US Election 2016: Hillary Clinton questions Bernie Sanders’ devotion to Democrats
Barack Obama. Now, Clinton could be in danger of losing it all to Vermont Sen. When AP did this in November, before any primary or caucus votes had been tallied, Clinton led Sanders 359-8 in pledged support, meaning her already substantial margin at the nominating convention has grown from 426 to 351.
Sanders used the talks with the civil rights leaders to condemn Senate Republicans for their refusal to hold a vote on Obama’s forthcoming Supreme Court nominee, blasted what he said were GOP voter suppression efforts and decried economic conditions for African-Americans.
The following video shows one of Sanders’ highlights from the same Town Hall. Six back Clinton and two are uncommitted. This stretch of counties is mostly rural and some of the least populated in the state.
Both candidates faced tough questions about immigration, race, and veteran’s issues in both English and Spanish.
Sanders is the only candidate in either party who’s viewed as compassionate, honest and likable by at least half of registered voters, giving him a significant advantage over Clinton among all voters on each of those measures.
Clinton shouldn’t count out a one-trick pony, according to Scarborough. All three women argue that Clinton is the best choice for women’s health care. Seventy-two percent now believe he could win the general election, a 21 percentage point increase from the last time the survey was conducted in December.
At a recent speech in Harlem, Clinton rolled out a litany of proposals. But she ultimately defeated Obama in the Nevada caucuses.
“You don’t want a streak”, said another Democratic official with ties to the Clintons. The former Secretary of State barely eked out a victory over the self-styled democratic socialist in the Iowa Caucuses, he blew her doors off in the New Hampshire primary and may be gaining on her in SC, which holds its primary on February 27. Clinton again criticized Sanders for voting against an immigration reform bill in 2007.
Clinton responded, “I am happy to release anything I have when everybody else does the same”. She said he can not return for four more years. “Sanders listens”, says NAACP Champlain Area President, Mary Brown-Guillory. Sanders is running hard to capture the votes of rank and file members even as their leadership joins the Clinton bandwagon.
Time will tell whether this activism has its intended effect, and if Clinton hangs on, it’ll be a moot point.

That’s why in order not to repeat the 2008 scenario, Clinton would have to win Clark County, Washoe County and the rural, desert precincts in the north.
KEITH: Both campaigns criticized their opponents for past remarks about immigration, votes taken, positions changed. Clinton has a narrower five-point edge over Trump: 47-42 percent.
