How to Watch the New Hampshire Democratic Debate on Thursday

Clinton worked to cast herself as the underdog Wednesday, saying she had an “uphill climb” in New Hampshire.

“I do not know any progressive who has a super PAC and takes $15 million from Wall Street”, Sanders told CNN moderator Anderson Cooper.

The former secretary of state lags far behind Vermont’s Sen.

On the debates, the Sanders’ campaign, along with that of former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who dropped out after Iowa, had complained that the Democratic National Committee had scheduled only six, including some on Saturday night, when viewership is low, because its chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., is aligned with Clinton.

Clinton stressed her commitment to campaigning in New Hampshire, while acknowledging that Sanders is leading the polls.

Clinton’s team clearly sees an opening in Sanders’ comment. “Don’t go to war.’ Secretary Clinton voted to go to war”.

The election-prediction site FiveThirty-Eight uses its own statistical formula to project Sanders with a seemingly slam-dunk 96 percent chance of winning the New Hampshire primary. We have consistently worked with our campaigns to ensure a schedule that is both robust and allows our candidates to engage with voters in a variety of ways, whether through debates, forums, or town halls, while also leaving them the flexibility to attend county fairs and living room conversations for the direct voter contact that matters so much in the early states. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., answers a question from the audience during a democratic primary town hall sponsored by CNN, Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2016, in Derry, N.H. “I am looking forward to every opportunity because I know people here have a choice”.

To qualify for the primary ballot, Democratic presidential contenders need a minimum of 5,000 signatures, as well as 500 signatures from each of the state’s 27 congressional districts to field delegate slates. “Luckily for us she made a decision to come on over, it was really close between her going to Bernie and us, and she chose us”, Islas said.

It is an all around win-win for Democratic voters. “I know where I stand”.

Clinton is trying to cast Sanders as a rival with deep ties to the famously independent-minded state, someone whose win here is nearly a foregone conclusion. “I think we would win by a lot”.

“I think we are in an uphill fight right now”, he added, “but I am one who has vivid memories of 2008, having been a supporter of Barack Obama and coming in with a 12-point lead and losing by two”.

“I am not going to say longshot”, Shumaker said of Clinton’s bid in New Hampshire, “but (it) is certainly uphill”.
