Bernie Sanders ‘Won’ 4th Dem Debate — Now Democrats Name The Candidate They

In addition to his shots at Clinton’s evaporating inevitability, he relishes pointing out the big-money speaking fees Clinton received from Goldman Sachs, the Wall Street giant that’s a frequent villain in Sanders’ speeches.

“Today the inevitable candidate doesn’t look quite as inevitable as she did eight and a half months ago!”

Overall, 91% say they have a favorable view of Sanders, while just 2% have an unfavorable opinion.

Monday’s town hall comes amid continued questions about the relative scarcity of Democratic presidential debates in the lead-up to the general election November 8.

“And it’s not just the polls”, Sanders said.

Clinton takes 62 percent in the poll while Sanders garners 26 percent. “If you want somebody who is going to beat Trump and going to beat other Republicans, I think Bernie Sanders is that candidate”. He also pointed to the name-calling and candidates “ripping into each other”, which seems like a not-so-subtle hit at Trump.

A few supporters held signs that called Hillary Clinton the “Comeback Kid”-a nod to the nickname Bill earned in ’92 when he finished second in the New Hampshire Primary”.

“Bernie will be fun”, he said. That poll was taken when Vice President Joe Biden was still considering whether to make a third attempt to win the Democratic presidential nomination. Clinton has a comfortable 64 percent to 24 percent lead with voters over 50, who compose the majority of the primary electorate.

McCaskill said it would be “unfair” to compare Trump to Sanders, but said “they are both tapping in to anger, they are both tapping in to a huge number of people in this country that have lost faith that the constitutional government we were given, which requires compromise, is working”.

“The stakes are high. Sanders has not thought through these crucial national security issues that can have profound consequences for our security”, the diplomats wrote in their letter.

“We need a new agenda for American cities that will invest in the talents and skills in our people, that will invest in CBVG transportation, infrastructure and transit options, and make our cities the leading edge in this move to a redesigned built clean green energy future that will employ our people”, O’Malley said. Sanders’ defense rests in the logic that experience does not equal good judgment.

Unlike her 2008 primary run, this Clinton campaign has enjoyed a series of successes: copious fundraising, strong debates, credible policy positions, a crack field operation and her skill at turning the tables on Republican congressional inquisitors who tried to show that she mishandled a 2012 terrorist attack on the USA consulate in Benghazi, Libya, when she was secretary of state.

“Unless he crosses a line, I doubt it hurts him”. He has said he wants to see Saudi Arabia and Iran work together in a coalition to defeat ISIS.

The race to become the Democratic presidential nominee is heating up exponentially as candidates race toward the Iowa caucus, which is set for February 1st, less than two weeks away.
