Clinton dials back attacks on Sanders as Iowa caucuses near

Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., speaks during a campaign stop at Bedford High School, Friday, Jan. 22, 2016, in Bedford. Sanders is attracting Americans who are in search of more than a protest vote. But with so many people behind his back right now, Bernie Sanders is surely looking confident towards the elections.

“It’s usual for all candidates in the presidential, particularly someone who’s doing well and becoming a top-tier candidate”, Brock said Tuesday on Bloomberg’s With All Due Respect.

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton laughed when asked if she would release any of her speech transcripts that she delivered to Goldman Sachs in the past during a town hall Friday in Manchester, New Hampshire, The Intercept reported. Sanders was also the most trusted candidate on the economy, a topic on which Clinton had led in CNN polling since August.

“I was able to bring my years of experience to the forefront”, Clinton said about having to decide whether to go on with the inauguration despite the threat against Barack Obama, who she described as the nation’s “newly elected young dynamic president”. Both candidates planned to spend most of the next week in Iowa as they seek to start off the primary voting with a win in the state’s caucuses. The solid underpinnings of Sanders’ support also make it more hard for Clinton to cast him simply as unelectable and impractical. “You’re not going to be outside looking in”. “My sense is that Bernie is on my side”. Sanders is hoping to deal Clinton another defeat Iowa by using the same playbook. His campaign believes twin victories would give him an opening to push forward for the nomination.

Sanders and Trump share outsider appeal as well as overlapping views on trade and foreign policy.

“We get attacked about five times a day”, Sanders said.

People that sustain Sanders understand fully his policy proposals and are quite delighted with the fact that the Vermont Senator can’t be bought by big lobbyists, big corporate interests.

Sanders is a fierce opponent of super political action committee, which can collect unlimited donations. He also has become increasingly critical of the high-dollar speaking fees Clinton received from the same Wall Street firms that Sanders wants to break up. The odd time slot and limited number of debates provoked criticisms from Democratic hopefuls Sanders and O’Malley, according to Vanity Fair. “People of Iowa saw through those attacks then and are going to see through those attacks again”.

When surveyed, 60 percent of independents said they would back Sanders compared with just 24 percent who said they would back Clinton.

Most of Sanders’ supporters who were interviewed backed Obama and remain generally supportive of the president. There also is concern that while Wall Street banks have only gotten bigger after the 2008 financial crisis, the economic recovery doesn’t always feel real for the middle class.

“Healthcare improvements, college tuition, raising the minimum wage, combating climate change – these aren’t just liberal values or democrat values, they’re values that spread across the political spectrum”, said Nowak. She said she would be willing to accept Clinton as his running mate.

Sanders, meanwhile, asked people to dream big, again by invoking Obama to dismiss the naysayers. It is a clear indication that Sanders solidified his base in the state by campaigning there for a month.

“For me, it really comes down to this: We can’t wait”, Clinton said during the town hall.

“I think he cares for people in America, so whether it’s immigrants, or people coming over our borders, or the black and brown populations here, I can tell that he really does want equality”, Freemon said.
