The Hillary Clinton campaign on Thursday continued its pushback against Bernie Sanders’ stance on Iran and the war against ISIS as an issue for concern in the Democratic presidential primary. Sanders has also been emphasizing his eagerness to reduce income inequality, increase the minimum wage and take on big corporate interests, as he argues that he would be more aggressive and reliable in pushing for those goals than Clinton would be.

Meanwhile, both the HRC (Human Rights Commission) and Planned Parenthood have made a decision to endorse Hillary Clinton.
Sanders wins Democratic caucus-goers “over Clinton on the economy by 22 points, and 67% said they thought he would do more to help the middle class, as opposed to 30% who felt that way about Clinton”.
By putting Sullivan in front of the camera-and on a conference call with reporters Thursday afternoon to discuss the video-the campaign frees Clinton from mounting this attack herself and coming across as excessively critical of her popular opponent.
The Economist/YouGov poll was conducted following the most recent Democratic debate, which the Democratic National Committee chose to hold on a night when many Americans were tuned into an NFL playoff game or otherwise preoccupied. Clinton has seemingly proven to be the party establishment choice, earning 458 points – FiveThirtyEight’s scale awards 10 points for governors, 5 points for US senators and 1 point for USA representatives – to Sanders’ 2 points.
Clinton told Blitzer she didn’t understand Sanders’ criticism.
He and other Democratic Party figures, including former Party chairman and Virginia senator Timothy Kaine, are now rallying support for Clinton in Iowa.
Time adds that Sanders has proposed a healthcare plan that would replace the current Affordable Care Act.
“I believe that we can wage an election on what is achievable, what is smart and what is workable”, she said. Make them rethink that proposition. “And so I’ll let your viewers make their own judgment”, she said.
In the video released by her campaign, Clinton’s top foreign policy adviser, Jake Sullivan, explains that Clinton disagrees with Sanders when it comes to ISIS and Iran.

Another 65.8% said they do not plan to see the newly released movie critical of Clinton’s role in the attack on the USA embassy in Libya, titled 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.
