Sanders and Clinton clash on healthcare

Clinton’s lead over Sanders with black and Latino voters remains solid and is growing, now standing at a 71%-21% margin, which is a 10 point increase for Clinton since December. Moderators posed questions about the economy and Wall Street reform – issues central to Sanders’ campaign – more than any other topic.

“The good thing for her, and the bad thing for Sanders, is that because he spent so money and put so much stock in [Iowa and New Hampshire], I don’t see where it gets better for him”, one Democratic strategist unaffiliated with any 2016 campaign told Business Insider last week.

Democratic strategist Richard Socarides, a Clinton supporter, said Republicans were bound to portray her potential presidency as a third Obama term anyway.

Clinton charged Sanders “has voted with the NRA, with the gun lobby numerous times”.

A new poll released Tuesday found Sen.

“Senator Sanders called him weak, disappointing, he even in 2011 publicly sought someone to run in a primary against President Obama”, she said. Support among women for Clinton has also declined, dropping to a smaller advantage now of 54%-35% over Sanders. “And we are concerned that Senator Sanders has not thought throughthese crucial national security issues that can have profound consequences for our security”.

“After Iowa and New Hampshire especially, that will matter to a lot of Democratic primary voters”.

As Bill Clinton takes to the trail for his wife, his presence was also felt on the debate stage.

During the debate, Hillary Clinton said “We now have driven costs down to the lowest they have been in 50 years”.

Sanders called the attack that he wanted to repeal Obamacare “nonsense”, adding “we are going to move on top of that to a Medicare-for-all system”.

The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, Palin announced Tuesday she was backing the billionaire real estate mogul while appearing with Trump at a raucous campaign rally in Iowa, where both parties hold their caucuses on Feb 1. Al Franken, who endorsed Clinton over his Senate colleague Sanders.

He pushed on with his months-long assault on Mrs Clinton’s Wall Street ties, trying to cast doubt on whether she would be beholden to large banks and corporations that are key fund-raising sources in the presidential process.

The president has far less of a personal relationship with Sanders, though the two have met privately.
