Clinton ally says Sanders slights minorities in new ad

And right now, he said, Clinton “is just completely dominating”.

“He’s got to work the ground game”, said Dr. Tim Hagle, University of Iowa political science professor of Sanders. “He’s been in Congress. He’s been elected to office a lot longer than I have”.

CITY, Ia. – Pop star Demi Lovato and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton kept it short and sweet Thursday night as they worked to create warm feelings for the Democrat among young voters.

But, she said, many of her friends are Sanders supporters.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says though many of Vermont Sen. While Sanders demanded the governor’s head, he noted, Hillary Clinton contacted the mayor and scrambled to help demand the money for a fix. Ted Cruz in the state by just 2.2 points and is facing what appears to be his second real challenge from another candidate in the race since he first took the lead there, according to RCP. “He is just so new”, she said of Sanders.

There are still several ways for this to play out strategically: the Clinton campaign has already sent at least one paid staffer to the late-voting states, has started to organize voter outreach networks, and likely plans to move the bulk of its paid staff in Iowa and New Hampshire to these states after the primaries.

Bernie Sanders is getting feistier.

The uptick in rhetoric comes in the final days of the Iowa campaign. Lovato has struggled publicly with mental health issues, a topic Clinton often talks about on the campaign trail. So-called superdelegates are a big factor in presidential elections: Roughly 30 percent of the 2,382 votes needed to win the Democratic nomination come from these people.

But Clinton has aired more than 740 gun-control spots in the state, 24 percent of her more-than-3,000 ads between December 18 and January 18. “Clinton’s lead is evaporating in Iowa we understand why her campaign is panicking and saying absurd things”, Sanders’ spokesman, Michael Briggs, said in a statement after the poll was released.

Sanders voted for the ACA, but says he wants to create a universal, single-payer system.

But on Thursday, Sanders went even further in analyzing what led HRC and others to endorse Clinton.

HRC president Chad Griffin is indeed a Clinton acolyte, who touts himself as “a veteran of the Clinton White House communications team and a native of Arkansas” in his bio on the HRC website.

“As a lifelong Democrat it’s kinds of nice to see two candidates in a tight race drawing sharp lines with each other while keeping it civil”, said Mo Elleithee, who worked on Clinton’s 2008 campaign, but is now unaffiliated with either candidate.

In New Hampshire, the high name-recognition enjoyed by Sanders – who drove in Thursday morning from his home town of Burlington – may well overcome such concerns.
