Clinton considering staff, strategy changes to US presidential campaign
And by the next day, Bill Clinton appeared to have shaken the whole thing off. On Monday night in Hudson, joined by his daughter, Chelsea, a smattering of New Hampshire elected officials, Massachusetts Rep. Joseph Kennedy III, and Ted Danson (!), the former president offered a more subdued critique of the Vermont senator. Eight years ago young voters were a significant slice of Barack Obama’s support here.
On Saturday, Clinton spoke candidly about the difficulties and double-standards she faces as a female politician – a topic she rarely addresses other than to promote the historic nature of her candidacy. “People have stories of her. It’s fun to come out to Texas and hear those stories”.
But in an approximately 50-minute speech Sunday in Milford, New Hampshire, Bill Clinton laid into Sanders by name, painting his campaign tactics as hypocritical and unfair and accusing some of his supporters of sexism.
There are many well-known reasons why Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is expected to prevail in Tuesday’s first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary.
Clinton, in an election season that’s seen her fall from prohibitive favorite to underdog, was countering Sanders’s consistent criticism of her super PAC and her ties to Wall Street. “It wasn’t everything we wanted, but I often think of that old saying, you know, a person who refuses a half a loaf because it’s not a whole loaf has never gone hungry”.
When it came to health care reform, the Clinton administration failed in 1993 because “we just didn’t have 60 votes in the Senate”, the former president said.
The calendar of primaries favors Clinton.
In all likelihood, Trump and Sanders will win on Tuesday, and the show will continue in SC and beyond. The state is arguably a place where she’s overcome that weakness. But still he says Sanders presence on campus has been hard to miss.
Lucky for him, Democratic women stood by their man. A female aide, Betsey Wright, used the phrase “bimbo eruptions” to discredit women who blew the whistle on the Democratic presidential hopeful in 1992.
Sanders also wants to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, break up the biggest Wall Street banks, pour $1 trillion into the country’s infrastructure, expand Social Security benefits and make college free at all public universities by raising taxes on Wall Street. Look, she’s going to be the nominee, but she’s not going to get any style points and if she isn’t careful she is going to be a wounded nominee.
And after New Hampshire? “We are going to have a government that works for all of us, and not just big campaign contributors”.
On Monday, almost 30 of mostly Hispanic leaders formed a Bernie Sanders coalition, including U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva, state Sen.
More importantly, that woman has to be the right candidate.
Clinton won the Texas primary by cobbling together a coalition of women, Hispanics, as well as small town and rural voters that outperformed Obama’s strongholds in the largest cities, including Dallas. The event is a new foray into the campaign for Cuomo, who has typically shied away from national politics since he became governor in 2010, the Times said.
“When the exact same problems crop up in separate campaigns, with different staff, at what point do the principals say, ‘Hey, maybe it’s US?'” Axelrod tweeted. “The only responsibility women have is to vote, period”, she said.
The socialist Vermont senator is from a neighboring state, and he’s believed to benefit from New Hampshire’s overwhelmingly white electorate.
