Clinton rips into Sanders during Ames speech
Sanders has argued that he is a more authentic choice to be the party’s nominee as he tries to undermine Clinton’s double-digit lead in national polls by gaining ground in the important early nominating states of Iowa and New Hampshire.
New Hampshire, which borders Sanders’s home state of Vermont, remains ready for Bernie, with a new Monmouth poll showing Sanders with a 14-point lead.
A Monmouth University poll released Tuesday found Sanders leading Clinton in New Hampshire, 53% to 39%.
While Clinton leads Sanders among Democrats nationally by 15 points, according to a NBC News|SurveyMonkey online poll released Tuesday, the former first lady struggles against Sanders with young people.
This is Clinton’s second attempt at USA presidential elections.
National polls have shown Clinton, the country’s top diplomat during President Barack Obama’s first term from 2009 to 2013, with a commanding lead over Sanders. Three percent of those polled were undecided, pollsters said, and most voters stated that they’d made up their minds: Only 20 percent said they would consider changing their vote. Among all voters, she dropped seven points in the head-to-head matchup (Sanders gained nine), but the percentage of people viewing her favorably fell from 81 to 74. According to ABC News, Sanders is polling at 49 percent to Clinton’s 44 percent. He makes his first trip to Iowa Wednesday to campaign for her. Dickinson calls Shumlin key to Clinton’s arguments.
Facing a narrowing primary contest, Hillary Clinton ripped into rival Bernie Sanders on Tuesday, saying the Vermont senator was offering unrealistic policies and overstating his anti-establishment credentials.
“There are some parts of that bill are right, and there are some parts of that bill that are wrong, and I am, as I said several months ago, willing to re-look that”, Sanders said, refusing to say he regrets the vote.
The endorsement also comes days after Clinton won the endorsement of former Rep. Gabby Giffords and retired astronaut Mark Kelly, as well as Sybrina Fulton, the late mother of Trayvon Martin.
“I come from a rural state, and the views on gun control in rural states are different than in urban states”, Sanders said during the October 13 Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas.
While I support Bernie Sanders in the upcoming primaries, I also know that Hillary Clinton winning the nomination is likely.
The presidential contender said recent attacks on his campaign are “an indication that the Clinton campaign is getting very, very nervous” after months of ignoring Sanders’ progress.
