Iowa Voter: Hillary Clinton Has ‘Lined Her Pockets’ With Special Interest Money

Hillary Clinton turned to a new celebrity surrogate – singer Demi Lovato – on Thursday night in an effort to win over young women in Iowa, a state where Bernie Sanders’ strength depends largely on his ability to turn out the youth vote. “And when he does, it raises concerns, because sometimes it can sound like he hasn’t thought it through”.

Clinton campaign officials highlighted examples of Republicans defending Sanders, including a video by the GOP-aligned PAC America Rising that shows clips of commentators and journalists accusing Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea, of misrepresenting Sanders’ health care plan. That’s why it’s the hardest job in the world. For example, he suggested we invite Iranian troops into Syria.

The former secretary of state hammered the senator for the position, using it as an opportunity to highlight her record. “If Sanders gets his message out and wins Iowa and New Hampshire, then she has a problem, a major problem”. Sanders hypocritically refuses to do so – no true and honest devotee of Mega Government should be willing to tolerate Clintonian corruption in his sacred statist temple – and the wild cards are off the table, plus the “town hall” format of the surprise debate won’t give the candidates a chance to take shots at each other, so a last desperate shot at rallying the troops behind Clinton must have seemed worth the risk. “In various venues it just doesn’t come up, and he doesn’t mention it”.

The survey from CNN/ORC shows Mr. Sanders, who was trailing Mrs. Clinton significantly in early December, erasing her lead and overtaking her. Likely Democratic caucusgoers now back the Vermont senator over Mrs. Clinton by eight percentage points, 51 percent to 43 percent.

“The question for Democrats is this: Do you want a Democratic candidate whose vision is limited to what that candidate thinks the current Republican Congress will accept?” Where Obama is professorial, cool and slow to anger, Sanders yells and gesticulates his way through debates and speeches.

“I feel very positive about the organization we’ve built, the enthusiasm and energy of the people who are literally showing up in below-freezing temperatures to canvass for me”, Clinton said. More applause. He added that he tops Gov. Chris Christie as well, by a similar margin, while Clinton enjoys a modest lead. “In fact, she helped launch the diplomacy that helped”, Sullivan says.

“Secretary Clinton supports diplomacy with Iran”. Bernie Sanders, for her lucrative speaking gigs.

Sullivan’s comments echoed a common theme of recent days: casting Sanders as a foreign-policy lightweight.

At almost every stop, Sanders crusaded against big corporations, slamming Goldman Sachs’ $5 billion settlement with state and federal investigators last week over its handling of mortgage-backed securities before the financial crisis.

“I think it would be a mistake to offer normalized relations”, Clinton said, saying her commitment to the Iran nuclear deal is strong.

She said the Iranian government still engages in a variety of concerning behaviors, including supporting terror, backing Syrian President Bashar Assad and destabilizing the region.
