In final Iowa blitz, an outraged Clinton channels Sanders

“You might have to cut a deal”, said Mitch Henry, a Democratic activist who was leading a small training for Sanders precinct captains Saturday afternoon in a coffee shop in Des Moines.

“I stand here as a really proud daughter”, Chelsea Clinton said at a rally in Sioux City, one day before Iowa Democrats vote in the state’s caucuses. Nearly every major candidate in both parties held campaign rallies and gave speeches across this rural Midwestern state.

“Donald Trump’s attempt at a hostile takeover of the GOP is astonishing in its breadth”. Campaigns worked aggressively to set those expectations in their favor for Iowa, the February 9 primary in New Hampshire and beyond. With that in mind on Thursday night, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and John Kasich all touted their years of experience as chief executive of their respective states.

“I would definitely beef up on the O’Malley top 5 issues, see what they are”, Henry told the precinct captains.

“When you’re not treated properly, you have to stick up for your rights”. Trump said. “Ted has a big problem”. Asked who would bring needed change to the country, Trump won 37-21.

“We won’t know whether or not this was truly a good move until we find out how Iowans cast their votes”, Republican strategist Ford O’Connell told VOA.

Cruz will also benefit if there is a higher than expected turnout of evangelical voters where he does extremely well in the polls.

Republican presidential candidate, Sen.

During the debate, Cruz appeared to struggle to adequately explain his past stances on immigration.

Sanders said the campaign isn’t just about his policy positions like making the wealthy pay a fairer share in taxes, demanding a $15 an hour minimum wage, pay equity for women and better trade policies. Democratic rival Bernie Sanders was a couple of hours away in Manchester, encouraging his grassroot supporters to get out on Monday night.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump lead narrowly just two days before the Iowa caucuses in the final Des Moines Register/Bloomberg poll, considered the “gold standard” of Iowa polling. On the Republican side, billionaire celebrity Donald Trump as regained his lead in the Hawkeye State, having erased a ten-point December deficit in this series. Marco Rubio, who is running third, pitched himself as the pragmatic choice for Republicans who want to win in November.

On the Democratic side, the situation in Iowa is no clearer.

Clinton’s campaign has an app that will help caucus leaders calculate the risks, however, which means they don’t have to worry about mistakes. The poll was taken from Tuesday to Friday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. He said they “apparently agreed” to May 24 in California.

Clinton has said that none of the info was classified at the time she sent it. She has turned over the emails to the State Department, which has been releasing them in batches.

The recent track record of her firm, Selzer & Company, is impressive: Selzer, who has polled for the Des Moines Register for decades, was the only pollster to nail the order of Democratic candidates in 2004. “We feel no differently today”.

De Blasio, who was campaign manager for Hillary’s 2000 senate bid, is not scheduled to meet with his former boss.

Sanders, who in the past refused to strongly criticize Clinton over the email issue, has not commented on the latest revelations.

De Blasio and his wife traveled to Iowa mostly on their own dime, taking an economy flight from Newark on Friday with a Charlotte stop over, according to his office.

Another lingering uncertainty in Iowa is the weather. Most gatherings will be in schools, community centers or other public locations, although at least two Republican caucuses will be in private homes and one Democratic caucus will be held at an equestrian center.
