Clinton, Sanders on debates fence

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders ramped up his criticism of Hillary Clinton’s ties to Wall Street and history of evolving on issues, seeking an upset victory in Monday’s first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses.

The letter from Brian Monahan, the attending physician for Congress, detailed the health of the Vermont senator, who is vying with Hillary Clinton for his party’s nomination to the November 2016 presidential election.

Following the speech, Sarandon explained her reasons for backing Sanders in his White House bid, arguing that Clinton “failed” her, CNN reports.

Sanders’s new ad singles out Goldman Sachs as viewers see an image of the Manhattan skyline. “Our economy works for Wall Street because it’s rigged by Wall Street and that’s the problem”.

The spot is the second from Sanders this month targeting Wall Street.

Clinton offers great possibilities of becoming a great president if she is nominated, and her campaign should be singing her praises and not letting her advocates attack long-held policies, visions and dreams of the Democratic base that in many ways embody the core of the Democratic vision for America.

Earlier, Sanders’ campaign distributed a one-page letter from the senator’s doctor, who declared the candidate to be in “overall very good health”. “We will win or we’ll lose, we’ll do it honestly”, Sanders said.

But the call for more debates intensified this week after a hastily arranged debate next Thursday in New Hampshire was announced, organized by a news channel and a state newspaper.

Clinton’s once-formidable lead in the polls there has evaporated in recent weeks, and Clinton and Sanders are now locked in a tight race. While he supported civil unions as far back as 15 years ago, Sanders did so mostly because of his strong belief in state’s rights, and largely avoided the subject of legal marriage for same-sex couples at the time.

Sanders, when asked about his clean bill of health, said in an interview Wednesday that he has “been blessed with good health”.

At a stop Saturday in Des Moines, Clinton thanked supporters for agreeing to caucus for her and said she hoped “to persuade some more of you because we’ve got to keep the progress going”.
