Hillary calls for Gov. Snyder resignation, but ‘crickets’ for this pol?

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and real estate tycoon Donald Trump are leading their respective Democratic and Republican parties presidential races but are locked in a dead heat with their rivals in the key Iowa Caucus, an opinion poll said today. Almost all of its users are millennials, ages 18 to 34, according to Comscore.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton poses for a photograph after speaking at a town hall at the Toledo Civic Center in Toledo, Iowa, on Monday.

In Sunday night’s Democratic debate, Bernie Sanders came out ahead for the first time, getting the most airtime.

“My relationship with him – it’s interesting”, Ms Clinton said to laughs in the debate hall.

Meanwhile, just 7.6 percent of Yik Yak comments about Clinton were approving, while 52.5 percent were disapproving.

The third participant in the debate, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, tried persistently to insert himself into the conversation, hoping to boost his poll numbers out of single digits. This year, with the possibility that Sanders could win both Iowa and New Hampshire, Clinton is counting on South Carolina’s large African-American population to serve as a firewall.

“After weeks of denying the legitimacy of the questions Hillary Clinton raised about flaws in the health care legislation he’s introduced 9 times over 20 years, he proposed a new plan two hours before the debate”, Fallon wrote.

In some respects, the debate crystallized one of the main differences between Sanders and Clinton: passion versus practicality.

As for the most tweeted #DemDebate moments, there was the Sanders-Clinton back-and-forth on Wall Street, then Sanders saying “Climate change is real”, followed by the discussion about engaging young people in the election.

The exchanges were a far cry from the first debate of their campaign, when Sanders famously refused to attack Clinton for her use of a private email account and server at the State Department.

Clinton holds a large lead in the most recent poll, which was done back in December.

Sanders noted that there are still 29 million Americans without health insurance.

In her remarks, Clinton highlighted several causes that she said are modern civil rights issues, including addressing gun violence.

Sanders’ call for normalization goes beyond President Barack Obama’s stated agenda, which is to neutralize Iran’s nuclear threat while continuing to confront its disruptions in the region through separate sanctions and diplomatic pressure.

Meanwhile, Clinton, is a realist who understands that working on improving on the Affordable Care Act, will require bipartisan help and she feels that Sanders plan is politically impossiblea point she made effectively on Sunday.

In a city reeling from the killing of nine parishioners at a black church in one of the worst acts of violence of 2015, Clinton attacked Sanders as being “a pretty reliable vote for the gun lobby”. Sanders in particular addressed Clinton 22 times, and O’Malley mentioned her eight times.

Clinton has also questioned the practicality of Sanders’ policy proposals.

Sanders supporters watching in Manchester, New Hampshire, said he seemed more engaged than in past debates.

Mr. Sanders was asked about his previous criticism of Bill Clinton’s past sexual behaviour.
