Money, women and votes: Rattled Clinton supporters lash out at Sanders
“I respect all the work she’s done as well as the experience she has”, Fagan said. A single digit loss would allow Clinton to use the same comeback narrative that Bernie Sanders employed after his near loss in Iowa. “You’re just for me or against me”, Clinton said and the crowd laughed.
Two days before voters in New Hampshire will cast ballots, Clinton traveled to Flint, Michigan, on Sunday to address the city’s water crisis, vowing to make a “personal commitment” to help the city’s residents deal with contaminated water. “I want you to laugh, because when you’re mad you can’t think”. “I don’t want anybody, anybody, who is engaged in sexism to support me”, he said in a NBC interview on Sunday night. “The New Hampshire I knew would not have voted for me if I had done that”, Politico reported.
A Quiniipiac survey released on Friday was the first to show that Bernie Sanders (pictured) had caught up with Hillary Clinton in national polls. She said Wall Street was spending millions to defeat her.
The former president’s more aggressive attacks of Sanders started over the weekend, where he suggested that the Vermont senator was a hypocrite on the issue of campaign finance and called into question Sanders’ honesty.
“When you’re young, you’re thinking, ‘Where are the boys?’ The boys are with Bernie”, she said.
If the polls and prediction markets hold up, Clinton could blunt the momentum that Sanders would gain from a win in New Hampshire on Tuesday.
Still, New Hampshire is known as a “late-deciding” state, where voters take their time and often meet candidates on multiple occasions before finally making their choice. Sadly, the Sanders campaign has pushed that theme repeatedly, forcing the unspoken character smear into the public consciousness. He told the story of a female “progressive” blogger who defended Mrs. Clinton online through a pseudonym because, he said, the vitriol from Mr. Sanders’s backers was so unrelenting.
Since getting in trouble for making aggressive remarks about then-opponent Barack Obama in 2008, Clinton has toned down his rhetoric when stumping for Hillary.
Although he didn’t explicitly name the “Bernie Bros”, Sanders himself had previously denounced the group of misogynists.
An aide to the former president told MSNBC that Bill Clinton’s sharper tone was in response to Sanders escalating his own attacks on Clinton’s integrity and Wall Street ties, to which he took offense.
At a campaign event in New Hampshire on Sunday, Slick Willy implied you shouldn’t vote for Bernie Sanders because some of his supporters have said mean things about Hillary and her supporters online.
