Bernie Sanders’ campaign responds to ‘unfortunate’ attack from Bill Clinton
To counter Sanders’ momentum, Hillary Clinton has put her husband on attack dog duty.
In Iowa, it was Clinton who delivered withering critiques from behind the podium in early January, while Bill Clinton stuck to softer terrain of vouching for his wife qualifications as president, as well as a spouse and mother.
For most of the 2016 presidential campaign, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton has held her most formidable weapon-her spouse, former President Bill Clinton-in reserve.
Now, as anyone with an internet connection knows, it’s impossible for a woman to express any opinion online without getting shit on by trolls. Whereas, when I listen to Hillary, even though I respect so much of what she has done and the person that she is, I hear the word “I, ‘ “I, ‘I” a lot”. Reader, it would not.
He pinned the December breach of the Clinton campaign’s voter database in October on the Sanders campaign, and said that Sanders’s apology was two-faced.
“Have pro-Clinton journalists and pundits been subjected to some vile, abusive, and misogynistic rhetoric from random, anonymous internet supporters of Sanders who are angry over their Clinton support?” This weekend, former President Bill Clinton wooed voters in Las Vegas, campaign surrogates knocked doors in San Antonio, and Clinton’s aides announced an upcoming meeting with civil rights leaders in New York City.
In an attempt to sway women Mrs Clinton had Madeleine Albright, the first female US Secretary of State, appear at a rally. “And [Sanders] said, ‘Well, I apologize for that.’ Yeah, in public they did”. “I think you’ll see that begin to change as folks start to tune in as we head into the Super Tuesday states…That support will begin to shrink”. A moment in a Portsmouth cafe when Clinton’s eyes welled up and she became emotional was widely credited with bringing female voters back into the fold and helping her win the state after losing Iowa to then-Illinois Sen.
New Hampshire has been tough ground for Hillary Clinton.
“Only she can fix this”, one adviser said.
YoutubeBernie Sanders’ online supporters are an irate mob of sexist trolls is the smear that just won’t die, no matter how many times it is disproven.
At a town hall for New England College students in Henniker on Saturday, a young woman asked Clinton why some people think she is too “drilled and rehearsed”. It feels like this is who individuals want as a candidate, not just people who have money and corporations.
In a sign that the formerly inevitable nominee is growing anxious, Bill went all-out against Sanders during a speech Sunday in New Hampshire that sparingly mentioned the Vermont senator by name, but implied that he was a hypocrite whose ideals were untethered to reality.
