Sanders camp sees red after Clinton wins key green endorsement

(CNN)It was 12 against one at the Republican debates in Milwaukee.

Sanders and Clinton, along with former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, will face off in the next Democratic debate Saturday, November 14 at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa.

Clinton’s answer stands in contrast to her move left to match avowed Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders on major issues such as the Keystone XL pipeline, trade, and same-sex marriage.

Clinton’s town hall meeting included questions about how she might tackle the threat posed by Islamic State militants if she becomes commander in chief.

Touted as the first primary in the South and the first true test of Democrats’ ability to draw enthusiasm from a critical segment of their base, the Palmetto State will play host to Clinton, Vermont Sen.

“With the candidates there is a lot of intra-party squabbling now and the super PACs are coming up out of the woodwork, a few well moneyed ones, and starting to take out national ads against Hillary Clinton, targeting her in the early states”, said Viser.

Clinton easily has the best favorability rating in SC, with 81 percent having a positive view of her, compared to 7 percent negative. All three Democratic candidates were thoughtful and amusing, with innovative ideas about ending mass incarceration, enhancing voting rights, ensuring debt-free college and attacking income inequality.

“This election is about the future”, the 44-year-old Rubio said, setting up the conceit that his youth would make him the best possible candidate to take on the 68-year-old Clinton – a generational match-up that worries many Democrats. O’Malley directly called out Clinton, while Sanders did so indirectly.

His efforts to be bold have occasionally gone a bit too far, as they did when he told the Boston Globe editorial board last week “I disagree with Hillary Clinton on virtually everything” only to walk it back.

Clinton said in an interview with MSNBC last month that the scandal involving chronic delays for veterans seeking medical care or seeking to have their claims processed had not been “as widespread” as suggested, and accused Republicans of politicizing the agency. Clinton, who attributed Roosevelt as saying “states are the laboratories of democracy”, commented that she wants to see how the state plans work before a national plan is implemented by the federal government. “When I am running for office, it is a bit different”.

Clinton’s proposal will seek to address long wait times and mismanagement at the VA, according to a preview provided by a Clinton campaign aide. “Make no mistake. Today, not a single Republican candidate-announced or potentia-is clearly and consistently supporting a path to citizenship”.

Sanders has had trouble nationally putting a dent in Clinton’s advantage among African-Americans, a dynamic that could pave the way for her nomination given black voters’ strong influence in SC and other Southern primaries that dominate the opening stretch of the 2016 primary calendar.

Standing next to Clinton as she signed the paperwork was Dick Swett, former congressman from New Hampshire; Jim Demers, President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign co-chairman; Susan Lynch, former New Hampshire first lady; Bill Shaheen, Democratic Sen.

In the first candidates’ debate, in Las Vegas, Clinton argued in favor of tougher firearm laws and accused Sanders of siding with the gun lobby.
