Clinton pledges to stand with Flint through water crisis
For much of the race so far, Clinton had been restrained and had not outwardly criticized Sanders.
As the New York Times reports, he mocked Sanders’s criticism of the “establishment”, snarking that according to Sanders, “Anybody that doesn’t agree with me is a tool of the establishment”.
“Free college for everyone sounds better than what I said …”
For her part, Hillary Clinton’s final arguments for the New Hampshire vote also made efforts to draw a clear line between her and Sanders. He noted Sanders discussed the issue on Sunday and denounced anyone who would do “sexist things” while supporting his campaign.
The 42nd president was slightly more restrained at a Manchester rally Monday, but still admitted that the Sanders campaign has gotten under his skin.
During her remarks Sunday, she called the situation in Flint “immoral” and said that if a situation like this had happened in a wealthier community, “I think we all know we would have had a solution yesterday”.
“Anybody who takes money from Goldman Sachs couldn’t possibly be president”, Mr. Clinton said, repeating Mr. Sanders’ frequent attacks on Mrs. Clinton for her close ties to Wall Street.

“I don’t have any insight into her position on this”, Hillary told Newscenter 5’s political reporter Janet Wu about Warren’s endorsement. When she closed, a woman stood and yelled, “It’s your time Hillary”.
First of all, here, there’s never been a candidate bordering New Hampshire that didn’t win the primary in an open challenge including when I ran. I hope that we’ll be able to help.

Speaking in New Hampshire on Sunday, Clinton delivered an extended rebuke of the Sanders supporters, whom he said subject people who back his wife to “vicious trolling”. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said over the weekend that there was “a special place in hell” for women who don’t help women, while writer and famed feminist Gloria Steinem suggested women backing Mr. Sanders were doing so to meet boys.
She then spoke about her granddaughter, Charlotte, and said she “really could not imagine” how the people of Flint must be feeling.
