Clinton Expands Her Attacks Against Sanders Over Foreign Policy
He’s been in the Congress for 25 years.
“Sanders doesn’t talk very much about foreign policy, but when he does, it raises concerns because sometimes it can sound like he hasn’t really thought it through”, Clinton said.
Earlier in Clinton’s interview, she addressed Sanders’ assertion that Planned Parenthood and the Humans Rights Campaign endorsed Clinton because the organization’s are also part of the establishment.
The comment was the 2016 candidate’s starkest assessment of the fact she is looking up at Sanders in the Granite State and a nod to the fact she lost Iowa in 2008 but won the New Hampshire primary a week later.
Hillary Clinton has the edge in Iowa over Bernie Sanders less than 10 days before the caucuses there, according to a new poll.
But as per the latest opinion poll released by the same agency, Sanders now leads Clinton by eight points.
The former president’s approach was not to berate Sanders’ supporters or dispute their existence; it was, in classic Clinton fashion, to feel their pain.
Campaigning in the midwestern state that holds its caucuses on February 1st, Ms Clinton sharpened her tone, questioning whether Mr Sanders’s ideas can be enacted.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are shadowing each other across eastern Iowa, eager to carve out any advantage in a race that’s deadlocked with just over a week until the state’s lead-off caucuses. She drove hard into Sanders’ record in Congress pushing for healthcare plan, saying he had been unable to move the ball forward on the plan because it was impractical.
“For those of you who are still shopping, I hope to earn your vote”, she said. “I know Sen. Sanders cares about covering more people as I do”.
“Well, I don’t think so, but of course, that’s up to every individual voter”, she said.
“The real issue is: Who can win the election? I think I have the right judgment to conduct sensible foreign policy”.
But Clinton is defending her decision to deliver the speeches, which often brought in upwards of $225,000 a pop.
The State Department asked a federal court Friday for a one-month extension to publish the last of Hillary Clinton’s emails during her time as secretary of state.
“I believe we can wage an election based on what is achievable, what is smart, what will work”, Clinton told the crowd in Rochester.
Clinton said in Indianola, Iowa, Thursday that while she shares many goals with Sanders, such as covering as many people are possible with health insurance, he is too theoretical while she is pragmatic.
