Clinton, Sanders clash on gun control

Anyway Clintonworld is counting on Bernie Sanders not being able to do well with black voters because a Killer Mike viral video is not the same thing as actual black voters knowing who the hell you are. Clinton also repeatedly hit Sanders on his inconsistent support of President Barack Obama, at one point saying Sanders called Obama “weak”.

HRC’s anxiety isn’t unfounded.

Meanwhile, in Birmingham, Alabama, Sanders walked on stage and opened with a page right out of Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s playbook: talking about his poll numbers. Her most significant loss has been in the field of self-proclaimed liberals, who now favor Sanders over the former NY senator and secretary of state, 42 percent to 51 percent.

“We are honored to partner with CNN on their town hall with our three fantastic Democratic candidates”, said Dr. Andy McGuire, chair of the Iowa Democratic Party. And it doesn’t surprise me when he said he wanted to be president.

The poll showed Sanders’s lead over Clinton holds in every demographic group, in particular voters under 35, first-time primary voters and those living in the northernmost parts of the state.

And she resurrected comments Sanders had made about Obama before his re-election, suggesting the president would have benefited from a primary challenge. Many progressive Democrats remain both unsatisfied that the Dodd-Frank financial reform law did not do more to break up the biggest banks and outraged that no senior Wall Street executives were prosecuted following the financial crisis.

Overall, 91 percent say they have a favourable view of Sanders, while just 2 percent have an unfavourable opinion. Eight years ago, the primary fight here between Clinton and Obama was bitter and tinged with racial overtones.

Clinton on Sanders: “He has voted with the NRA, with the gun lobby numerous times”. And topics much more in Clinton’s wheelhouse, like foreign policy and health care, weren’t addressed as much. Some 57 percent of those outside Iowa said they anxious about being able to pay back their debts, the most of any Republican. “I think in the end she’ll be fine”. Fourteen percent would not vote for Clinton, while 4 percent would not vote for Sanders.

“It just makes sense to highlight where you agree with a president who is popular among caucus goers, and Secretary Clinton found ways to get that done”, said Brent Colburn, a former Obama administration official who served as communications director for his 2012 campaign.
