Cruz, Clinton call for calmer talk ahead of Iowa contest

The “electability” argument is likely to burst into the open Monday night in Des Moines, where Clinton and Sanders will both participate in a town hall hosted by the Iowa Democratic Party and Drake University and broadcast on CNN. The public address announcer introduced him as Carson, and Meadows proceeded to sing the national anthem in the neurosurgeon’s voice.

Most of all, they love the slogan: “Feel the Bern”.

Regardless of what I know about the state, in seven days, on February 1, Iowa will play a huge role in selecting the next President of the United States.

Bernie Sanders also drops – by two points – to 37 percent.

Justin Bamberg, a state representative and lawyer for the family of Walter L. Scott, fatally shot by a police officer in SC, announced Monday that he is withdrawing his support from Clinton and endorsing Sanders. Ted Cruz of Texas. He took to Twitter to call Cruz a “nervous wreck” who was “dropping like a rock” in the GOP race.

“There is no question that when it comes time, the president will be out there pounding the pavement for the nominee”, White House Communications Director Jennifer Psaki told The New York Times.

Trump has said he would “look at the good aspects” of Planned Parenthood before making a final decision about stripping its funding, but has said no government money should go toward abortions.

In addition, Clinton recently accepted an endorsement from Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and made an appearance in SC with former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri, a Clinton supporter, agreed.

Sanders offered plenty of kind words for Clinton, telling the audience he likes and respects her. Then, barely a minute later, he unloaded a withering attack on the former secretary of state.

“It is not easy for people to stand up and say that”, Sanders said, following Aldrich’s comments. If he does, undecided voters in the upcoming contests in New Hampshire and SC could take notice. Many say they prefer her rumpled 74-year-old rival, Vermont Sen.

Bloomberg’s entrance into the race, Sanders told anchor Martha Raddatz, “will tell people what I have been saying for a long time is that this country is moving away from democracy to oligarchy that billionaires are the people who are controlling our political life”. “But I believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in place”.

Sanders has dismissed those criticisms.

Clinton, who appeared separately, said she appreciates how Sanders has energized the race, and is proud of their issues-oriented campaign rather than trading in the insults she said are common among the Republican candidates. Until recently, Trump and Cruz had avoided direct confrontation on the campaign trail, but Trump’s description of his opponent as a “nasty guy” seemed to invite a response.

Rubio began an uninterrupted nine-day run Saturday ahead of Iowa’s lead-off caucuses next Monday.

The flavor is solid chocolate on top with plain mint ice cream underneath. “Beneath it, the rest of us”.

President Barack Obama, whose strong finish in Iowa in 2008 all but ended Ms Clinton’s first presidential bid, acknowledged how Mr Sanders’s populist outsider message has given him an edge.

Republicans are working to ensure their supporters make it to the caucuses that mark the start to the presidential primary voting. “It’s not communism”, said Susan Stanbury, 72, a retired town manager from Peterborough, New Hampshire.
