Clinton Regrets Going Easy On Sanders, Associates Say

Sanders has vowed to break up large Wall Street banks that were bailed out during the financial downturn in late 2008 and 2009 and suggested that Clinton would be more lenient in how she would address the financial industry.

Clinton’s problems are broader than her message: Opinion polls show that some Democrats and other voters continue to question her trustworthiness and whether she cares about their problems. The former secretary of state has been the dominant front-runner for the campaign but has watched her advantage in Iowa diminish and trails Sanders in New Hampshire, his New England neighbor.

Sanders’ central campaign theme is inequality.

In recent weeks, gun control and healthcare have become the sharpest points of contention between frontrunners Clinton and Sanders. But the reality in either case is that Clinton’s lead, which many observers believed would be insurmountable, has essentially vanished.

At one final point in the debate, Clinton vowed not to raise taxes on middle class Americans if she is elected president. Barack Obama. Obama gained enormous momentum from the win in Iowa and eventually went on to win the nomination. Not only does that state hold the first contest for them, but Clinton and Sanders are running neck-and-neck in both Iowa and New Hampshire, while she has held a commanding lead in S.C. polls.

With the first contests of the Democratic primary drawing near and the race tightening, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley will meet on a stage in Charleston on Sunday night for the fourth Democratic debate in a contest with firmly drawn battle lines.

Clinton and her surrogates are attacking her rival for not having the smarts and know-how to effect effective change.

This was Sanders’ position as far back as 1993 when newly-elected President Bill Clinton put First Lady Hillary Clinton in charge of reforming our disheveled and unjust health care system.

Instead Clinton, who entered the race as the prohibitive favorite, played it safe, opting for as few debates as possible, scheduled at times when viewership was likely to be low – like this Sunday at 9 p.m. on a long holiday weekend.

Sen. Bernie Sanders seems to have thrown a tough challenge at the former secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

During campaign swings last week, Bill Clinton appeared at tightly-controlled events and didn’t give interviews.

An uncommitted superdelegate, David McDonald of Washington, said that compared with eight years ago, Clinton had a better political operation in his state. “Its going to be up to him and well wait and see what he does, ” Benenson said. Her campaign also set up a bilingual phone bank there. “The key demographic that matters is African-American women and Karen Finney and LaDavia Drane and Maya Harris are very much focused on that group”, said Bakari Sellers, a former state legislator in SC and CNN contributor, listing Clinton’s top aides. This year, she’s all in for Sanders.

A man walks past signs supporting Democratic presidential candidate Sen.

“I’m pleased that this legislation is being introduced”, Sanders said in a statement. Clinton’s doctor determined she was “fit to serve” as president, while noting that she does suffer from “hypothyroidism and seasonal allergies”. “But this personal attack is another example of a sickness in our democracy when it is so easy for millionaires and billionaires to buy up candidates and elections”.
