Clinton: ‘I Have References’ for President Job Position

The senator has surged ahead of Clinton in New Hampshire, and Clinton leads Sanders by only 2 percentage points in the latest Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics poll, down from 9 percentage points last month.

Sanders’ presence is strongest among the younger voters, while Clinton leads among women and the older group, according to the poll. As elections get closer, poll numbers tighten, she said, and that’s when it gets “exciting”. They’re jobs that can’t be exported. “If you want your supporters to turn out on a cold winter night, a really aggressive negative message is not something that drives them”.

“I have been working against inequality since I was right out of law school, and I have worked hard to try to level the odds for people who are often left behind and left out”, she said.

When asked if she was anxious about the recent polls showing Sanders edging Clinton out in early states, she admitted it was “a tight race” but she said that polls at this point are “artificial”.

New national polling shows that Sanders is continuing to narrow the gap with Clinton, creating a sense of déjà vu about 2008, when Clinton was eventually defeated by underdog Barack Obama.

“Their spell-check takes the word I’m trying to type and totally throws it out and puts something else in that has absolutely no meaning”, she complained to Jimmy Fallon on Thursday’s episode of The Tonight Show.

The former First Lady and Secretary of State said on MSNBC that Sanders’s plan would “basically end all the kinds of healthcare we know”, and her press secretary took to Twitter to advance the line that single payer health care would raise taxes on the middle class.

“I wish that we could elect a Democratic president who could wave a magic wand and say, ‘We shall do this, and we shall do that, ‘ ” Clinton said this week in Iowa.

“He carries a message of peace and prosperity under his presidency and I think a lot of Americans would like to get back to those days”, Clinton said in an interview on NBC’s “Today Show” on Wednesday. “I will be running against whoever they nominate; but if it’s Donald Trump, it will be quite the showdown”. Sanders has been laser-focused on this for decades, while Clinton has been much more of an ordinary mainstream Democrat – willing to push for policies that improve people’s lives, but also eager to win the business community to her side.

Clinton and Fallon closed the appearance by carrying out a mock interview, with Fallon acting like he was interviewing Clinton for the president of the United States.

“Fourth-grade social studies”, she said with a smile.
