Sanders aide fires back at Clinton gun record

“Between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, only one candidate has a consistent record fighting against the gun lobby to prevent gun violence. Obama was there, he voted against it. And Sanders voted for it”, Clinton said of the liability bill in a meeting with the Des Moines Register’s editorial board Monday.

The Democratic presidential race is tightening just weeks before the Iowa caucuses, renewing the sense among some Democrats that Bernie Sanders could sweep the first two voting states and challenge Hillary Clinton over the long haul.

And Sanders leads Clinton in electability: the NBC poll showed Sanders beating Donald Trump by 13 points in Iowa and 19 points in New Hampshire, while Clinton led Trump by 8 points in Iowa and edged him out by 1 point in New Hampshire.

But on Monday, she widened her health care critique to include Sanders, saying he would “rip up” the law and put power in the hands of states. In that poll, conducted from January 2-7, Clinton’s lead in Iowa among likely caucus-goers had shrunk to just 3 percentage points. The last ARG poll of New Hampshire, Dec. 23, showed Clinton leading Sanders 46-43. Biden and Obama have not endorsed, and Obama’s chief of staff has said the president won’t take sides in the primary.

Clinton, who served as Obama’s Secretary of State, said that she would not offer a blanket deportation rule, and that each case should be determined individually.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton Monday contrasted herself from Republicans her closest Democratic primary competitor while speaking to a crowd of 300 at Electric Park Ballroom.

The majority of the surveyed millennials – a generation commonly defined as having been born in the 1980s or 1990s – indicated they plan to vote in the November general election. Our previous Democratic president, Bill Clinton, did endorse Al Gore earlier, though, and that might be what’s setting some tongues wagging. White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough told Meet the Press on Sunday the president will not endorse a Democratic nominee until he or she has been chosen by the party. The Democratic presidential frontrunner’s campaign stops are, too. Even if Sanders’s success only endures through early February, they say, he has made a lasting impression on the race.

“I think it’s time for us to have the kind of spirited debate that you deserve us to have”, Clinton said, adding, “Again, we’re so much better than the Republicans, but we do have differences, and you deserve to know what those differences are”.
