Clinton, Sanders to debate after splitting contests

“I never met him”, the iconic civil rights leader said.

Clinton, coming off a bruising 22-point defeat in New Hampshire, a state she won eight years ago, wasted no time trying to convince black and Hispanic voters that she, not Sanders, is the best person to champion their causes.

“I want my daughter to see anything is possible”, she said.

“Atlanta is the cradle of the civil rights movement, and John Lewis’ prominence as our top elected official in seniority and Democratic politics in Georgia carries tremendous weight and credibility”, said Georgia Democratic Party Chairman DuBose Porter, a Clinton supporter.

Clinton and Sanders are fighting for African-American votes for the February 27 first-in-the-South Democratic primary and have rolled out major endorsements over the last several days. A key area of her support is African-American voters in the palmetto state.

If Clinton solidifies her support among black voters over the next month, she could amass a significant number of delegates in the push toward the 2,382 needed to win the nomination.

(Sanders released a statement saying he supported additional sanctions.) The candidates could also face questions about the late-breaking news of a possible ceasefire in Syria, under an agreement announced Thursday evening by Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov. “We should not make promises we can’t keep”, Clinton said and warned that Sanders’ plans to push for a single-payer health care program would gridlock the political system and jeopardize Obamacare. “I met Hillary Clinton, I met President (Bill) Clinton”. And he noted that Clinton was the only one on the stage who ran against Obama in the 2008 presidential race.

And I appreciate greatly Senator Sanders’ voting record. In her concession speech in the Granite State on Tuesday, Clinton focused her message on racial justice issues, including criminal justice and immigration.

In their sharpest exchange, Clinton claimed Sanders had been unfairly critical of President Barack Obama.

The head-to-head contest between Clinton and Sanders was pointed, yet polite – a contrast to what has become an increasingly heated contest on the campaign trail.

Hillary Clinton took her share of shots at Scott Walker when he was a presidential candidate.

Clyburn, Lee said, “represents many constituents, [and] really represents SC, when you look at his constituency”. “Cleveland should drop this fee”, Clinton said Twitter.

Cynthia Quito of the Bronx explained she wanted to hear Clinton talk more about education. According to exit polls, many young women were galvanized by Sanders, believed that he was a more progressive candidate, and resented the assumption that they would line up behind Clinton simply because she’s a woman.
