Young voter confronts Hillary Clinton: People my age say you’re ‘dishonest’
President Barack Obama said in interview published Monday that his former rival-turned-secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, faces both the “privilege and burden” of being the Democratic front-runner for president.
Rejecting Mrs Clinton’s charges that he is not prepared to be commander-in- chief, Mr Sanders aimed to show he was more closely aligned with the Democratic base and to contrast his positions with Mrs Clinton’s on issues on which she has pivoted. She volunteers night and day for Sanders at his headquarters in a crowded strip mall on the north side of Des Moines. You know, why is it that we should be scared to challenge conventional wisdom and talk bluntly about inequality and, you know, be full-throated in our progressivism? Sanders said in order to make this nation a social democracy that wages war against the rich, he wants to bring back “the era of big government”, and cause government spending to increase about 10 times the amount the government planned to spend on ObamaCare. It’s a subtle dig at Clinton, who he’s been trying to paint as the status quo.

“Obama in 2008 ran a campaign which is really going to stay in the history books”, Sanders explained to reporters on the campaign trail in Iowa on Monday while continuing to argue that higher turnout favors his campaign.
“If the general election came down to (Republican Donald) Trump and myself and if Bloomberg made a decision to jump in, two of the three candidates would be multi-billionaires”, Sanders said in an interview with The Associated Press.
“Even if you’re thinking about another candidate, the simple reality is there’s only one campaign that can beat Trump in this state”, said Cruz. Sanders has been closing the gap on Clinton in recent polls. The town hall was no exception, with Sanders hitting Wall Street hard for “greed” and “recklessness”.
“A lot of young people are turned off by politicians because they don’t exactly tell the truth all the time and flip flop around the issues”, Gray said. “I doubt it will be as high as 2008 was, but I think that it will be high enough for us to win in Iowa”.
Mr Obama’s comments came as Mr Trump’s immigration-bashing stance seems to be setting the agenda for other aspiring Republican presidential candidates. “I think what Hillary presents is a recognition that translating values into governance and delivering the goods is ultimately the job of politics”.
