Sanders Suggests Clinton Is Not a True Progressive

“I was excited”, laughed state Representaive Buzz Brockway (R-Lawrenceville), who has been among the legislature’s most visible supporters of Marco Rubio.

No one knew what Donald Trump would say after his first political defeat.

Ms Hillary Clinton was declared the victor of the Iowa caucuses yesterday (Feb 2) after final vote counts showed her narrowly beating Sen.

Donald Trump’s bravado has earned the real-estate mogul a hefty dose of derision on social media after the once-frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination lost to Ted Cruz in Monday’s Iowa Caucuses.

Mrs. Clinton’s campaign took a belated victory lap after The A.P. put the final delegate tally in its candidate’s favor, but Mr. Sanders, who has an army of small-dollar donors, is favored in New Hampshire by double digits in some polls, and his strong finish in Iowa has only energized his base.

It’s a strong third-place showing for the first-term senator from Florida.

“New Hampshire has a way of absolutely rejecting Iowa Republican caucus votes”.

Amid historically large turnout in Iowa, the unexpected benefactor was Rubio, who came within striking distance of Trump.

The Iowa Democratic Party said that it would not do any recount of the close results, and a spokesman for the Sanders campaign said it does not intend to challenge the results of the caucuses.

“I will be our nominee because of what you have done here in this great state”, Rubio said Monday night, pledging to “unify this party and the conservative movement”.

“So is America. We are going to create an economy that works for working families, not just the billionaire class”.

Sanders, who has not conceded the race, was asked on Tuesday morning whether he would contest the caucus results. This led to a discrepancy between the voter support for each candidate and the number of delegates each precinct could select. These “orphan delegates” had to be assigned somewhere, so precinct leaders contacted Democratic leaders through a caucus hotline. He is eager to move on to New Hampshire where he has a sizable lead in the latest polls over Clinton.

Iowa and New Hampshire, he said, are “two of the most challenging places” for Mrs Clinton’s presidential campaign.

The Iowa results – the closest in the history of the Iowa Democratic caucuses – were far tighter than Ms Clinton and her advisers had expected.

Clinton’s victory in Iowa means she will collect 23 delegates and Sanders will win 21.

The remaining candidates head on to New Hampshire for next Tuesday’s primary.
