Clinton, Sanders aim for victory in Nevada caucuses

Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) on Tuesday ratcheted up his criticism of former US Secretary of State and Democratic presidential rival Hillary Clinton.

“I mean seriously, that last one was at like 3 a.m., like Christmas Eve, on like C-SPAN 4 – so who do you think is more against you, the Republican Party or the Democratic Party?”

At The Ring of Fire, we’ve pointed out that the differences between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders on economic policies are a matter of degree, rather than approach. “When it really mattered, Sen”. “They have reached a critical mass in their investigation of the secretary and all of her senior staff, and, it’s going to come to a head, I would suggest, in the next 60 days”, DiGenova said.

Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign has focused on fixing America’s big problems: income and wealth inequality, the high cost of college tuition, climate change.

“Let’s be clear: This legislation, introduced by my colleague Sen”.

Second, his campaign argues that he is uniquely capable of driving massive voter turnout in November, implying that Clinton would fail to motivate voters.

While Sanders remains behind Clinton by a wide margin in national polls, he is optimistic and thinks his campaign has the momentum going forward.

Sanders’ supporters were by far the noisiest and most vocally enthusiastic from long before the candidates emerged.

In his speech, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley sought to revive his flagging campaign by moving to Clinton’s left on several issues.

O’Malley used his speech to call for the extension of protective status to refugees from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, and more broadly touted his record on immigration.

Sanders was greeted by a loud cacophony of horns and vuvuzelas in his cheering section, telling supporters that Republicans suffered from “an illness called amnesia”.

“While it makes for great political theater, there is zero chance of breaking up the large banks”, Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate.com, said. Campaigns gave supporters tickets to to the event and supplied them with different cheering paraphernalia. Ted Cruz, Sanders trailed by three points and one point, respectively.

Clinton has also been criticised for close ties with financial tycoons on Wall Street, and faced criticism for eliciting political donations from them while she was a New York Senator from 2001 to 2009.

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll from October found that Sanders outperformed Clinton in general election matchups in Iowa and New Hampshire nearly across the board.

“I’m a progressive who likes to get things done and I will get into that White House”, Clinton said. “Think hard about the people who are presenting themselves to you, their experience, their qualifications, their positions, but particularly for those of us who are Democrats, their electability”.

Sanders has repeatedly stirred up doubts about Clinton’s willingness to stand up to corporate interests as she takes in millions of dollars from maxed out executives. “Bernie Sanders have to be hoping Trump is the GOP’s guy”, Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University poll, said in a statement.

“I doesn’t concern me at all”, Sean Dolstad, a graphic designed from Las Vegas, said bluntly, reflecting what many of his Sanders supporting brethren said on Wednesday. In addition, the leading Democratic candidate even asked members of the crowd to raise their hand if they know someone affected by either condition.
