Trump Says Skipping Fox News Debate “Could” Have Hurt Him in Iowa

Scott Brown at rally in New Hampshire Tuesday night. But Clinton outlined what their argument might be. You’ve got to have a record of getting results.

And New Hampshire will be a two-person tussle with Democrat Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders finishing in a virtual tie. “I can not even imagine not being here”.

The Democratic National Committee is sanctioning the televised debate in Flint, which Clinton sought so she can continue highlighting the city’s lead-contaminated water crisis.

By day’s end, Kasich seemed reenergized, buoyed by a sense that perhaps his 91st town hall might do the trick.

Clinton stressed her commitment to campaigning in New Hampshire, while acknowledging that Sanders is leading the polls.

Still, Sanders faces significant challenges when the Democratic nominating contest moves to the more diverse states of Nevada and SC before expanding to 11 states on March 1, “Super Tuesday”, including seven in the South where Clinton’s advantage with African-American voters could begin to pay off.

For the two Democratic candidates, the decision to compete in Florida is easier because their delegates will be awarded on a proportional basis in each of the state’s 27 congressional districts. Though Clinton is now the favorite among Florida Democrats, especially party leaders, there are stirrings of a Sanders upsurge here led by grassroots progressives and young voters.

“Clinton is struggling to overcome issues of trust and a scandal involving her use of a private email server while Secretary of State”. O’Malley suspended his campaign on Monday night following the turnout in Iowa. His campaign announced the endorsement of South Carolina Sen.

New Hampshire’s sizable contingent of independent voters – who are allowed to vote in either the Democratic or Republican primaries – will wield considerable power in the 2016 race.

While the race in Iowa had tightened in recent weeks, her aides had appeared to draw some confidence from a Des Moines Register/Bloomberg politics poll over the weekend that showed Clinton with a three-percentage-point lead over Sanders among likely caucus-goers.

“While Senator Rubio is a tremendous political talent, he is not the best choice to serve as Commander-in-Chief”, they wrote, adding, “Take it from the people who know Marco and Jeb best. And I hope you will choose with both your heart and your mind”.

Clinton supporters are also anxious that the campaign is still struggling with a muddled message, a problem that plagued her not only in the opening months of this campaign but also in her failed 2008 White House bid. But several others are calling the New Hampshire primary a do-or-die moment, and in a still-crowded Republican field, Saturday’s primetime GOP debate may represent the last chance for candidates to make their pitch, and inflict damage on their opponents.

Jim Demers, Obama’s 2008 New Hampshire co-chair and a noted gambler, offered this when asked if he would bet on Clinton: “First of all, I am a betting man. Second, I would look at the odds”.

“He and I are conservatives for the same reason. I know well that New Hampshire voters decide late”. Lodge was from neighboring MA.

“Historically, a win is important for another reason, too”.
