Half of Iowa Democrats back Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton leads her competition among Iowa Democrats, but likely caucus-goers believe Bernie Sanders is the best candidate for the economy, a new poll says. “They have names, and hopes and dreams that deserve to be respected”, Clinton said during a Tuesday Facebook Q&A with Noticias Telemundo, an NBC-affiliated Spanish-language network.

“I’ve talked aboutundocumented immigrants hundreds of times and fought for years for comprehensive immigration reform”, Clinton added. But almost all respondents – 95% – said Clinton has the right kind of experience to be president.

However, 92 percent of those backing Sanders say he shares their values compared to 80 percent who say that about Clinton. The fundraising blitz, Bill Clinton’s most aggressive stretch of the yr, shows how Hillary Clinton’s marketing crusade can multiply her cash largesse with the assistance of her spouse, one of many Democratic party bash’s most prolific rainmakers.

During a New Hampshire town hall with voters, Clinton was asked how she would deal with undocumented workers crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

And even if Mrs. Clinton sews up the nomination quickly, subdued enthusiasm among the party’s liberal base could complicate efforts to energize Democratic turnout for the general election.

“I feel really strongly about this because, you know, some of those hijackers who flew those planes into the World Trade Center, they came here legally, and then they overstayed”.

One of Mrs. Clinton’s most prominent supporters in OH, former State Senator Nina Turner, defected to Mr. Sanders this month in part, she said, because she felt he would be tougher on special interests.

The candidate did touch on education as well, touting her plan to reduce student debt and provide free tuition to those attending a four-year public university or community college.

“And I would note, try going illegally to another country”.

Vargas, who noted that he has participated in over 400 events around the country since launching his group in 2011, went on to explain his objection to the term “illegal immigrant”.

In any case, Clinton’s experience as secretary of state seems to have played in her favor in the wake of the Paris attacks, as the same CBS poll found that 80 percent of respondents felt she was ready to be commander-in-chief.

“Yes, I will”, replied Clinton in regards to the request to no longer use the term “illegal immigrant”.

The Elko Daily Free Press asked Clinton what she thought of the proposed Hardrock Mining and Reclamation Act of 2015 that would charge new hardrock mining companies royalties on gross income.

Back on the domestic front, Clinton has also made significant strides in the so-called “invisible primary”, or the race to win the endorsements of Congress and state governors.

“These terrorists are killers, they are thugs, they are criminals, they need to be treated like that, not elevated as thought they are representing a religion because even if though they claim to, they are not”, she said, speaking at E.L. Pine Middle School in Reno.
