Fallon wanted the Democratic presidential candidate to explain when and whether she has any time to sleep.

However, Clinton maintains her lead among black voters, who have been a reliable base for both the former New York Senator and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, often dubbed”America’s first black president”.
“People don’t have a long memory, but Bernie’s doing his best to remind them”, said Roger Hickey, a co-director of the liberal Campaign for America’s Future. Gun control has emerged as a central theme in the race, with Clinton citing it as one of the major differences between the candidates. Considering this, her advisers should improve the strength of the campaign’s data modeling and turnout assumptions in Iowa, otherwise, the risk of dealing with a situation similar to the one from 2008, when she lost against Barack Obama, is very big.
The next Democratic debate is this Sunday. Most troubling to Clinton supporters is that it has disappeared more quickly than the lead she held over then-U.S. Sen.
“Don’t talk to me about standing up to corporate interests and big powers”, Clinton said of Sanders in Ames. Bernie Sanders announced his support for legislation that would reverse a 2005 law granting gun manufacturers legal immunity that he once supported.
Clinton laughs at Fallon’s claim that she’s “dodging the [Republican] debates”, admitting that she “love(s) to be able to fast-forward”. It begins with the Iowa caucus on February 1, followed by the New Hampshire primary on February 9, and a number of early votes through March.
Sanders added that he would push for an amendment that would require the Secretary of Commerce to monitor the impact of the measure on “non-negligent” gun dealers in rural communities.
“He carries a message of peace and prosperity under his presidency and I think a lot of Americans would like to get back to those days”, Clinton said in an interview on NBC’s “Today Show” on Wednesday.
Bloomberg reporter Mark Halperin said Friday that Hillary Clinton’s campaign is “in danger” if she can’t find an effective line of attack against her surging competitor, Sen.
Clinton said she does have a great deal of respect for Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley as her opponents for the presidential nomination, but knows what it will take to do all parts of the presidency.
The question for Sanders is whether he can expand his support beyond the white voters who dominate the first two contests in Iowa and New Hampshire. “A hundred dollars a day – Why didn’t you say something?”

When asked if she was anxious about the recent polls showing Sanders edging Clinton out in early states, she admitted it was “a tight race” but she said that polls at this point are “artificial”.
