Nate Silver: Donald Trump More Likely Nominee Than Bernie Sanders

While the event featured candidates Hillary Clinton, Martin O’Malley and Bernie Sanders, supporters of Clinton and Sanders dominated the room. Warren, who is credited as the architect of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, declined efforts by some supporters to enter the 2016 presidential race and has refused to offer any endorsement of the current candidates for the party’s nomination.

“I am proud to be running in a Democratic primary with my opponents”. In his speech, Sanders said that he will address “institutionalized greed” by breaking up institutions that, should they fail, would send shockwaves through the economy without a bailout footed by taxpayers. “But your choice in the caucus really matters”. “On February 20th, you will begin the process of choosing a president who has what it takes to stand up to the Republicans”.

If the June primary were held today, 46 percent of likely voters would pick the former secretary of state, USA senator and first lady, while 35 percent would vote for Sanders, a US senator from Vermont who bills himself as a Democratic socialist.

In closing, Senator Sanders has never used a tampon, as far as I know. Supporters revved up their engines as they waited for Hillary Clinton, Martin O’Malley and Bernie Sanders to speak, cheering for their candidates, and even booing their rivals on occasion.

“I’d like to say that Donald Trump is the most outrageous and unqualified person ever to run for president, but really that’s not fair to Ted Cruz”, he said. “Will the folks at Wall Street like me?”

The gulf between the Sanders and Clinton support was very visible. But voters here haven’t had much exposure to either candidate, and a big win by Sanders in an early voting state could shake things up.

But O’Malley, despite a more polished speech than past Democratic events, was largely an afterthought.

Clinton’s attempts to reach out to Sanders supporters in the crowd of 2,200 drew some to their feet to hold up pro-Sanders signs in silent protest, while others were more vocal in their disapproval. Clinton’s supporters waved their now-common blue glow sticks, while Sanders’ backers blew air-horns and hummed into vuvuzelas, the horns that became known for their annoying buzz during the 2010 World Cup.

Touring through New Hampshire and Iowa, Clinton stressed her experience and her ability to hit the ground running if she were to win in November.

Hillary Clinton wants you to know that she won’t need a “tour of the White House” if she wins the presidency, warning again and again that a Republican in the Oval Office would derail everything the Democrats have achieved.

Clinton says that “by having a block on the corporate inversions would help reduce tax evasions by financial giant companies which will contribute towards a healthy financial system”.

This comments annoyed Sanders aides – and the candidate.

If Sanders plans to break up large “shadow banks”, does that mean they don’t need the additional regulations and reporting requirements that Clinton is proposing?

“We will not succeed as a nation unless tens of millions of people, many of whom have given up on the political process…who no longer have faith in Washington, many of whom no longer vote”, he said, “if we are not able to bring those people, working people, young people, low income people back into the political process, we will not be able to transform America and create a government that works for all of us”.
