Sanders eager to take on billionaire opponents
The 2016 caucuses will be “a bit of a milestone” for Maegan Sonksen. Clinton has been gaining the support of influential women in leading roles across the country and these women are proud to endorse the former New York Senator.
According to the CBS News “Battleground Tracker” survey, released on Sunday, Sanders has a 1 point lead over Clinton, 47 to 46 percent.
“He can attract independents that the Republicans need if they think they are going to be successful, but also because he can appeal to the Republican base”, said Lynn Hicks, the Register’s opinion editor.
“While in the Senate she introduced eight different bills to expand healthcare and reproductive healthcare access”, Richards said.
As Sanders told a crowd at a rally in Maquoketa, Iowa on Saturday night, millions of people across the country are increasingly frustrated and fed up with the status quo.
Since then, though, she has spent much more time on her own record, drawing only implicit contrasts with Sanders. “The people of Iowa know that a lot of those attacks are coming from a super PAC funded by Wall Street money and the people of Iowa are not going to accept that, I believe”.
Sanders, meanwhile, has suggested that Clinton is the product of a political system that marginalises the middle class. He’s been particularly biting in highlighting the high-dollar speaking fees she received from the same big Wall Street banks he wants to break up.
Many more people show up to vote in a traditional primary than participate in a caucus, but the size of the electorate is not the only difference between these two institutions.
“He’s held the same platform all of his life”.
The CNN/WMUR New Hampshire Primary Poll, sponsored by WMUR-TV and CNN, and conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, randomly surveyed New Hampshire adults and found 420 who indicated that they meant to vote in the Democratic Presidential primary on February 9th. Is that what is being hidden from the public, by not forcing Clinton to express her true worldview instead of the far-left pitch that Sanders embodies? Trump said. “I can hit him, I have stuff in mind”.
Still, Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs said he was confident in the “enthusiastic workers and volunteers”. He’s consistently led in preference polls in New Hampshire, which borders his home state of Vermont. “I think it’s gonna be very close in Iowa and New Hampshire and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Bernie won both states”. He would win by 14, Sanders said. For example, the editorial board praised Vermont Democratic Sen. Ted Cruz by 4 points, but Sanders winning by 5. He mentions at every campaign event that his average campaign contribution is $27.
SANDERS: My reaction is two things.
The Clinton campaign has not offered an official staffing number in the state in several months, but it is now well above the 78 paid people they said they had back in September. “We are taking on the economic establishment, we’re taking on the political establishment, and with all due respect, we are taking on the media establishment”.
This is the second poll in a row that shows Sanders ahead in Iowa.
“What this campaign is about is transforming America”, he said. “And he never will, and he never will, and he never will, but that’s OK, because we have to do something folks, because it’s not working”, he added. “That is what this campaign is about”.
