Clinton jabs Sanders on “establishment” comment
He’s been in Congress. He’s been elected to office a lot longer than I have.
And, for now, the former secretary of state has an advantage in a series of Southern-heavy primaries and caucuses after Iowa and New Hampshire. The speech, one adviser said, was created to “shake some sense into Iowans” and escalate the experience argument she has been making against Sanders with limited success.
Team Clinton also organized a conference call with reporters to slam Sanders’ plan on ISIS and Iran, and David Brock, the head of a Clinton super PAC, questioned the lack of diversity in a Sanders campaign ad by telling The Associated Press: “From this ad it seems black lives don’t matter much to Bernie Sanders”. “A president has to deal in reality”, Clinton said at an event at Simpson College, in Indianola, IA.
The Sanders campaign wasted no time to return fire against David Brock, the head of the pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC Correct the Record.
“I don’t think there is a woman more confident than Hillary Clinton”, Lovato told the cheering crowd inside an auditorium at the University of Iowa.
Sanders, meanwhile, has opened up an eight-point lead over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, leading her in Iowa 51 percent to 43 percent among likely Democratic presidential caucus-goers. While Sanders demanded the governor’s head, he noted, Hillary Clinton contacted the mayor and scrambled to help demand the money for a fix.
Clinton is giving Bernie Sanders one more attack, painting him as a starry-eyed idealist incapable of acting on his ambitious agenda.
Sanders campaign shot back, citing Brock’s history as a conservative activist focused on attacking the Clintons before he became their ally, and saying Clinton should be “ashamed” of her association with him. Her recent comments about ‘ curing’ Citizens United echo Sanders harsh words about corporate funding in American politics.
A CNN/WMUR poll released Tuesday found Sanders trouncing Clinton in the state, 60% to 33%. “As president, I will fight to overturn it”, she said to the receptive audience.
Real estate mogul Trump led Texas Senator Ted Cruz 37 percent to 26 percent in a new CNN/ORC poll Thursday in Iowa, where both parties hold their cacuses on February 1. And it’s not at all clear why it is that Sen. “After all, Senator Sanders did come out against it”. “I’ve seen it up close and personal and I know what it takes”.
Marco Rubio (R-FL) is a distant third with 14 percent support. According to the Jewish Senator from Vermont, after the administration has managed to reach a nuclear agreement with the Iranian regime without going to war, “the goal has got to be, as we have done with Cuba, to move in warm relations with a very powerful and important country in this world”.
The poll adds to the trend of a surge for Sanders in the early states of Iowa and New Hampshire over the past few weeks.
