Democratic Party presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton posted a massive $37 million raised for her campaign in the last quarter of 2015, a week later her campaign is saying they don’t have enough money to compete with Senator Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., speaks during a campaign event, at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2016.

“They didn’t come in doing big rallies”, said Jeff Link, a Democratic strategist in Iowa.
Clinton comes into this contest with significant advantages. And as Sanders prepared to detail his own proposals on Clinton’s home turf Tuesday, her campaign launched an unusual pre-emptive attack by releasing an aggressive statement from her chief financial officer, Gary Gensler, a former top regulator at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Clinton still maintains a commanding lead in the polls, but signs are emerging that she may not be in as strong a position in the state as she would like.
All three candidates lashed out at the Republican Party, and each made his or her case for president. “Because you are the first line of defense”. “The message is that Hillary Clinton is the most electable Democrat”.
Katrina Brown, a union electrician from north Las Vegas, said that she had also been impressed by O’Malley’s speech, and that he had come across as “someone who gets things done”.
The poll was conducted from December 16 to January 3 among 1,003 registered voters, 329 of whom are considered likely to vote in the state’s June Democratic presidential primary election.
“I’d like to say that Donald Trump is the most outrageous and unqualified person ever to run for president, but really that’s not fair to Ted Cruz”, he said. Now, she has for months pitched herself as more accessible in this key early voting state as she tries to fend off her rivals in the Democratic primary, Sen.
Sanders’ supporters were by far the noisiest and most vocally enthusiastic from long before the candidates emerged. At one point, campaign organizers walked through the aisles gesturing with a finger to the mouth that supporters should express their disagreement with Clinton silently. I think we can do that. “If Wall Street does not end its greed, we will end it for them”.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest says if Sanders captures the nomination the president will “have to examine his record”. “We will not succeed unless we galvanize the American people”. Clinton’s policies, he said, would do little more than “impose a few more fees and regulations”.
Sanders is now running for president. That was a not-so-subtle jab at Sanders, who has proposed moving to a single-payer system. She said she found the process “disorganized”. He also declared that he plans to break up the major financial institutions within one year of taking office. Free public college and university tuition.
Still, Sanders used his speech Tuesday to put Wall Street on notice. Compared to before the crash of 2008, the biggest banks in the country are larger than ever, he said, adding, “if a bank is too big to fail, it is too big to exist”. Both Sanders and Warren are pushing for a return of the Glass-Steagall Act, a now-repealed law that created a firewall between traditional and investment banking.
According to a study published by the New York Times, wealthy individuals and corporations have begun to replace powerless people as direct beneficiaries of the U.S. political system and the Constitution.

O’Malley also spoke out against a new wave of deportation raids that the Obama administration has launched against migrant families from Central America.
