Key Clinton Ally: ‘Black Lives Don’t Matter’ To Bernie Sanders

“That is like asking the arsonist to be the firefighter”. “Now I know that Senator Sanders cares about covering more people, as I do”. Rather than build on the progress we’ve made, he wants to start over from scratch with a whole new system.

By putting Sullivan in front of the camera-and on a conference call with reporters Thursday afternoon to discuss the video-the campaign frees Clinton from mounting this attack herself and coming across as excessively critical of her popular opponent. “In theory, there are a lot of things to like about his ideas”.

After weeks of trading leads in similar polls this fall, Sanders has pulled ahead in the most recent surveys of the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, threatening Clinton’s one-time lock on the nomination.

“He’s been in the Congress for 25”.

Clinton’s pivot to foreign policy may appear to be a smart move – after all, it should be her strongest issue. “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”.

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. For example, he has suggested that we invite Iranian troops into Syria.

“That would be like inviting one of the arsonists to join the firefighters”, Sullivan said.

Clinton’s campaign is anxious about a split among female voters.

“We are concerned that Sen”. But adds that Sanders’ ideas on national security issues “just don’t make sense”.

Sanders did not specifically mention his 60-33 percent lead over Clinton in a new CNN/WMUR poll in the Granite State perhaps in a sign that both campaigns view the results to be an outlier.

Her friend, Jamie Pritzker, 20, who says she’s between Sanders and Clinton, also dismissed Lovato as having any impact on her vote, but did admit the singer’s appearance was a factor in why she attended the event.

“No. They aren’t. They’re standing up and fighting the important fights that have to be fought”, he said. “The President doesn’t believe that, I don’t believe that, and I think Senator Sanders is wrong about that”.
