Hillary Clinton, Sanders’ closest rival to the Democratic presidency, is the most popular candidate among the Latino electorate despite her opponents’ attempts to woo them, The Huffington Post wrote.
Republican presidential candidates will also go head-to-head this month in an October. 28 debate hosted by CNBC at the University of Colorado. With limited preparation, Sanders is on the brink of pitch concepts similar to free college tuition, a single-payer health care system & a $15-an-hour minimum wage to the most noteworthy audiences of his 34-year political profession.
“He speaks from a certain kind of certainty, a declarative voice, steeped in a certain amount of outrage”, said Greg Guma, a liberal activist and journalist in Vermont whom then-Gov. He has had no-one playing Mrs Clinton in practice sessions, because there are no practice sessions. “One of the takeaways was: Don’t explain so much”.
“Maybe this is a little unorthodox, but I do believe there’s such a thing as being overprepared”, said Tad Devine, Mr Sanders’s chief strategist.
Bernie Sanders says he doesn’t attack people personally. “I happen to hate the message”. Sanders backed the 2005 legislation; Clinton did not.
“Oh, yes. You’ve got to accuse him of something”.
Sanders tapped into a groundswell of discontent over the economic stagnation of most Americans while the super rich cornered almost all the nation’s newly produced wealth. That, he said, will offer a contrast to the Republicans.
Which means that no matter what Mrs Clinton does, Tuesday night’s encounter will have an element of Las Vegas style roulette to it – with Mr Sanders, a rank outsider, enjoying slightly more favourable odds than he might otherwise have done.
Clinton’s team sees her time as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state as one of her strong suits, allowing her to talk about her foreign-policy experience. With Sanders the fiercer threat to Clinton, the super PAC coordinating with Clinton’s campaign, Correct the Record, no longer routinely sends a tracker to O’Malley’s events to record material to use against him. Clinton, who had previously been expected to easily win the nomination, has fallen in the polls in recent weeks – creating gains for Sanders and Vice President Joe Biden, who has not yet said whether he will run.
Bernie Sanders on Saturday called for an assault weapons ban in his second straight day of talking about an issue – guns – where he has sometimes deviated from the Democratic Party’s consensus. Supporters appear drawn to his natural undercurrent of agitation that funnels into honest passion for the socialist agenda he clearly holds dear.
On Wednesday President Obama’s former Secretary of State came out against her former boss’s Pacific trade agreement only two days after it was completed… However increased scrutiny over her email server and email use has been a drag on her campaign.
The leading contenders will not be the only ones on the stage Tuesday.

O’Malley in particular seems eager to capitalize on an opportunity that he described as “make or break” for his struggling campaign. Its first chairman was Sanders, who is now the only Senate member of the caucus. He has practiced a series of particular phrases during his months of campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire this year, including “new Americans” and “new leadership”.
