Maddow Confronts Hillary on Sanders Attacks: You’re Questioning His Character

She also has to awkwardly correct Fallon when he assumes only she and Bernie Sanders will participate in the next Democratic debate on January 17.

Hillary Clinton has revealed she’s not intimidated by presidential rival, Donald Trump.

“He’s a lot more obsessed with me than I am with him“, Clinton said. “New Hampshire is still very close”. It is a result of his intelligence, honesty and positions on the issues. She said the difference was over how each candidate would approach health care, and that Sanders wants to “basically start all over again” and implement a single-payer system that she believes would cost “about $15 trillion”.

It’s a similar charge to the one Chelsea Clinton leveled against Sanders this week, which Politifact rated “Mostly False“.

Earlier in the week, Trump told Fallon, “She’s having a tough time”.

When “Face the Nation” moderator John Dickerson asked Sanders whether the ad attacks Clinton’s character – something he pledged not to do – the senator suggested that’s not the case.

“Thanks, Team Clinton”, says Michael Briggs, spokesman for the Sanders campaign. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley in a Sunday evening debate, meanwhile, told Fallon that she finds it “exciting” to be in a close race for the party’s nomination. Maybe Hillary Clinton should try leaving the family at home.

Despite her advantages, the poll shows that Sanders is pulling in more white and younger Democrats.

Mr. Clinton said, among other things, that Mr. Obama’s candidacy was little more than a “fairy tale”.

The Clinton campaign has been using the spending disparity to solicit donations from supporters.

Or how about this one from the Sanders campaign, released Thursday, where the Vermont Senator says, “There are two Democratic visions for regulating Wall Street”.

Clinton leads Sanders by only 2 percentage points in the new Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll, down from 9 percentage points last month.

While the Republicans have debates scheduled for the Saturday nights before the New Hampshire and SC primaries – when big audiences are expected – their six debates to this point (out of 12) have been held during viewer-friendly weeknight time slots. Most of the attacks came from also-rans Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. “I think what’s important is to, you know, really look hard at the talent, the experience, the energy, the commitment, the stamina, you know?” she said.

Not anymore: Bernie Sanders has been surging in both Iowa and New Hampshire, the first two states to vote.
