Sanders is already beating Clinton in New Hampshire, and if he can pull-off a two-state sweep of the early primaries, that would completely change the dynamic of the race.
“Sen. Sanders wants to dismantle Obamacare, dismantle the CHIP program, dismantle Medicare, and dismantle private insurance”, she said, according to NBC News.

With Democratic rival Bernie Sanders surging in the polls, Hillary Clinton came out to strongly denounce the Vermont senator’s record on gun control Tuesday.
Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign released an ad ahead of Tuesday night’s State of the Union that aligns the 2016 candidate with President Barack Obama on guns and challenges Bernie Sanders to “pick a side” on the issue.
“I wish that we could elect a Democrat who could wave a magic wand and say, ‘We shall do this and we shall do that.’ That ain’t the real world we’re living in”, Clinton said.

Clinton has reiterated her support for the Buffett rule, named after billionaire investor and Clinton endorser Warren Buffett, which would institute a minimum tax rate of 30 per cent on those earning more than $1 million per year.
“You know, I adore my daughter and I know what she was saying because if you look at Senator Sanders’ proposals going back nine times in the Congress, that’s exactly what he’s proposed”. It would erase all the hard-earned successes of the Affordable Care Act, Clinton says, and be at the whim of Republican governors who implement it.
