Democratic, Republican strategists review 6th Democratic debate and reset the presidential field

And while that storyline plays well with Sanders supporters who have a deep distrust of the party establishment, it’s also complete bullshit – and the last thing anyone should be anxious about as we head to the third state on the primary calendar.

Clinton was fairly flat over the first half hour, not quite as sharp as usual.

Clinton – who entered the race past year as the presumptive front runner with sky-high polling numbers – fought to reestablish her dominance after Sanders’ landslide victory in the New Hampshire primary earlier this week. Only seconds later, he accused Clinton of “flinging personal mud” at Sanders. The fact that Sanders defeated her so handily in the Granite State has only convinced the Clinton camp that they need to take a more aggressive posture toward him in the weeks and months ahead. You know, from my perspective, maybe because I understand what President Obama inherited, not only the worst financial crisis but the antipathy of the Republicans in Congress, I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves for being a president …

“They definitely came prepared to fight with each other in a substantive way”, says Tamara Keith, NPR’s White House Correspondent.

Although Priorities USA may have formed to help Obama, it’s now steered by her trusted advisers. President Obama’s approval rating among black voters has remained consistently high throughout his two terms in office, with 91% of African Americans expressing approval of his performance in a CNN/ORC poll from June 2015. Mr. Obama’s promise of that change animated his 2008 campaign and that year’s blowout Democratic win, yet Washington now appears more polarized – and gridlocked – than ever. “But I met Hillary Clinton”.

“In my view, the government of a democratic society has a moral responsibility to play a vital role in making sure all our people have a decent standard of living”, Sanders said. Say, 52 or 53 percent of the pledged votes? Kissinger served as secretary of state from 1973 to 1977.

When the AP conduced a survey of superdelegates in November, 359 said they “planned” to support Clinton.

But no word saw a bigger spike than “incarceration”, which jumped 210 percent, in part due to Sanders’ remarks on the rate of imprisonment in the African-American community. “That is beyond unspeakable”.

Clinton arrived to the church early – before the end of the previous service – and spent several minutes posing for pictures and greeting congregation members, including Nevada Sen. She said it was important to have a woman president, and she was anxious Sanders was too old. But that was only a projection.

Since then, the incarceration rate for black men has actually gone down instead of up, according to the Sentencing Project. It’s just that it’s striking how much that, or the U.S.-backed coup in Iran in 1953, seem far more animating to him than anything about the challenges of USA foreign policy in 2017. Actually, he wrote a blurb – one of those little nuggets that usually show up on the back of a dust cover as recommendations for buying such a book.

Still, “Buyer’s Remorse: How Obama Let Progressives Down” by Bill Press is at best the work of a frenemy.

But you know what? “That is the only way real change will happen”. Sanders genuinely believes Obama hasn’t done enough-and on some issues, he’s right.
