given her the advantage on health care.

As Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) looks to score a momentum-building victory in the Iowa caucuses just 10 days from now, the progressive populist is ramping up his attacks on rival Hillary Clinton for delivering paid speeches before Wall Street banks after leaving the State Department, seizing on Clinton’s hefty fees to depict her as a creature of the financial establishment.

“Without naming any names, Goldman Sachs also provides very, very generous speaking fees to some unnamed candidates”, he said this week in Iowa, meaning her. If New Hampshire is any indication (where Sanders is ahead by nearly 30 points) Clinton should be very anxious about who will be standing on the Philadelphia podium July. A CNN/WMUR poll released Tuesday found Sanders trouncing Clinton in the state, 60% to 33%.

Singer Demi Lovato appeared onstage at the University of Iowa to endorse Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton for president.

We know, for example, that if you simply ask people if they’re “pro-choice” or “pro-life”, they’ll answer fairly equally down the line (though for the first time in years, more Americans call themselves pro-choice).

Long the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, Clinton is seeking to hold off a late surge from Sanders.

This Saturday, Pardee says it will be hard, but maybe not impossible to dash from Clinton’s event at an elementary school on the northwest edge of Clinton to the Sanders event downtown at the Masonic Center in Clinton.

The White House hopefuls are battling for dominance in Iowa before its crucial February 1 vote. The larger numbers of minority voters in the later contests benefit Clinton, who’s consistently polled better among those groups. The latest bombshell this week revealed that Clinton didn’t only deal with classified information on her private server – she dealt with “the most sensitive of the sensitive” – material even top lawmakers are forbidden from reading. That poll had Clinton leading by 18 points in December. Some of Clinton’s high-profile Democratic surrogates will also be fanning across the state, including Sens. “That doesn’t sit well with me, because we’re all in this together, and that’s what Bernie epitomizes to me”.

Geographically, Sanders is bolstered by independent voters and clusters of support along the state’s border with Vermont.

“I think Bernie is more of a Howard Dean than a Barack Obama”, said Buffy Wicks, a veteran of the Dean and Obama campaigns.
