Sanders campaign plans clash with political realities

“I’m going to Flint, Michigan”.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks during a campaign stop.

She then spoke about her granddaughter, Charlotte, and said she “really could not imagine” how the people of Flint must be feeling.

“That’s the way it happens sometimes”, she said.

More than 100,000 residents of the majority black and largely impoverished city have been forced to rely on bottled water since disclosure a year ago of a state government management scandal that resulted in the leaching of deadly lead into Flint’s water system.

Clinton repeated her accusation that Sanders and his campaign are engaged in an “artistic smear” by using innuendo against her.

To that end, the Clinton campaign has flooded New Hampshire with women surrogates hoping to wrap her race in the larger struggle for women’s equality.

Both Democratic campaigns have tried to manage expectations for the primary.

A super political actions committee that supports Jeb Bush is airing an ad that features his brother. When he was younger and more conservative, he said, the local New Hampshire publications he read would discuss Sanders and his ideas as “more of a scary thing”.

This is what I think.

Leah Mutz, who lives in Vermont and is the partner of Allen’s son, said that a man pulled her aside when he saw her Vermont plates at an Orford gas station to tell her Sanders’ socialism was not welcomed on this side of the border.

John Kasich held third place with 13 percent, while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was in fourth place with 10 percent.

But Rubio recited scripted talking points over and over during the debate, and was ridiculed by Chris Christie and others for his “scripted” lines and lack of experience.

Acting as one might be expected to act when their bread and butter comes under attack, Hillary Clinton got a little … shall we say testy about the scrutiny over speeches she gave to Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs. The Associated Press and other news organizations have asked repeatedly for transcripts, and did so again Friday after her promise to review the issue. Clinton won 69% of the sadder-but-wiser voters over the age of 65.

Anything that suggests she didn’t do that – or didn’t only do that – presents a major issue for her.

A woman in the crowd yelled out, “Anger!”

“Look, you know that anybody who is supporting me that is doing the sexist things is – we don’t want them“, he continued.

Sanders was to campaign in New Hampshire on Sunday following his cameo appearance on “Saturday Night Live”. She now faces a likely loss in Tuesday’s first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire, creating a sense of urgency for the famously private politician to create a more intimate bond with voters. Will voters see him as the robotic, “Republican Obama” that his enemies say he is?

Bernie Sanders has set his sights on New Hampshire after his self-claimed “virtual tie” with Hillary Clinton in the Iowa caucuses, emphasizing that the northeastern state could take the first step towards ushering in a new era of “political revolution” in the country.

Clinton said Sunday that Weaver, who received a standing ovation for her work on the water crisis, was a “servant leader”.

Clinton has pointed to the crisis of lead-poisoned water in Flint as an example of racial and economic injustice.
