Hillary Clinton campaign deploys husband very carefully
The new approach carries risks. The trip quickly turned into a media frenzy with the press receiving little to no access to the Clinton leading to an over-reported stop to Chipotle and a media rampage chasing the Scooby Van through a parking lot.
Brock’s plans rankled Clinton’s campaign aides, who, while happy to hit Sanders over policy, found the call to be distasteful.
Clinton and Sanders were each booked on four Sunday morning news shows.
If she does face Trump, Clinton said, “It will be quite the showdown”.
Clinton and her surrogates, including daughter Chelsea, have charged in recent days that the Vermont independent wants to dismantle Obamacare.
In New Hampshire, some people said that while Bill Clinton was still a compelling messenger for his wife, they just weren’t sold on her quite yet. “We will see what his response is when we go up”. “But we won’t be negative on them”.
The law Law bars Pica from contacting or coordinating with the Sanders campaign and it is unclear whether Sanders will welcome the group spending on his behalf. It will be held at the Gaillard Center, down the street from the Emanuel AME Church where nine African Americans were fatally shot by confessed killer Dylan Roof last June.
Additionally, it’s opened Hillary up to valid charges of hypocrisy; in the early 1990s, she supported reform that stopped just short of enacting single-payer health care, and she openly supported universal health care when campaigning against Barack Obama in 2008.
“When I asked her to marry me, I told her, ‘You shouldn’t do it.’ She said, ‘That’s not a very good sales pitch, ‘ ” the former president recalled, drawing chuckles from about 300 voters at Marshalltown Community College. “She said, ‘Are you out of your mind?” “In terms of bringing young people and working class people into the political process, and objective assessment will suggest that our campaign has a lot more momentum and a lot more energy than secretary Clinton’s campaign”. That could clear the way for Clinton’s team to retaliate with its own critical advertising. But losses in Iowa and New Hampshire could have unpredictable effects. She has an edge in Nevada, the first caucus state with a significant segment of Latino voters, and in SC, where black voters make up more than half of the electorate. “But for him to win the nomination over the long term, he’s got to get beyond that base”.
On Capitol Hill and in state party headquarters, some Democrats worry that a Sanders nomination could imperil candidates down the ballot in swing districts and states.
“If Mrs. Clinton loses Iowa and New Hampshire, that could create new and real problems for her here”, said U.S. Rep. Jim E. Clyburn, who will host both candidates ahead of the primary in his home state of SC late next month. Now, Clinton and her supporters control virtually all of the Democratic Party apparatus.
Sanders also said Saturday that he is pleased that the Blumenthal/Schiff legislation would leave in place provisions in the 2005 law that require child safety locks on guns and ban armor-piercing ammunition.
