Bernie Sanders at town hall: Experience ‘not the only thing’

Mr Obama’s kind words for his former secretary of state, in a Politico interview published on Monday, will help Mrs Clinton as she tries to link her campaign more closely with the President and so draw in more support from his backers.

Here’s what he said Monday night about college at a Democratic presidential town hall in Iowa.

Where he floundered: Mr. Sanders is doing better with millennial women than Ms. Clinton is, but he made a big mistake last week when he went after liberal darling Planned Parenthood.

Her lackluster response only “reinforced” Sanders’ point, Todd added.

Under the leadership of chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Democratic National Committee set a narrow debate schedule including just six debates, compared to the more than 20 debates in the last Democratic primary in 2008. Bernie Sanders, who is surging in the early state polls in the Democratic president contest.

Sanders thanked her and the crowd applauded. “Experience is important. But judgment is also important”, he said. He’s hectoring and yelling at me WHILE he’s saying he’s going to raise our taxes.

“I really appreciated what he said, and how he said it because it was a positive reflection on what we have to get done”, Clinton said. But he said the money would actually save money for families because they would no longer pay health insurance premiums. In Iowa, the contrast is particularly stark, with Clinton drawing far older audiences.

Clinton has been making the case that her time as secretary of state and a senator from NY, make her more experienced.

And we also should not count out O’Malley and his call for Iowans to “once again lift up a new leader” – as they did in selecting Barack Obama in 2008 – and to start him down the road to the White House. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. listens as he is introduced to speak at a stop at the United Steelworkers Local 310L union hall, Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2016, in Des Moines, Iowa. “It was because he trusted my judgment and we worked side by side over those four years”.

More than 14,000 people showed their support for the senator in Minnesota’s capital. His lack of foreign affairs experience, she argued, would spell disaster for the country.

“There seems to be a trending factor that probably favors Donald Trump”.

“When he was mayor he was popular among young people”, she said with a smile.

With polls showing a tightening race, an aggressive Hillary Clinton punched back Monday night against criticism that she’s been late to the game on economic inequality and is failing to engage younger voters – like her chief rival, Bernie Sanders.
