Obama virtually endorses Clinton as Democratic Prez nominee
But he added, “Frankly, I don’t think we can”.
But the enthusiasm for Sanders means that his message is resonating among the next generation of the Democratic party.
Sanders’ Minnesota stops come after a Democratic town hall in Iowa Monday, where he and candidate Hillary Clinton delivered “urgent, passionate pleas for supporters” ahead of the February 1 Iowa caucus, CNN reports.
Clinton’s answer to the question was Abraham Lincoln, jokingly apologizing to her husband and former president Bill Clinton and current president Barack Obama.
Clinton got some much-needed praise from President Obama in a Politico interview published on Monday, exactly a week before Iowans hold the nation’s first nominating contest for the November 8 election.
The event fell exactly a week before Iowans go to the caucuses, and as polls find Sanders narrowing the gap against Clinton among likely caucus-goers.
Clinton has been facing relentless attacks from Republicans over her use of a private email server when she was secretary of state and her handling of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi in which the USA ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, was killed.
With the Iowa caucus less than a week away, the US senator from Vermont talked more about Republican challenger Donald Trump than Sanders’ own primary opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. For some reason, Democrat women really, really believe America is a horribly oppressive and misogynistic country (could it be a liberal problem, since that’s who they surround themselves with?) and believe every word Ms. Clinton says about inequality. “And by the way I’m the one who is not the multi-billionaire”.
“You have to have somebody who is a proven, proven fighter”, Clinton said.
Clinton is introduced at the Jewish Federation of Greater Des Moines in Des Moines, Iowa, January 25, 2015.
“There have been a few elbows, but it has been relatively civil,”said Mo Elleithee, who worked on Clinton’s 2008 campaign and is now executive director of Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service”.
“This would be so unimaginable”, Sanders said. But I will tell you that in the last couple of months we have gained a whole lot of ground and, again, I think we stand a real chance to create a large voter turnout.
One of the more interesting moments of the Town Hall, was when Cuomo asked Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton to watch an ad from each other’s campaign.
