John Kasich Is “Only Plausible Choice” for Republican Nomination — NY Times

Bernie Sanders says he’s ready to turn the political world upside down in Iowa. I’m doing it so that our future will not belong to.the Wall Street political class. He’s the only candidate in the race for me that it really worth it. That’s why I’m here.

In Iowa, it actually does all come down to turnout.

In 2004, about 124,000 people showed up – with that year’s liberal insurgent, Howard Dean, particularly let down by the turnout, losing to John Kerry and never recovering. A classic example: Barack Obama in 2008.

But Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said in a statement that the Clinton campaign had not accepted debates his team proposed for March 3 in MI and April 14 in NY. The endorsement for Clinton received top billing on the paper’s website, and gave a more detailed impression of the Democratic field. On Saturday, Petersen said he was undertaking such efforts in Atlantic, Iowa, and leading efforts from a volunteer’s home. “You need local volunteers to help you do this. He is a fantastic dresser, ‘” Sanders dead-panned during a speech in Music Man Square in Mason City, Iowa. Still, there’s a sense of anxiety over whether Sanders can pull in voters who aren’t even on their radar.

The 68-year-old Clinton is beating Sanders, 74, more than 2-to-1 among all voters over 65 years old. “It is hard for me”. Instead, they will enter full get-out-the-caucus mode – dispatching herds of volunteers to knock on doors, deliver door-hangers and find ways to drive people to their local precincts if they can’t drive themselves. According to poll numbers, this demographic has embraced Sen.

With two days to go before the Iowa caucuses, Hillary Clinton is campaigning throughout Iowa.

Asked about hiding that side, the billionaire businessman says, “I’d rather not play my cards”.

Sanders tells CNN’s “State of the Union” that his campaign has gotten lots of people involved in politics who hadn’t been before.

Bernie Sanders, also campaigning in Davenport on Friday, and he did not mention the extraordinarily tight race four days before the caucus vote.

On Friday, I trekked over to Sanders’ state headquarters in Des Moines.

“I think the Republicans will be much more motivated to beat Hillary if she were the nominee, personally”, Petersen said. “Not that I’m afraid of him, but I just think you can get more done sometimes when you’re not overpowering the person next to you with insults”.

And that’s exactly when Iowa voters may find themselves appealing to a neighbor – or good friend or colleague – to join their side. Martin O’Malley has 4 percent.

Eight months into a once far-fetched campaign, the Democratic socialist has evolved into a more polished, more professional candidate, maintaining his candor in an election where authenticity is at a premium.

The other historical effect has been to cull the herd of candidates. Clinton seems different, she said.

Both camps said the agreement was not final and that the Democratic National Committee had yet to sign off on the deal, which remained under negotiation.

What they may not know is how deliberately he is currying their favor. “First of all she’s got so many wonderful young people working for her in all these communities”. Morton said afterward that Clinton swayed her, partly due to the gun-safety discussion. Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley was also there but did not sit by Cruz.

The result? A vote for Bernie is the best way to keep Trump out of the White House – something that most on the Left, including Clinton supporters, would probably agree is a good idea. There’s “no such thing as an election violation related to frequency of voting”, he said, and insinuating otherwise is “not in keeping in the spirit of the Iowa caucuses”.
