Speeches That Earned Clinton Millions Remain a Mystery

The tone of their back-and-forth has become increasingly sharp, and the candidates agreed to add four more debates to the primary season schedule, including Thursday’s faceoff in Durham. Jealous is expected to appear with Sanders in New Hampshire Friday (Feb. 5) and offer his endorsement.

The first one-on-one debate between the two candidates was hostile at times, especially after Clinton attacked Sanders for running what she deemed to be a negative narrative against her. South Carolina, a state that has a much more racially diverse electorate than Iowa and New Hampshire, seems to favor Clinton at least for now.

That’s right-Chelsea referred to Hillary’s rival (some might say archenemy) Bernie Sanders as “President Sanders”.

The change acknowledges the need to reach out to Sanders’ backers and comes at the same time that Clinton is calling for unity within the party and telling voters that the most important thing is that they beat Republicans in November.

“Let me be clear, I never gave up on the dream of universal health care – not for a second – and 8 million kids was certainly not everything I wanted, but it was real and I couldn’t bear the thought that we would leave children without health care even a single day longer than we had to”, she said.

“I’ve got their number”, she said, “the Wall Street guys”. In Iowa, Sanders got 19 percent more of the liberal vote than Clinton.

As for Sanders, he said he will not politicize the issue. Despite the tensions over policies, the debate ended on a warm note, when Mrs Clinton said the first person she would call would be Mr Sanders, if she won the nomination. CNN reported more than half of the 1,681 Democratic caucuses used a new Microsoft reporting app. Of those, there were exactly seven county delegates determined by coin flip.

Clinton hit the bricks Saturday in Manchester, going door-to-door to talk to potential voters.

Pressed by MSNBC moderator Chuck Todd on why he hasn’t accepted public financing in Thursday night’s debate, Sanders said the system as it exists now is “a disaster” and “very antiquated” because it limits spending in early-voting primary states.

New Hampshire is 95 per cent white, with blacks, Asians and Latinos combined making up the rest.

Her first question came from a young man who asked about how she responds to people who distrust her in light of controversies over the Benghazi attacks and her use of a private email server at the State Department. The victor of the Democratic contest will likely face one of Ted Cruz, Donald Trump or Marco Rubio, who finished in that order in the Iowa primaries.

“Well the good news for the Sanders campaign is that it’s the Obama coalition plus”, says Dante Scala, professor of political science at UNH, “Typically we see upscale democrats and working class democrats go different ways”.
