After Iowa, Sanders campaign raises nearly $3M
In a campaign that’s been filled with zingers and gotcha moments, Wednesday night’s CNN Democratic town hall with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders got the candidates to slow down for a bit.
A relaxed and confident former secretary of state answered questions from voters after clinching the narrowest win in Iowa caucus history with 49.8 percent compared to 49.6 percent for Sanders.
In response, Sanders senior adviser Tad Devine objected to “the Clinton campaign dictating all the rules”, and declined to say whether Sanders would take part in Thursday’s debate, which would be hosted by MSNBC at the University of New Hampshire in Durham.
And Sanders pointed out that he holds a lopsided advantage among younger voters, who favored him over Clinton by an astonishing 70 percentage points in Iowa. “And your point is fair that we should’ve acted sooner”, he said. Let’s give it up for Hillary Clinton who will do what needs to be done. Now, here is the latest update about Next Democratic Debate start time, TV channel, how to watch online and live stream.
The two made their rival cases in interviews and appearances around New Hampshire and in back-to-back appearances at a town-hall style forum on CNN on Wednesday night. A CNN/WMUR poll released on Sunday found Sanders leading Clinton 57% to 34% in the Granite State. “I think we would win by a lot”.
It’s a show of fundraising prowess from Sanders that comes right as he and Clinton square off in New Hampshire. Then they said they want different conditions. Especially during the coming period of struggle against Bernie Sanders, we’ll be hearing that Hillary Clinton is close friends with Barack Obama and plans to continue his legacy.
Clinton acknowledged that she has work to do, particularly to convince younger voters to back her bid.
Sanders added that it was hard to take on the establishment “when you become as dependent as she has through her super PAC and in other ways on Wall Street or drug company money”. “I’ve been impressed with her record in the Senate, as first lady and as secretary of state”.
Sanders and Clinton oppose the Keystone XL pipeline, which would carry oil from Canada to the USA, saying the project would hinder efforts to combat climate change.
“Well, we like the term progressive”, Fallon said one final time, causing Heilemann to drop the question.
Sanders’ razor-thin loss in the Iowa caucuses Monday, and his formidable lead in New Hampshire polls, has heightened the possibility that the two remaining Democrats will be involved in a protracted fight for the nomination. The Sanders campaign wants to hold that debate in Brooklyn, New York.
“You can be a moderate”, Sanders tweeted. “I think it’s fair to say we have come a pretty long way in the last nine months”.
