McCaskill: ‘Absolutely impossible’ for Sanders to win key swing states
But one veteran of her husband’s administration is dismayed with her campaign and considering throwing his support to Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
Recent public opinion polls also show Sanders leading potential Republican candidates by a larger margin than Hillary’s matchups. But more than his left-wing ideology, it is his persistent calls for a “revolution” upending conventional politics that has brought him neck-and-neck with Mrs. Clinton in Iowa and ahead in New Hampshire, the first states to vote in the fight for the Democratic nomination. Clinton won New Hampshire in 2008.
“I am leaning more toward Bernie but I have never heard anything that Hillary has to say besides the debates”, Sigmund said.
Clinton’s campaign is anxious about a split among female voters.
The uptick in rhetoric comes in the final days of the Iowa campaign.
The latest polls may be cause for concern but Hillary Clinton is planning on going forward “with confidence” and she’s enlisted some high-wattage help along the way.
And caucuses scheduled in March and April in states like Maine, Colorado and Wyoming could favor Sanders.
Asked why Republicans are putting out supportive statements about him, Sanders said: “I don’t know that they are putting out supportive statements about me, but I think at the end of the day, we stand a much better chance of defeating Republicans”.
Clinton said as she did in her early political years in Arkansas, she wants to place more emphasis on education and raise the minimum wage, and then focus on Wall Street. “Admission is first-come, first-served”.
The second ad about foreign policy pits Sanders’ vote against the Iraq War against Clinton’s vote for it.
A flurry of polls released this week in advance of the Iowa caucuses showed it could be a tight race among the Republican presidential hopefuls.
After performing her hit song “Confident”, Lovato told the crowd of mostly college students she didn’t think there was “a woman more confident than Hillary Clinton”.
“Sen. Sanders has been in Congress for 25 years”, she said. “But normal relations with Iran right now?”
“Their support for terrorism, the anti-American rhetoric that we’re hearing from some of their leadership is something that is unacceptable”, Sanders said. “They’ve made the assessment that Marco can’t win this race, and the Washington establishment is rushing over to support Donald Trump”, he said.
