Trump Strong in Three Early States as Clinton and Sanders Battle

It leaves it to viewers to make the connection to Clinton, which given the headlines and Sanders’ more-direct references at the Democratic debates, they surely will. In other words, it’s a classic primary-campaign ad. I have no idea who said this.

Ted Cruz briefly challenged the front-runner for first place in Iowa, one of the race’s earliest primaries, Trump seems to have recovered a lead well outside the margin of error, according to most of the surveys released in the past week. The Clintons say Sanders’ call for a single-payer universal health care system is unrealistic. Over the course of her 15-year political career, Hillary Clinton has received tens of millions in campaign donations from people in the finance, insurance and real estate industries. The 2010 Dodd-Frank law that came out of the crisis took care of that, she says.

D’Alessandro said the campaign has also had to deal with the fact that Clinton has run in Iowa before, even if she lost badly in 2008. “These were rules, I had nothing to do with, established by the DNC, which most people perceived to be sympathetic to her. Now she’s falling apparently behind in New Hampshire and wants to change the rules”, Sanders told CNN Thursday.

“I really like Hillary”.

Many say they’ve been impressed by the number of candidates making their way to our area and could not be more appreciative of the significance Iowa holds in the election process.

Karl said he used to be a student, if not a journalism one.

Meanwhile Friday, the Obama administration confirmed for the first time that Clinton’s unsecured home server contained closely guarded government secrets, censoring 22 emails with material requiring one of the highest levels of classification. Instead, Nancy Pelosi has led the House Democrats to three straight calamitous losses (2010, 2012, 2014) to the Republicans, for whom public cruelties toward the powerless is a matter of principle. Clinton and the audience cheered and she shook his hand, telling him, “Thank you, Bernie”.

Those gains evaporated after Republican George W. Bush gained the presidency, slashed taxes on the rich and ripped away regulations on the financial sector, she said.

Almost 160,000 online supporters have helped raise money for Sanders’ campaign, and even organized phone banks to mobilize voters. “Maybe in the future”. He has vowed not to run a negative campaign, but has drawn sharp contrasts with Clinton on an array of issues, from the Keystone XL pipeline, the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal and Clinton’s Wall Street ties, including her acceptance of speaking fees from Goldman Sachs. They are opposed to endless war and, therefore, while Hillary believes foreign policy is her strong suit, her positions are not attractive to large parts of the party base. “It is not a spectator sport”, Sanders said.

Obama has officially stayed neutral in a contest in which both candidates would love to generate the same kind of enthusiasm that Obama did in 2008, producing a record-setting turnout on caucus night. Unlike Clinton, who ramped up staffing in the state last spring, Sanders’ organization expanded more slowly. Karl again asked if she thought she would win and what it would take, but Clinton went on taking pictures and talking to fans on the rope line. Her voice a little ragged from campaigning, she championed abortion rights and called for raising the minimum wage and guaranteeing women are paid the same as men for the same work. But after months of dominating polls, she is in a tough race against Vermont Sen. “The children, do they have a brighter future and instead of falling apart are things coming together”, said Clinton. “Some country is going to be the clean energy superpower. And I think he’s doing a great job of that”. “I want it to be us”.

When supporters are passionate about a candidate, they talk with family and friends about the campaign.
