Clinton’s response to Sanders has some Democrats worried

And you can expect to hear these lines again, especially if you watch TV in Iowa or New Hampshire because her campaign was filming to make an ad.

Jae C. Hong/AP In New Hampshire, Sanders is handily beating Hillary Clinton, who had for months been seen as the party’s undisputed front-runner for the nomination.

A day after new polling showed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders with a big lead in New Hampshire, a CNN/ORC poll finds Sanders pulling ahead in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in Iowa, too.

The new CNN New Hampshire poll was conducted before Sunday’s debate in SC when Sanders turned in a feisty performance that had many pundits declaring him the outright victor.

But Clinton has aired more than 740 gun-control spots in the state, 24 percent of her more-than-3,000 ads between December 18 and January 18. She says this would keep refugees safe from ISIS and the Al-Assad regime. Tam, does Hillary Clinton have any big names with her right now? “He is just so new”, she said of Sanders.

Thursday, Clinton made clear she is gearing up for the fight – adding a new section to her speech focused on Sanders’ foreign policy.

“He has suggested that we invite Iranian troops into Syria”, Clinton said.

“I think he’s riding a wave of anger that is very deep, frustration is very deep in the working class Americans”, Gergen said of Trump.

Secret donors target Hillary in ads: USA Today reports a nonprofit group that relies on anonymous contributions has been running ads targeting Hillary Clinton, in what organizers say will be a seven-figure campaign during this year’s election season.

The campaign also released a video on Thursday featuring Sullivan explaining the fundamental misunderstandings that Sanders’ proposals show and the inherent dangers they would pose.

Seared by her experience in 2008 when she finished a discomfiting third in Iowa’s Democratic presidential caucuses, the 2016 Clinton campaign early on built a state-of-the-art, door-to-door ground-game organization created to mirror the Obama juggernaut that foiled her eight years ago.

But, she said, she’s still considering caucusing for Sanders.

Others in the audience, including a handful of Sanders supporters, said young voters are looking for someone who doesn’t waver, and they believe Sanders is that candidate. A campaign supporter in Carroll used a Robert Frost poem to introduce the senator, urging supporters to make sure Sanders’ “road less traveled” takes him to the White House. Clinton said that she instead wants to strengthen the Affordable Care Act.

But the loyal Democrats I spoke with also wished there was more passion in Clinton’s appeal to go along with the pragmatism.

Donald Trump holds a commanding lead in Iowa as Sen. The New York Times noted that in the past few weeks, Sanders’ support among women rose from 29 percent to 39 percent. He mocked Sanders, claiming that his allies are “coming over to me” because he’s lowering taxes while Sanders will raise them. “If you want somebody who is going to beat Trump and going to beat other Republicans, I think Bernie Sanders is that candidate”.
