Bill Clinton rips Sanders backers
Introducing his wife alongside daughter Chelsea Clinton, former president Bill Clinton was more reserved in his remarks about Mr Sanders after accusing the senator’s “Bernie bros” supporters of trolling Mrs Clinton’s defenders online with profane and sexist language.

On the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are looking for a win Tuesday to claim momentum before S.C. Democrats vote February 27.
“When you’re making a revolution you can’t be too careful with the facts”, he said, mocking Sanders’ calls for political upheaval. Still, even as New Hampshire state polling showed his advantage in the state slipping throughout the week, Sanders holds a seemingly insurmountable 16 point advantage over Clinton one day ahead of the vote. The primary in New Hampshire this week also will prove to be a tough battle for her in which she’ll probably end up losing resoundingly.
“Look, anybody who is supporting me that is doing the sexist things is – we don’t want them”, Sanders told CNN.
The margin for Clinton to pull off an upset in New Hampshire is small.
Team Clinton once saw the Granite State as friendly territory – after all, voters here rescued her husband’s 1992 presidential campaign and injected energy into her 2008 contest.
“Bernie took what they said good about him and put it in under all these endorsements, except they didn’t endorse”, Clinton said. “Anybody who takes money from Goldman Sachs couldn’t possibly be president”, Mr. Clinton said, repeating Mr. Sanders’ frequent attacks on Mrs. Clinton for her close ties to Wall Street.
It has ignited significant debates on college campuses across America – should young, women voters support Clinton because of her gender?
Clinton seemed to feel a renewed urgency and was certainly conceding nothing as she rallied volunteers and supporters Saturday afternoon at a middle school gym in Concord.
“I’m very committed to them”.
“When I think about what young people today have gone through, what they have known from our country, starting with a awful attack on 9/11, going into the great recession, there is no wonder that they along with so many of us are saying, wait a minute, we are better than this, we can do more”, she said.
