Hillary Clinton criticizes Bernie Sanders for ‘negative’ TV ad

John Edwards, she began her White House bid with confidence and led the Democratic field through much of the early months of the campaign.

After noting she and Sanders are close, host Jimmy Fallon reminded Clinton that she once “had a 20-point lead at one point”.

Thursday’s dispute represented only the latest firefight between the Clinton and Sanders campaigns, which comes as Sanders has surged in polls of Iowa and New Hampshire, the first two states to weigh in on the Democratic primary.

The Clinton campaign tried to coexist with Sanders past year, when his candidacy seemed more quixotic than it does today.

This tension between the different kind of campaign Sanders hoped to run and the realities of a presidential race have been building ever since Sanders used his speech at the Iowa Jefferson-Jackson dinner to lambast Clinton’s past positions, implying that the former secretary of state took poll-tested positions based on political expediency.

Hillary’s husband expressed that he believes she will carry on with the same success that President Barack Obama has had while in office. However, among likely Democratic caucus participants, Clinton remains very favorable.

The ad itself is, by most accounts, rather mild. This is exemplified by ringing endorsements from such progressive establishments as the Nation and MoveOn.org, and now, some would argue, Sanders has made the transition from a movement leader to a presidential leader.

Millennial women are among the supporters Sanders is counting on to help him pull off an upset February 1 in Iowa, where his poll numbers are surging, and hold his lead in New Hampshire, which will hold a primary February 9, to give him the momentum he needs to succeed in later contests where Clinton is favored.

The poll suggests challenges facing both candidates: For Sanders, the question is whether he can persuade first-time caucusgoers, young people and the independents who like his views to become voters.

Since the beginning of the campaign, Republican candidates have invoked the name of Hillary Clinton when making their case. In December, Sanders surpassed Obama’s record for campaign contributors when he hit the 2.3 million donor mark.

This time around, Clinton entered the race after significant buildup from fans, celebrities and other politicians urging her to run. Clinton, however, has a 25-point advantage over Sanders among Democrats aged 65 and older.

“Stop the presses! According to a new poll by Quinnipiac University on Tuesday, Sen”.

All through the campaign, there have been democrats saying, “Well, I like Bernie, but… the general election”. “Trump has more of a chance than Bernie”.

When asked if she was intimidated by Trump, Clinton offered a concise, “No”.

“People don’t have a long memory, but Bernie’s doing his best to remind them”, said Roger Hickey, a co-director of the liberal Campaign for America’s Future.
