Clinton knocks Sanders’ health care plan

“If Bernie wins the first two, he might win here I wouldn’t be surprised if Bernie Sanders was able to knock her off here”.

Here’s how Chelsea Clinton attacked her mother’s Democratic rival: “Sen. We engage on substantive differences”, Clinton said, commenting on the rhetoric of Sanders’s latest ad, in which he said there were “two Democratic visions” for regulating Wall Street.

Sanders and his top campaign aides appeared to contradict each other earlier this week on when the Vermont senator – whose recent rise in the polls has anxious Clinton’s campaign – will release his sweeping Medicare-for-all, single-payer health care plan.

He also received praise from Vice President Joe Biden for his gun record and the historic campaign he is running.

In the ad, Mr. Sanders revisits the themes he excoriated Ms. Clinton over in a Wall Street reform speech he delivered in Manhattan last week.

“The only way to contain Wall Street’s excesses is with reforms sufficiently bold and public they can’t be watered down”, it concludes.

“Sanders is basically doing better than you with the same groups that powered President Obama’s victory in Iowa in 2008, mainly young people, first-time caucus goers and Independents”, she continued.

Should Mr. Sanders seize momentum once voting starts in the Democratic presidential nominating contests, there’s a growing belief that Mrs. Clinton’s 36-point lead in SC could quickly evaporate, just as it did in 2008 when then-Sen. Sanders, a 74-year-old socialist, is returning the favor, suggesting that Clinton’s more aggressive tone is a sign that her campaign is in “serious trouble”. I think that would be a big problem. Just a few months ago, Clinton was often leading Sanders by double digits.

“We’ve kind of known all along that this was going to happen”, says Doug Deaett from Hanover who has been volunteering with the Sanders Campaign.

“Anything personal, we don’t do that in our side of the debate”, Clinton said.

Sanders’ underdog campaign said it is seeing a surge of contributions as a direct result of the new attention it is getting from the Democratic front-runner, with money coming in at almost four times the average daily rate reported in the last quarter of 2015.
