She, along with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, insisted she is just as progressive as Sanders, yet Massachusetts Sen.

He noted Sanders discussed the issue on Sunday and denounced anyone who would do “sexist things” while supporting his campaign. Sanders after New Hampshire. And those voters were a full one-fifth of the electorate.

The last time that particular polling outlet had surveyed voters nationwide, Clinton was receiving 61 percent of the vote to Sanders’ 30 percent.

He said Clinton would compile a lead in delegates giving her a clear a path to prevail.

“She was not supposed to have a campaign that was this hard”, said Democrat strategist Chuck Rocha, on Fox News. “I’ve introduced legislation. I’ve called them out”, Ms. Clinton said.

“I can, in my mind, think I’m pro-Hillary all the way, and then Bernie Sanders” ideas that he exposes me to really cause me to think in ways I hadn’t thought before”, she admitted. His supporters have built social media campaigns – Twitter Bombs – created to inject Sanders’ campaign with thousands of new, small-dollar donations.

The former president slammed the Sanders campaign as shady and untrustworthy, despite their peace-loving image and Sanders’s high authenticity numbers. Aides also feel targeted rollouts like the one she made on campus sexual assaults in Iowa earlier this year will help. “She was counting on young people … and that’s going to hurt her hugely going into SC”.

And Bill Clinton isn’t the only surrogate who’s stepped up rhetoric in the closing days.

That said, Rodriguez understands why older women may feel as they do.

His description of Sanders – “genuine” – comes up constantly in interviews with young voters.

And yet, that’s exactly what’s happening in today’s presidential race when it comes to Hillary Clinton’s support from younger women. “She’s been wealthy for so long”, said Gillian Under-Mochrie, 18. It feels like this is who individuals want as a candidate, not just people who have money and corporations. Those included attempts to discredit Sanders’s proposal to a move to a single-payer health-care system.

And the campaign has also tailored their media strategy to young people. Not to mention lumping groups like Planned Parenthood into the “establishment”.

In 1992, Bill Clinton used an unexpected second place finish in New Hampshire to rev up his struggling campaign, which had been dragged down by scandals and poor polling. The candidate herself played good cop, thanking the young people supporting her opponent and for “understanding the importance of getting involved”.

Over the weekend, the Associated Press flagged another dynamic at play in the Granite State, and it’s more bad news for Clinton.
