Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders tied among likely New Hampshire

I envisioned the five of them sitting at a White House table, sharing their ideas on each topic, O’Malley telling his stories, Chafee going off-topic, Bernie raving about why the issue was important, and Hilary listening, making an informed decision. Mrs. Clinton spoke for 30 minutes and 25 seconds during the two-hour debate, or nearly exactly twice as long as Mr. Webb’s 15 minutes and 20 seconds, according to a post-debate tally by NPR. Jim Webb went to the media room for the interviews, Clinton sent her surrogates for the job.

Take the Trans-Pacific Partnership for instance. Clinton had polished responses, essentially denying that she flip-flopped. Adriana Helenek, mediator at Binational Group, said Sanders “addresses the major issues affecting Americans”. CNN fact-checkers disputed that. Meanwhile, only 21 percent of the Republican debate audience tuned in to watch the Democrats, the company said. After telling moderator Anderson Cooper that she had specifically asked to testify in a public hearing before Congress, and that her actions in the State Department were a mistake, it was clear that the former Secretary of State wanted to distance herself from this controversial topic. We’ll have to wait for the big national polls to see if the debate actually changed support levels much for either of them. But Sanders chose not to attack Clinton directly and even gave her a pass on the issue of her using a private email service while secretary of state – a problem that has driven down her poll numbers. During most of the voting, Sanders was picked as the victor by a whopping 75 percent of the respondents. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who has emerged as her main competitor, also staked a claim to victory, or at least to making a strong showing that will boost his campaign. Sanders’s campaign organized watch parties across the nation. Unlike Clinton, however, Sanders’ political contributions have come from 1.3 million small donations from grassroots supporters.

He made the comments in response to a question about an exchange on capitalism between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

“Our prison institution is cutting off the lifeline of our people, because more people who are incarcerated cost more money for the government, when they should put more money in education”, William McCurdy, who attended the rally, said. Stay tuned for the polls later this week.
