Facing NH loss, Clinton looks ahead to counter Sanders

At an event in Milford, New Hampshire, Bill Clinton hardened his rhetoric against Bernie Sanders on several fronts, including an accusation of sexism leveled at supporters of Bernie Sanders for their attacks on Hillary Clinton. According to her, they have the strongest ground-game of any candidate on New Hampshire’s college campuses.

Clinton’s struggles with women underscore the extent to which she has not yet figured out how to harness the history-making potential of her candidacy in the same way that Barack Obama mobilized minorities and white liberals excited about electing the first black president. Even as Bill Clinton, dressed like a local in a red-checked lumberjack shirt and dungarees, sought to charm voters at town halls and Hillary Clinton worked the customers at a Dunkin’ Donuts in Manchester, the Clinton campaign was already looking beyond this state. But that’s a common comment about all candidates.

“She and other people who have gone online to defend Hillary, to explain why they supported her, have been subject to vicious trolling and attacks that are literally too profane often, not to mention sexist, to repeat”, he said.

“I don’t want anybody, anybody, who is engaged in sexism to support me”, Sanders told NBC News’ Kate Snow in New Hampshire on Sunday. “It’s fair to point out differences between them”. “What happened in Flint is immoral”, Clinton said at the House of Prayer Missionary Baptist Church. Prior to the Iowa caucuses last week, I wrote that it was theoretically possible for two populist extremists (Trump and Sanders) to win in Iowa €”and then go on to win New Hampshire, too.

Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders bursts onto the stage to raucous cheers from his adoring fans: “This is a loud and boisterous crowd!” he says. Look, anybody who is supporting me that is doing the sexist things is-we don’t want them.

The Sanders campaign called Bill Clinton’s recent attacks “disappointing” but was not surprised. “We have more experience with him than her”, said Falter.

Sanders passed up all that on Monday, instead telling supporters in Nashua, “We have come a long way in the last nine months”. It seems like once you’re not with him, you become a focal point of his attacks. Sanders, however, is gaining on her in both areas. Will that really help Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign?

Yet even Clinton supporters scratch their heads at the accusations of dirty campaigning. “But you need a change maker”. “It’s getting near the finish line, and everybody is elbowing as much as they can to make some room”.

“It’s unfortunate that President Clinton is choosing to engage in the kind of negative attacks that he is on the eve of the New Hampshire primary”, Weaver said. “It’s a bad strategy”, he said.

Hopefully, it brought in some new supporters for either side as the race for presidency starts to really gain momentum. “I will stand with you every step of the way”.

If anything, the two have been largely cordial personally, and equally aggressive in pointing out differences on issues and approach.

Hillary and Bill’s speaking fees have added up to $153 million. She has since said her vote was a mistake, and her decision was influenced by bogus intelligence spread by the Bush administration. “It is undermining American democracy”. When he introduced a well-worn anecdote about corporate welfare, audience members recognized it centered on Walmart and called out the name of the company.

“It would’ve been another stop on the trail if she didn’t get misty”. “You gotta give it to ’em”, he said.

He hasn’t been negative: He’s stuck to positions and policy.

“Hillary doesn’t seem to address those huge issues”, said Alexis Isabel Moncada, whose @feministculture Twitter account launched in April and boasts 170,000 followers.

For her part, Clinton has accused Sanders of voting with the National Rifle Association numerous times, including for a bill to shield gun makers from lawsuits. However, the most important question is, “What makes one candidate more likely to succeed than the other?” A group of about 25 volunteers, Coleman included, drove up to New Hampshire this week to stump for Sanders ahead of Tuesday’s primary.

“It’s going to be very bad hard not to be negative”, she said. “I’m going to take a quick break, go there, talk to them and then I’ll come back”, she promised.
