Clinton, Sanders trade barbs on primary’s eve
Republican contender Donald Trump has frequently taunted the Clintons on the campaign trail by rubbing in Bill’s history of infidelity and alleged sexual assault.
He said that while the Sanders campaign tried to blame the Democratic National Committee for the breach, they were actually guilty of stealing.
“I nearly fell off my chair when I saw that”, Mr Clinton said. She cited Jeb Bush, Rick Perry, Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders as examples of those who turned out to personally ask for votes.
Appearing with his wife and their daughter, Chelsea, Bill Clinton said Sanders is trying to shut down debate inside the party. “What happened in Flint is immoral”, she said.
“We can’t get in a place where we’re so mad that we demonize anyone who is against us, where we can’t have an honest discussion about health care, where anyone who is on the other side is part of a mystical ‘establishment, ‘” Clinton said. Mr. Sanders remains 12 points ahead of Mrs. Clinton in New Hampshire, according to the most recent RealClearPolitics average of all polls. Sanders got 84 percent to Secretary Clinton’s 16 percent with voters under 30, which is especially astounding considering that then-Sen. Bill Clinton’s almost 50-minute stinging attack at an event in New Hampshire was markedly different from the milder language that he has used to attack the campaign of the Vermont senator until now. Her advisers have accused Sanders of running a far more negative campaign than she is.
“I’ll let you know tomorrow night”, the voter said.
In the end, keeping Warren out of the presidential primary race might be the best scenario for Clinton.
The fact that this particular state once boosted her and her husband’s political careers makes her fall from grace in New Hampshire especially painful, writes The Boston Globe.
Bill Clinton’s comments were part of an increasingly sharp attack on Sanders, whose anti-establishment critique has propelled him to a double-digit lead in the New Hampshire polls. “I would be delighted to have her support at any time”. “But definitely 50-50, cause I know they want to”.
“I want to give him a shot”, said Nick Ayoub, 22, of Cambridge, Massachusetts. But to me, what feels decisively un-feminist is this notion that younger women are incapable of making informed, smart decisions about when it comes to who they’re going to vote for in this election.
