Clinton steps up criticism of Sanders as unrealistic

His campaign said the ad represents Bernie’s broad appeal since launching his campaign last spring and talking to more than 40,000 people at packed rallies and townhalls.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are shadowing each other across eastern Iowa, eager to carve out any advantage in a race that’s deadlocked with just over a week until the state’s lead-off caucuses.

But tonight there was little talk of poll numbers among the 1,700 people – predominately students – who braced the cold to catch the show.

In a Democratic primary that appears to be tightening, Clinton has sieged on her experience as someone who has a deep understanding of the nuances of foreign policy from her time as the country’s top diplomat. “I’m voting for Hillary because she completely embodies the concept of female empowerment”.

On Friday night, however, New Hampshire Sen.

The latest poll from the Des Moines Register this month has Clinton and Sanders just a few percentage points apart among likely caucus-goers.

Whether the strategy will pay off at the polls is still to be seen. “I can safely predict that Republicans would love to have a debate with someone who thinks we should move quickly to warmer relations with a major sponsor of terrorism like Iran”, said Fallon.

“Her diehard supporters are feeling confident, but inside the campaign there is concern as much that she could lose to Sanders in Iowa and/or New Hampshire as what a long protracted, costly battle with Sanders could mean throughout the spring”.

Hillary Clinton is joined by Demi Lovato at a campaign event in Iowa City, Iowa, on January 21, 2016.

Her pitch made sense to Jim Bonney, 63, of West Des Moines, who plans to caucus for her. “It would be such a huge step”, she said.

The chairman’s close ally from Paterson, Assemblywoman Shavonda Sumter (D-35) has traveled to New Hampshire in support of Clinton and intends to return in the coming days.

A poll this week from The Economist and YouGov shows Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) continuing to make popularity gains in primary states as well as nationally. “As bad as things are in Syria, and they are, more Iranian troops are only going to make it worse”.

The former secretary of state was not so gentle at an Indianola, Iowa, event on Thursday when she delivered a blistering assessment of Sanders’ credentials, imploring Iowa voters to scrutinize his policies and readiness for the White House.
