If anything, it turns them off. “Politician” is a dirty word to most Americans, and “practical progressive” just reeks of the very sort of characterless political pandering Clinton’s critics hate about her. At the December 19 Democratic debate, Clinton was asked whether corporate America should love her.

“I am proud to be running in a Democratic primary with my opponents”.
Warren’s positive acknowledgment of Sanders’ strategy served as a reminder of their shared progressive brand of politics and her continued influence in shaping the Democratic Party’s policies regarding banking and housing. “But your choice in the caucus really matters”.
And while Sanders has been able to fire up young and apolitical people, he’s had a harder time exciting African-Americans and other minorities, who will be crucial to any Democrat’s chances of winning the general election in November.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Just about out of time. But Nevada is also a state where a show of strength for Clinton could effectively dash Sanders’s hopes of winning the nomination even if he has a stronger than expected showing in Iowa, or wins in New Hampshire.
He, Clinton and O’Malley all share the goal of defeating Republicans and “right-wing extremism”, Sanders said. The Vermont senator said he would direct the secretary of the Treasury Department to create a list of “too big to fail” banks in the first 100 days of his presidency-and then break up those institutions within the first year.
“The only way that Democrats win elections is when we have a large voter turnout”, Sanders said at a Las Vegas dinner Wednesday, as his raucous supporters blasted air horns and blew into yellow vuvuzelas. “He seems the most real out of all of them”.
Hillary Clinton maintains a double-digit lead over Bernie Sanders among California Democrats in the presidential primary, virtually unchanged from October, according to a new poll.
But O’Malley, despite a more polished speech than past Democratic events, was largely an afterthought.
Gensler’s missive got the attention of Sanders, who devoted a big chunk of his speech on Tuesday to rebutting the Clinton campaign’s argument.
O’Malley said that any of the Republican candidates running for president would “take us backward” and he, like Clinton, put the onus on Nevadans.
“If I thought that alone would prevent the potential next crisis, I would raise my hand and join”, Clinton said at a town hall in New Hampshire. She began organizing and campaigning here earlier and with greater intensity than Sanders.

“I want to help families do the work that they’re already doing but which is so difficult” in taking care of family members, Clinton said at a campaign stop in Sioux City, Iowa. “I think they needed to be guided”. A small coterie held aloft a rainbow H for Hillary, but as Born in the U.S. played the candidates in, again, the chants of Sanders’ supporters drowned out the others. “We continue to believe Clinton would be one of the better candidates for financial firms, as she is pushing concrete reforms where one can understand the downside risk rather than more radical overhauls”, the firm wrote, in a statement that undoubtedly warmed the heart of the Sanders high command. She responded by stating that she has “just as much passion as reflected in her proposal to deal with the financial industry”; she also vowed not to raise taxes on households making less than $250,000 annually.
