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.

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”.
