Bill Clinton: Sanders Attacks on Hillary Have Been “Inaccurate”
Clinton is fresh off a narrow victory over Sanders in Iowa’s caucuses and aides say her performance there, where she became the first woman to win, has left her emboldened and relieved.
Bill Clinton also got in on the gender issue, ripping Bernie Sanders supporters for what he called “sexist” comments.
Mr Sanders has disavowed them, calling the actions “disgusting”.
He detailed Hillary Clinton’s healthcare reform initiatives and education reform programs before defending her legacy saying, “that doesn’t strike me as establishment”. “Look, we don’t want that crap”. The number one reason that voters support Clinton is her experience and record.
Hillary Clinton and Sanders have sparred over the former secretary of state’s relations to Wall Street and her authenticity as a “progressive candidate”.
Though Albright’s comment invoked massive approval by the women gathered to support Clinton for the Oval Office, that kind of support does more harm than good to Hillary’s campaign, political analysts agree, pointing out that the comment can easily push women who have not yet made their decision towards Bernie Sanders.
The six anonymous sources Politico spoke with said that Clinton would be more likely to add new staff members than fire any senior staffers outright in the event of a shake-up. Along with feminist icon Gloria Steinem, she criticized young women for picking Sanders over Clinton. “I have seen him speak many times, and he just didn’t seem to be the same guy”.
“I haven’t just talked, I haven’t just given speeches”, said Clinton. Real Clear Politics’ average of reliable polls had Sanders up by 12.8 points, and the Franklin Pierce University-Boston Herald poll has the difference at seven points.
Manchester, New Hampshire (CNN)Hillary and Bill Clinton didn’t back off their critiques of Bernie Sanders during a rally in Manchester on Monday, despite receiving some negative press for them the day earlier.
But if there’s a calculation behind the anger, it might be this: Hillary Clinton needs to do a better job of attracting female voters.
“There is still a huge double standard”, Clinton told a voter in a town hall when at the New England College about running for president as a woman.
The former secretary of state intends to use her trip to urge Senate Republicans to approve the $600 million amendment to help Flint. The candidate blamed her team for not getting her out of the mess quickly, and her team blamed Clinton for being stubbornly unwilling to take the advice of campaign chairman John Podesta and others to apologize, turn over her server, and move on. She can’t be establishment; she’s a woman.
