Iowa Poll: Hillary Clinton’s lead over Bernie Sanders evaporates
During a conference call earlier Thursday, Clinton advisers accused Sanders of breaking a pledge not to air negative TV ads during his presidential bid.

Hillary Clinton’s attack on Bernie Sanders over health care policy isn’t done yet.
Maddow then asked Clinton, “He won’t level with the American people?” It features Sanders, a senator from Vermont, speaking straight to the camera and painting a contrast between “two Democratic visions” for regulating Wall Street.
Clinton is trying to attack Sanders from the right, while pretending to attack him from the left.
Earlier this week, Clinton’s campaign also released a television ad that implicitly went after Sanders. Clinton said, replying to a question on whether Sanders can win the presidency, reports ABC News. “Who, as you recall, took a lot of money from the financial industry when he ran in 2008”. Apparently she’s not concerned that she’s running for the nomination from a party who rejected her in 2008 partly because of her support for the Iraq war.
Cash is coming in four times faster each day than it was at the end of 2015, Sanders’ campaign is reporting, according to the Washington Post. It comes as new polls show the Iowa caucuses are anyone’s game where he’s locked in a virtual dead heat with his democratic challenger Hillary Clinton. Clinton’s national lead over Sanders has also taken a hit. When President Obama had majorities in both chambers of Congress, I sat in the White House for a year pressing for the public option, a much easier lift that was, let’s be honest, a bridge fuel to single payer, and got nowhere.
“Anything personal, we don’t do that in our side of the debate”, Clinton said. “We engage on substantive differences, and there are some”.
The progressive magazine’s nod is the latest in a string of progressive endorsements for Sanders.

Clinton’s interview with Fallon was her second appearance on “The Tonight Show” as a presidential candidate and came on the same night as the Fox Business Network hosted a Republican debate.
The Democratic race has increased in intensity.
“I find it exciting”, Clinton added. “It really shows we’re going to have a pretty insane last few weeks here”, said Grant Woodard, a Des Moines lawyer and veteran volunteer of many Democratic campaigns, reports USA Today.
