Hillary Clinton knocks Sanders’ ‘details to be forthcoming’ health care plan

Mrs. Clinton likely stepped up her attacks after seeing the latest poll numbers coming out of Iowa and New Hampshire.

After Iowa and New Hampshire, the calendar seemingly swings in Clinton’s favor. The average spread is Clinton by 4 points, which is generally within the margin of error.

Two out of every three Democratic voters under the age of 24 (68 percent) are backing Sanders, according to a new poll, versus just 26 percent supporting his main rival, Hillary Clinton.

Sanders has pulled even with Clinton in recent polls in other early states, but he has had less success connecting with blacks in SC, the dominant Democratic bloc here.

“If [Sanders] comes out of Iowa and New Hampshire with big victories – if it’s close in both places, that’s one thing – but if he comes out of there with big victories, hey, man, it could very well be a new day”, Clyburn added.

In the past week, Clinton has shifted course in apparent response to Sanders’ strong poll results.

Before Clinton – or any Democratic candidate – officially announced their candidacy for the nomination, controversy of Clinton’s use of a private server when she was secretary of state dominated the discussion for the Democratic primary.

“And this year, you are one of our first lines of defense”, Clinton told Democrats gathered in a Charleston hotel ballroom the night before the party’s fourth presidential debate.

That’ll be January 28 in Des Moines, Iowa, hosted by Fox News – a mere four days before the Iowa caucuses. Over the summer, Clinton, 68, released a health statement from her doctor saying that she is in “excellent physical condition and fit to serve as President of the United States”.

However, Alemayehu believes Hillary Clinton is more than qualified for the job.

On Wednesday in New Hampshire, Bill Clinton detailed the economic growth under his administration, listing statistics on wage growth, the decline in poverty and insurance rates.

Clinton and her aides have changed their strategy to deal with Sanders and recently begun drawing direct contrasts between her and him on issues important to Democrats, including health care and gun control policy. Gun control has emerged as a central theme in the race, with Clinton citing it as one of the major differences between the candidates. “That ain’t the real world we’re living in!” Sanders’ clashes with the Democratic National Committee – from the inconvenient weekend scheduling of the debates to temporarily cutting off access to the DNC’s voter database – have done little to blunt his support.

The Sanders campaign – with more than 50 paid S.C. staffers and offices across the state – says its volunteers have knocked on more than 165,000 doors statewide and attempted to reach 500,000 voters, roughly the number of ballots cast in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary. Bill Clinton promised voters in 1992 that theyd be getting “two for the price of one” if they elected him to the White House, a presidential duo of the young Arkansas governor and his Yale Law-educated wife. Daughter Chelsea Clinton has offered critical words about Sanders, leading to a back-and-forth over his health care plan.
