With Giffords in Iowa, Clinton criticizes Sanders on guns

Saturday night in Cedar Rapids, he really let it fly. “We have differences, but we’ve been debating issues about how to get the goals we share”, Clinton said.

And Sanders? “I believe he’s like we are”, she said. “I feel good about it but you don’t know what’s going to happen”, Bill Clinton said, noting Iowa’s history of unpredictability when it comes to choosing who wins the state’s caucuses.

Iowa Congressman Steve King (R), who has endorsed Cruz, spoke with Oskaloosa News about the fact that Trump wasn’t in attendance for Thursday night’s debate.

She has criticised her Democratic rival, Bernie Sanders, claiming that the Vermont senator has not stood up against the National Rifle Association (NRA), by citing his votes against a waiting period for gun purchases and for granting gun manufacturers legal immunity. “But none of it will stick if it’s not a voting issue and, as you go to caucus Monday night, please think about this”.

As expected, Clinton wins the majority of older, and more moderate Democrats, who have been reliable caucus-goers in past elections.

Mr Trump, the showman of the Republican race, made a dramatic entrance to a Dubuque rally as his jet flew low over a hangar half-filled by the waiting crowd and music played from the movie Air Force One. The paper accused Trump of disingenuously making promises to his supporters to win their backing, while it charged Cruz with alienating his Senate colleagues and criticized his positions on Syria and taxes.

Valde said after the event that promising to repeal Obama’s law is just a campaign slogan and he wanted to hear Cruz’s plan for a replacement. The Democrats have 712 superdelegates who can support any candidate, no matter whom voters choose in the primaries and caucuses.

Following a campaign event at a college in Grinnell, Iowa on Saturday, the former president greeted supporters mentioning his fond memories in Iowa both while he was campaigning for his own presidential bid and also for his wife’s eight years ago.

Residents in the town recently were told that high lead levels were found in drinking water last summer.

The process requires multiple steps and users must flip back and forth between three webpages. “Maybe we are ahead by a few points”, he said.

Flint turned off the taps to water from Detroit, which gets its supply from Lake Huron, and switched to water from the more Flint River in a money-saving move while under the control of an emergency manager in 2014.

“I think the possibility of electing a New Yorker to the White House who will help New York…in incredibly valuable to the people of New York City and New York State”, he said.

The Republican is focusing his efforts on the second state on the primary calendar.

On the Democratic side, it is not clear what impact a storm would have, he says. Campaigns worked aggressively to set those expectations in their favor (meaning, lower them) for Iowa, next-up New Hampshire and beyond.

Democratic voters also appeared to be divided on generational and gender lines even though the age difference between the two candidates was much: Sanders is 74 and Clinton is 68.

On the Republican side, it is billionaire Trump at the fore, tearing up the traditional playbook and largely avoiding the retail politics that require candidates to put in days and weeks in Iowa. The wild ride of the 2016 presidential races has undecided voters here turning every which way heading into the country’s lead-off caucuses.

For months, several media outlets have counted on surveys to understand where the race stands in Iowa.

Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) spent Friday morning campaigning with the senior Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley and the chairman of the state’s Republican Party Jeff Kaufmann.
