It was an unbelievable campaign.

“She’s coming across stronger”, said Gross, who attended a Clinton event Monday in her hometown of Oskaloosa, along with her daughter who is volunteering for the campaign. “I would love to see us do that, I hope we can”.
“It was my own question that I had submitted on Saturday night and directed towards any candidate”, Rosengren told US Uncut. “They chose that candidate to be Clinton”. “What Obama did in 2008 was extraordinary”.
In a statement issued last July, Clinton’s campaign confirmed that the former State secretary is suffering from hypothyroidism and allergies, adding that she is taking medication to treat an underactive thyroid.
With a week before the Iowa caucuses, Hillary Clinton and Sen. And as Obama was the first African-American president, Sanders would be the first Jewish one.
Eyeing Obama’s upset victory in Iowa eight years earlier, both candidates sought to soak up the president’s good graces. “He was unrealistic; his ideas were pie-in-the sky; he did not have the experience that was needed”.
“There’s no secret that we have, as is the case in a Democratic society, we have differences of opinion”, Sanders said. “People of Iowa saw through those attacks then, and they’re going to see through those attacks again”.
When Obama met for lunch with Clinton in December, the White House said the gathering lasted an hour-and-a-half – twice as long as the block for Sanders (though, like many of Obama’s meetings, the session could run long).
In a wide-ranging interview, Sanders called the notion that he must win Iowa’s caucuses against Hillary Clinton “mythology”, but appeared to lower expectations about his challenge to the Democratic front-runner in next Monday’s lead-off caucuses.
“The more people get to know Bernie the better they like him”, said Michael Briggs, a spokesman for the Sanders campaign.
Sanders has been clear that he needs a high turnout at the caucuses Monday, with many of his supporters being first-time caucusgoers.
His Oval Office session focused on domestic and foreign policy issues, Sanders said, explaining that Obama updated him on progress against the ISIS terrorist group and ongoing diplomacy with Iran.
At its core, the divide between Clinton and Sanders is about just how much to change current economic, health care and education systems, and what the federal government’s role in those areas should be. Clinton, meanwhile, registered support for her ability to handle individual issues and was considered to be more electable by a 39-point margin.
Sanders is aware of this theory. “You’ve got to do all aspects of the job”, Clinton said. But, she continued, “Once the election is over we must come together to work to solve the problems facing our country”. The race is “nip and tuck” close, he told the reporters huddled next to his bus. But don’t be surprised if it’s a little bit of 2008.

Clinton has been facing relentless attacks from Republicans over her use of a private email server when she was secretary of state and her handling of the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi in which the USA ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, was killed.
