Clinton pins ‘establishment’ label on Sanders

Recent polls show Sanders either trailing or leading Mrs. Clinton by a few percentage points. The larger numbers of minority voters in the later contests benefit Clinton, who’s consistently polled better among those groups. Since the most recent debate, support for Sanders has surged.

The crowd Thursday night included young women who like Clinton and are excited about the historic nature of her candidacy.

“I believe that we can wage an election on what is achievable, what is smart and what is workable”, she said. She has been hampered by months as more unflattering (and potentially unlawful) details about her email scandal come to light.

Emily Arvola, a senior elementary education major from Clinton, Iowa, said she’s “torn between her and Bernie”. “It is worse that she would hire a mudslinger like David Brock”, Briggs said.

“I feel passionately”, said Clinton, “that we’ve got to get the economy working for everybody-not just for those at the top”.

“I sometimes wonder whether those who are so adamantly opposed to the fundamental freedom to make your own choices on this most personal of issues are just unaware, ignorant, opportunistic, cynical”, she said.

Although she made a tacit case against him by saying the USA can’t afford to undo gains made under Obamacare (something Clinton has warned Sanders’ plan for a “Medicare for all” system would do), Clinton avoided mentioning the name of the senator from neighboring Vermont, something she was not shy about doing in Iowa. Her attacks, according to a memo describing the event, backfired when Sanders reinforced his message in his responses.

His campaign said the ad represents Bernie’s broad appeal since launching his campaign last spring and talking to more than 40,000 people at packed rallies and townhalls.

On Thursday, Clinton’s campaign denounced her presidential rival Bernie Sanders over his proposal to normalize relations with Iran. “That’s all I’ll say”.

Before serving as a Democratic senator, Clinton was the first lady of the USA for eight years and then served as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, noted The Hill.

She added: “I really don’t understand what he means by that. A candidate that they can’t control that really speaks to populist impulses that go beyond the normal power structures of Washington, D.C.”, Markay said.

But, she said, she’s still considering caucusing for Sanders.
