Sanders will win New Hampshire
The parking lot and pews were filled this afternoon at House of Prayer Missionary Baptist Church as the residents of the city plagued by a crisis of a water system contaminated with lead waited for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Goldman Sachs, for one, declined to make an on-the-record statement…Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Mrs. Clinton’s opponent for the Democratic presidential nomination, has accused Mrs. Clinton of being in the pocket of Wall Street and big business by noting that she has received major donations from them and was paid more than $600,000 in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs in one year.
“It’s unfortunate that President Clinton is choosing to engage in the kind of negative attacks that he is on the eve of the New Hampshire primary”, Jeff Weaver, Sanders’s campaign manager, told Bloomberg. A shaky Iowa win, aided by the Democrats’ laughable “vote” counting and Hillary’s unbelievable luck on coin flips, propelled her to New Hampshire with some momentum.
She says she gets that, adding, “I feel it”. Since launching her campaign in April, she’s rolled out dozens of policy plans, tackling issues from autism to the Islamic State. “It is thinking big”, Sanders said during a debate last month in Charleston, South Carolina.
Having battled the perception that she was an overly scripted, nearly robotic candidate who failed to strike an emotional chord with voters, Mrs. Clinton eight years ago came to the edge of tears during a stop at the cafe as she spoke about what motivated her to undertake the mammoth task of running for president.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was faced with the nagging issue of her private email server once again during MSNBC’s Democratic debate in Durham, New Hampshire on Thursday.
The Sanders campaign has said it’s insulting to New Hampshire voters to suggest that they would only support him because he’s from the New England area.
But asked later if it had persuaded him to support the former secretary of state over rival Bernie Sanders, Qua shrugged his shoulders.
Susan Robinson, 69, is a registered independent who said she was undecided. “I will not for one minute forget about you or forget about your children”, she said.
Clinton talked about her progressive ideas on several of topics and criticized the Republican candidates, but she never mentioned Sanders. Joe Kennedy III, D-Brookline, Katherine Clark, D-Melrose, also traveled to New Hampshire to canvass for Clinton in the final weekend before the first-in-the-nation primary.
Two-thirds of likely Republican primary voters say they expect a Trump win Tuesday, up a tick since immediately post-Iowa, and slightly fewer now say they’ve ruled out a vote for Trump: 30% would not vote for Trump now, down from 37% who said so just after Iowa.
“(Sanders) is a lovable guy, but I doubt he can get anything through Congress”, said Gary Chehames, 73, of Melvin Village, N.H. “Look we don’t want that crap”, he said.
“I’m constantly trying to balance how do I assume the mantle of a position as essentially august as president of the United States, not lose track of who I am, what I believe in and what I want to do to serve?” she said.
“I think that is a question that is going to live on further, even after this debate is over, and it’s a question that deserves to be answered”, she said.
