Clinton cries foul over Sanders TV ad on Wall Street

It features Sanders, a senator from Vermont, speaking straight to the camera and painting a contrast between “two Democratic visions” for regulating Wall Street.

“I think the most important point to be made here is that Secretary Clinton and her campaign now know that she is in serious trouble and I think a candidate who was originally thought to be the anointed candidate, to be the inevitable candidate, is now locked in a very hard race here in Iowa. and in New Hampshire”, he said at a press conference.

“I don’t have a date for that”, he said earlier this week.

On Tuesday, Sanders confirmed to CNN he will release a tax plan to cover his health care expenditures before the Iowa caucuses three weeks from now, proving the Democratic primary is far from over. The campaign and a group of supporters celebrated the opening Wednesday night. Recalling Sanders’s pledge not to run negative advertising, Hillary Clinton’s campaign was somewhat outraged by what they said was an obvious change in tone.

According to a survey of likely caucus-goers by Quinnipiac University, 49% back Sanders, 44% are in favor of Clinton and 4% back former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley.

On Tuesday, Chelsea Clinton, campaigning for her mom in New Hampshire, described Sanders’ plans for health care as disastrous.

Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon told reporters Wednesday that it’s “alarming” that he will not say where he will get the money for the plan before the Iowa caucuses February 1.

She has gone on the attack recently, calling attention to Sanders’ votes on gun control and his health care policies. He argued that Clinton’s calls to build on the Affordable Care Act – “and not to be starting this whole thing over” – were consistent with the views of President Obama and national Democrats. It remains unclear whether Sanders will include broad middle class tax increases to pay for his proposal, as past Sanders proposals have, because Sanders has refused to specify in the campaign. Clinton, in particular, has pressed Sanders to explain precisely how he would pay for his Medicare-for-all plan.

“To claim that expanding Medicare to all would hand it over to state governors is a crude, inflammatory distortion, and shows an indifference to all those people who continue to be harmed by a broken system”, NNU co-President Jean Ross said.
