Clinton confronts Democratic rival Sanders on health care, guns
“His plan would take Medicare and Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program and the Affordable Care Act health-care insurance and private employer health insurance and he would take that all together and send health insurance to the states, turning over your and my health insurance to governors”, Clinton said on Monday, as the Washington Post noted.
Throughout 2007, she had a double-digit lead in the polls over Barack Obama, but the junior senator from IL ended up beating the former First Lady in the Iowa caucuses and going on to win the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. This is in contrast to Clinton’s lead by one point in last December’s poll by Rasmussen Reports.
Since the start of the year, Sanders and Clinton have both gotten more aggressive in pointing out their differences.
The online poll of registered voters shows Trump with 38 percent support among Republicans, with Ted Cruz receiving 20 percent and Marco Rubio receiving 11 percent. “Like many issues of legislation, it’s complicated”. Issues such as the job market, minimum wage and paid leave were the main areas of concern.
Tuesday’s results show that Democrats are relatively adamant about the candidate they are supporting in their party’s primary.
Sanders said, “Recent ones in New Hampshire and Iowa, face-to-face with Donald Trump and the other Republican candidates”.
She has also pledged not to hike taxes on families earning less than US$250,000 per year.
“Well, I mean they like to start that”, Trump said to a laughing audience. “I always thought this would be a close race, I’ve been around the track a few times, as you know, and it always closes”.
Clinton, who served as Obama’s Secretary of State, said that she would not offer a blanket deportation rule, and that each case should be determined individually. “Obama was there, he voted against it. And Sanders voted for it”, Clinton said of the liability bill in a meeting with the Des Moines Register’s editorial board Monday.
“I believe the people of Iowa have a way of sorting through things”, O’Malley said.
An Iowa Brown & Black Presidential Forum for Republican candidates was cancelled because of “unresolved scheduling conflicts”.
“She came out with a little bit of a statement about me, and I came out with a very big statement about her and Bill”, Trump told Fallon, prompting the crowd to laugh.
The poll numbers: Sanders has 36% to Clinton’s 53% for the Democratic nomination in the poll, and is also favored over Trump when paired against him in the latest Quinnipiac University national poll from December 22. “There is a major role that candidates can play, that the next administration can play, that can make us come to the table and have these critical conversations in order to fix the relationships between the community and police”, Rawlings-Blake said. “I said, ‘but – Jill and I will sell the house and be in good shape'”.
Clinton did her best to avoid saying Donald Trump’s name, but that didn’t prevent her from giving a gift to all of his Republican opponents. And Trump, I think, today even speculated as to why some of those people who are so far behind in the polls don’t just drop out.
