Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton report same NY petition total

Sanders said he believes Clinton is open to more debates now due to her being “a bit nervous”.

The two should have plenty to discuss following the close race in Iowa.

Under the senator’s definition, President Barack Obama would not be a progressive, she said. In an interview with CNN, Sanders also accused Clinton of being a progressive only “on some days”.

Sanders cited her words in a Wednesday evening news conference in Concord, before noting that she has done some “progressive things” like advocating for children. Clinton’s likability, as a person, was put more front and center with questions about why young women supposedly don’t like her or her long history of dealing with extremely personalized right-wing attacks or, in the strangest question of the evening, how she can balance the ego necessary to be a politician with the religious duty to humility. “Attack her!’ Because that’s what will make the news”, Sanders said, adding that he would not run negative ads or attack Clinton personally on the stump.

“Except when she announces that she is a proud moderate, and then I guess she is not a progressive”, Sanders said.

Clinton called that a “low blow” and pressed her counterpoint that she’s the candidate with the ability to actually implement progressive changes. Sanders, riding his high favorability in a state that borders his stomping ground of Vermont, has a strong advantage, leading Clinton 55% to 37% in the latest CNN Poll of Polls.

A number of young people here, including some Clinton supporters, said Sanders’s appeal has gone beyond the issues.

I have to tell you I just could not ever skip New Hampshire.

“I do not know any progressive who has a super PAC and takes $15 million from Wall Street”, Sanders told CNN moderator Anderson Cooper. First, Cruz’s team sent out an email alert that neurosurgeon Ben Carson was taking time off from the campaign trail – with the insinuation that he would drop out – encouraging his supporters to “inform any Carson caucus goers of this news and urge them to caucus for Ted Cruz”. Voters under 30 were the most emphatic, with an astonishing 84 percent backing the 74-year-old senator from Vermont, according to entrance surveys.

Clinton is trying to cast Sanders as a rival with deep ties to the famously independent-minded state, someone whose win here is nearly a foregone conclusion.

Emma Sands, 21, another Clinton backer from Boston University, said that campus social media is dominated by Sanders talk. “That’s what she said”.

Most Clinton petition gatherers, said Albro, came from the party organization, many of whom have political jobs or were paid $10 an hour to get signatures.

“He says he’s a socialist, and the country’s not ready for that”, she said.

“Well, I don’t know – that’s what they offered”, Clinton deadpanned, but dismissed the notion that she can be bought by Wall Street. “To repeatedly suggest otherwise is an insult to voters in the Granite State”. We are prepared to show up for a debate next Thursday and for three additional debates in the months ahead, which we can all work together to schedule.

In a tussle over their very political identities, the two candidates are engaged in an ongoing argument over who is more committed to – and capable of – carrying out a liberal agenda on health care, income inequality, worker rights and more.
