Clinton taps Lovato to court young female voters

But some political strategists say the potential for Clinton to lose the first two states is inducing a state of déjà vu.

Bernie Sanders, while major organizations that had their leaders decide have typically opted for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, reported the Intercept Friday.

Of Sanders’ universal healthcare proposal, she said that while it was great “in theory”, it wouldn’t be able to pass through Congress and would create a “divisive debate” that would end in gridlock. Democrats will choose who they want as their nominee on February 1 and both external and internal polls show the race is close.

Campaign manager John Podesta traveled with Bill Clinton in New Hampshire on Tuesday.

In December, Clinton led Sanders in the Hawkeye State by 18 points in CNN/ORC’s polling, 54 percent to 36 percent. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. speaks during a campaign stop, Thursday, Jan. 21, 2016, in Peterborough, N.H.

“I don’t think any celebrity would really influence my choice for president that much”, 23-year-old Grace Junkins told ABC News as she waited in line for the event.

Often overshadowed by the topsy-turvy Republican contest, the Democratic race has evolved to be just as interesting, especially when factoring in the national primary picture. “Clinton’s lead is evaporating in Iowa we understand why her campaign is panicking and saying absurd things”, Sanders campaign spokesman Michael Briggs said in a statement. However, a recent CNN/WMUR survey found Sanders with a 27 point lead in New Hampshire.

Sanders’ campaign has responded to the critiques by questioning Clinton’s judgment and noting her 2002 vote for the Iraq War, something that then-Sen.

Sanders, who has knocked Clinton for accepting speaking fees from Goldman Sachs, tried to draw a contrast Thursday with Clinton on Social Security. “The people of Iowa know that a lot of those attacks are coming from a super PAC funded by Wall Street money and the people of Iowa are not going to accept that, I believe”. One of them is his record on guns, including granting gun manufacturers legal immunity, and the poll shows more of the party’s voters identify with her, at 44%, than with Sanders, who has 30% support.

Sanders, an independent who aligns with Democrats on Capitol Hill, has far less backing among the party establishment than Clinton. Tam, does Hillary Clinton have any big names with her right now?

Trump’s popularity in Iowa has grown 15 percent since a similar poll in August 2015.

“So if the question is, can a Bernie Sanders and what he stands for, and the fight for economic and social justice carry over to the general election and millions of working people?”

“The fact that she could be first woman president is so cool to me”.
