“I’ll tell you, I’m not interested in ideas that sound good on paper but will never make it in the real world”, Clinton said, drawing applause from more than 500 voters at Simpson College. Tim Kaine of Virginia, a former party chairman, and Tony Goldwyn, star of the hit series “Scandal”, is jetting to all corners of this state to help Clinton erase her enthusiasm deficit to Sen.
Sanders then listed Republican candidates that he would beat in New Hampshire in November, according to the WMUR/CNN poll that showed Sanders would beat any of the leading GOP candidates.
-Analysts say Clinton may be pushing the gun issue more in New Hampshire as a way to distinguish herself from Bernie Sanders, who leads in polls in the state.
The reason – Iowa Democrats may be turning against Clinton. It’s an issue Clinton has recently used in attacks against her opponent, painting Sanders with an irresponsible record on firearm legislation while in Congress.
Clinton said she wants to reinforce the Affordable Care Act, for example, while Sanders has proposed a single-payer insurance system.
The survey from CNN/ORC shows Mr. Sanders, who was trailing Mrs. Clinton significantly in early December, erasing her lead and overtaking her. Likely Democratic caucusgoers now back the Vermont senator over Mrs. Clinton by eight percentage points, 51 percent to 43 percent.
Sanders spoke to students at Southern New Hampshire University.
“Her diehard supporters are feeling confident, but inside the campaign there is concern as much that she could lose to Sanders in Iowa and/or New Hampshire as what a long protracted, costly battle with Sanders could mean throughout the spring”.
“I think she’s a smart lady and I think she has a lot of experience and she could really do a lot of great things for us”, she said.
Just a few months ago, who would have thought that the race for the Democratic nomination would be anything but a blowout?
“I think it would be a mistake to offer normalized relations”, Clinton said, saying her commitment to the Iran nuclear deal is strong.
Winning the support of this key demographic has proved to be a problem for Clinton, 68.
