Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton still split over debate
Mo Elleithee, former communications director for the Democratic National Committee and a Clinton staffer in her 2008 campaign, said the last week before Iowa is a key test for every candidate.
Both campaigns acknowledge the state’s outcome will help shape the fight for the Democratic nomination.
The comments come as the Sanders camp reportedly weighs whether to in fact launch a tough attack ad against Clinton in the closing days of the Iowa caucus race. “I’m perfectly fine with that”, Clinton told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on “The Situation Room”.
But the call for more debates intensified this week after a hastily arranged debate next Thursday in New Hampshire was announced, organized by a news channel and a state newspaper.
Sarandon said Trump is “like the stand up guy at a wedding that gets drunk and just goes on and on and on”.
“Because there’s a lot we need to do in the country, we gotta make college affordable, we gotta student debt paid down, we’ve gotta make sure we get early childhood and paid family leave and raise the minimum wage, we have a lot of work to do, but it all really starts from just getting the economy to work again and that’s my highest priority”, she adds.
Clinton has 47% support compared to Sanders’ 42%, according to a Monmouth University survey released Thursday.

“We will win if the turnout is large”, Sanders said at a Bloomberg Politics breakfast in Des Moines. If Secretary Clinton wants more debates that’s great.
Clinton argues that her financial regulation proposals would do more to crack down on industry abuses and rein in risky behavior within the shadow banking sector.

The letter notes that Sanders has, over the years, been treated for conditions ranging from gout to hypothyroidism to diverticulitis.
Bernie Sanders was in “overall very good health” at the time of his last physical, health records show.
The 69-year-old actress continued that she felt Clinton was a “Johnny-come-lately” on issues like gay marriage. Senate attending physician Dr. Brian P. Monahan, states Sanders is “in overall very good health and active in your professional work, and recreational lifestyle without limitation”.
Sanders would be 75 upon his inauguration, making him the oldest president ever elected.
