Clinton concedes that voters wonder if she is ‘in it for herelf’
During an MSNBC town hall in Las Vegas, Clinton was asked about Sanders’ criticism of President Obama and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
With 76 percent of the precincts reporting, Clinton has 52.2 percent of the vote, compared to Sen.
Sanders’ supporters are alleging that foul play by casino managers helped Clinton out in Saturday’s contest, while Clinton’s camp has blasted – in at times vulgar terms – the Vermont senator’s assertion he took the state’s Latino vote.
Her win in Nevada gave her a much needed win and now is headed South where Sanders has a tougher road to find voters and most of all delegates.
Clinton’s campaign has tried to lower expectations for her performance in the caucuses, which are notoriously hard to predict due to the transient nature of the state’s population and the fact that voters do not need to be registered as Democrats in advance to participate.
But exit polls suggest that Latino voters may now be feeling the Bern, with 53 percent reportedly percent backing Sanders in the Nevada selection. I’m going to demonstrate that I’ve always been the same person, fighting for the same values … long before I was ever in elected office, even before my husband was in the presidency.
Clinton and Sanders, a US senator from Vermont, have been courting support from black civil rights leaders and voters as the Democratic race has moved on from mostly white Iowa, where Clinton narrowly won, and New Hampshire, where Sanders routed Clinton.
“One thing that is clear from our poll – and others – is that Clinton has been losing support and Sanders has been gaining”.
Clinton congratulated Sanders, but then needled him for his focus on condemning the rich for trying to control the political system.
Most polls had given Trump a big edge heading into the primary.
Sanders said he is in the race “to the convention”.
Seven in 10 SC voters described themselves as born-again Christians and over 4 in 10 said it matters a great deal that a candidate shares their religious beliefs – both increases from 2012. “Thank you, South Carolina”, said Rubio.
Clinton nearly crossed paths with Sanders at Harrah’s casino Saturday morning less than an hour before the caucuses began.
“Over 50 percent of a Democratic electorate is made up of African-Americans”.
Sanders meanwhile said he’s optimistic about the Super Tuesday contests on March 1.
Neither Clinton nor Sanders’ campaigns immediately responded to requests for comment on the allegations. About three-quarters support a temporary ban on Muslims who are not American citizens from entering the country, and those voters were most likely to support Trump. “More importantly, whoever the Democratic nominee is they will have my vote”, said Ferrell in a statement.
