-It was their first extended sit-down since Sanders launched himself into the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

But White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the president expected to stay out of the nomination contest, though he would vote by absentee ballot in the IL primary.
“If someone did that, didn’t show up at the interview, you know what you’d say?” He was careful not to refer to the ad as negative, instead emphasizing that it highlighted differences between the two candidates.
Trump has gone after Cruz on a variety of issues, including questioning whether he’s eligible for the ballot given his birth in Canada and calling him a “nasty” person who is not liked by anyone.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, like Mr. Sanders, supports socialist policies that would nationalize post-secondary education, among other free-market industries.
Lewandowski said Wednesday that Trump will instead spend his time with wounded veterans in Des Moines, Iowa. The president this week declared bluntly he doesn’t see Sanders’ upstart campaign as a reboot of his own battle against Clinton in 2008. “But if there is a large turnout, I think we win”. “It’s just that when women talk, some people think we’re shouting”.
The former secretary of state said she’s leveled with the American people, offering detailed plans on her website, explaining the costs and making clear she will not raise taxes. “And that’s what we hope will happen”.
The meeting with Obama has been on the books “for days”, Sanders’ spokesman Michael Briggs told CNN.
“Trump is positioned to run the house in these first three states. You and I do”.

But the fireworks Tuesday were on the Republican side.
With one week to go, the 2016 presidential candidates are opening their final push in Iowa.
Clinton’s rivals, Sanders and Martin O’Malley, have long accused the Democratic National Committee of trying to help Clinton, the front-runner, when creating a schedule that called for later and less frequent debates.
Clinton has now changed her tune and is calling on the DNC to sanction the extra debate.
Sanders has also expanded his lead over Clinton in New Hampshire, while Trump continues to lead the GOP field there, according new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls released Thursday morning. “But other elements of the establishment, even if they are not supportive of my candidacy, today understand that the major task in front of us is to defeat right-wing extremism”.

“It seems like power is always trumping principle”, Obama said as he campaigned for Sanders in 2006. Many journalists can’t resist lumping Trump and Sanders together as rabble-rousing outliers.
