Bernie Sanders makes history with New Hampshire win
In 2008, he was criticized for upsetting Hillary Clinton’s presidential chances after making impassioned, controversial remarks about voters choosing President Barack Obama over his wife. He declared himself the “comeback kid”.
Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont will have breakfast with the Rev. Al Sharpton in NY on Wednesday, a meeting that underscores Mr. Sanders’s push to strengthen his support among black voters. Clinton lost the primary by one of the widest margins in decades after a slim victory in Iowa earlier this month. “There are a lot of technical things that show a person’s record that just haven’t come out yet and I think later on there is room for that”.
The noticeable shift to one of Sanders’ key messages – inequality and the lack of upward mobility in the country – isn’t an accident.
Sanders, well-known to voters along the state’s Vermont border, stuck to core campaign themes this week in an effort to avoid upsetting a race trending his way.
Donna Manion of Bow came to Clinton’s nearby Concord rally still trying to make up her mind. I think you are going to see another influx of money coming in from the little folks in America to beat corporate America and Wall Street.
With the recent comments made by Clinton surrogate supporters such as feminist Gloria Steinem and Madeline Albright basically throwing the next generation of young women-traditional Democrats-under the bus in stating that they are only voting for Sanders to attract young guys or there being a special place in hell for them if they don’t vote for Clinton.
While Manion is still making up her mind, her husband is Sanders all the way.
“I want my first female president to be more than a symbol”, she said.
“Thank you, I really appreciate it”, he said. The New Hampshire primary occurs on Tuesday. Ted Cruz of Texas finished third with 11.6 percent, edging out former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who finished with 11.1 percent. Sen. Paul Tsongas in 1992.
And when Clinton defends those who bully for her – rather than acknowledging both sides of the issue – it makes undecided candidates more hesitant to take her side. Jeanne Shaheen, said, “There has often been a different standard” on how men and women running for office are judged.
As Greenstein called out to voters, asking if they were undecided, an elderly couple walked by and said they had voted for him. No, Bernie Sanders is not “attacking” Planned Parenthood. It also underscores the problem with what Clinton represents: In a year that voters are craving authenticity and a break from the political norm above all else, her almost three decades in the political limelight is a liability. “Frankly, for Bernie to say he doesn’t have a super PAC, labor unions are super PACs”. “I respect all the work she’s done as well as the experience she has”, Fagan said. Andersen said she would welcome discussions with younger women to persuade them.
Other female voters are unmoved by that argument.
After sorta suggesting that she might release the transcripts of her speeches, Hillary Clinton now backpedaled and is refusing to do it. He said Clinton would compile a lead in delegates giving her a clear a path to prevail. “It’s a trust factor”.
