Sanders Hits Back at Clinton’s Claims That He Took Wall Street Money
Duggan will join other Detroit-area Democrats supporting Clinton’s candidacy at a 6 p.m. Tuesday opening of the new Detroit campaign office, according to the Clinton campaign.
On Saturday, Clinton said during a town hall meeting in Henniker that her proposals to address college affordability and to build upon Obama’s health care law were superior to Sanders’ approach. He reportedly labeled Sanders as “the champion of all things small and the enemy of all things big”.
“I haven’t just talked, I haven’t just given speeches”, said Clinton.
A recent CNN/WMUR poll shows Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders leading Hillary Clinton 58% to 35% in New Hampshire. The Democratic race, he wrote, could actually go longer than the Republicans’, as Democratic primaries award delegates on a proportional, not winner-take-all, basis. “The voters in New Hampshire and in America deserve a campaign that focuses on the real issues”. Clinton supporters have been subjected to “vicious trolling” and “attacks that are literally too profane often, not to mention sexist, to repeat”, Bill Clinton said.
The former president also hit out at the Sanders campaign for “looting information from our computers” – likening the episode to stealing a vehicle with the keys in the ignition – and sent a message to young voters, who polls have suggested now favor Sanders over Hillary Clinton by as much as two to one. The former president also has higher favorability ratings than his wife, and Sanders’ sky-high ratings have been an obstacle for the Clinton campaign in landing attacks on Sanders.
The Clinton campaign has increasingly injected gender and sex into the 2016 Democratic primaries.
What the polls say: Sanders has a double-digit lead in New Hampshire’s Democratic primary, beating Clinton in all but one of 40 polls taken this year. “This is about whether we can improve people’s lives”.
“When I think about what young people today have gone through, what they have known from our country, starting with a frightful attack on 9/11, going into the great recession, there is no wonder that they along with so many of us are saying, wait a minute, we are better than this, we can do more”, she said. Sanders has 56 percent of the vote to Clinton’s 40 percent.
Many of those plans would require tax increases on corporations, wealthy taxpayers and middle-class families a hard political sell for lawmakers of both parties.
