Hillary’s in a battle with Sanders, and Bill is getting nervous
“But I learned from my mom and my faith that it is not whether you get knocked down it is whether you get back up”.
Norwich University political science professor Megan Remmel says there’s no doubt that Sanders is doing much better than Hillary Clinton with younger voters in Iowa.
Democratic caucus-goers surveyed said they trusted Sanders over Clinton on the economy by 22 percentage points, and 67% said they felt his proposals would help the middle class. Only 30% of those polled said they felt Clinton’s economic policies would help the middle class.
Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist polls also showed tighter races in both states, with Clinton leading by 48 to 45 percent in Iowa – an effective dead heat with the 4.8 percentage point margin of error – and Sanders leading at 50 to 46 percent in New Hampshire, also within the 4.8 percent margin of error.
“Hillary Clinton does not consider Planned Parenthood a member of the establishment”, Mr. Clinton said as reported by ABC News. “But, you know what, Hillary Clinton has been around there for a very, very long time, and some of these groups are, in fact, part of the establishment”.
“I don’t really understand what he means by that”.
Damn, Hillary. Hope you have some medicated ointment for those berns (ugh sorry sorry is this election over yet?).
Clinton has a slim lead over rival Bernie Sanders in Iowa polls, less than two weeks before the caucuses.
At these last stops across Iowa before the caucuses, flanked by her campaign’s signature “Fighting For Us” signs, Clinton has taken to naming the men and women she’s met in her nine months on the campaign trail, people who’ve shared their problems and need urgent, pragmatic solutions, she says. She took aim at Sanders in a speech Thursday. Sanders’ campaign bristled at the comment.
“#ImSoEstablishment that I support @HRC and @PPact”, said one. Ted Cruz with 26 percent.
Essentially the poll’s telling us what we already knew: There are many more Trump fans than Cruz fans among the broader population, including in Iowa, and if Trump can get them to turn out on caucus night he’s going to win. Similar unbelectable arguments are being made by Republican establishment figures against front-runners Donald Trump and Texas Sen. “But we have to keep forging our way forward and try to bring people back to together again”. It also seeks to focus the foreign policy conversation on topics other than the one where she’s received the most criticism from Democrats: her 2003 vote in favor of the Iraq invasion. The larger numbers of minority voters in the later contests benefit Clinton, who’s consistently polled better among those groups.
