Appearing on ABC’s Good Morning America, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that she expects to sidestep the pitfalls that doomed her 2008 run for the Democratic nomination because she’s a better candidate this go-around.

The Times said it picked Clinton over her top rival, Vermont Sen.
He had brought income inequality and the “lingering pain” of the middle class to center stage and pushed Mrs. Clinton a bit more to the left than she might have gone on economic issues.
Sanders famously said in the first Democratic debate that he was exhausted of hearing about Clinton’s “damn emails”, brushing aside one of the biggest issues Republicans have raised to attack Clinton during the 2016 presidential cycle. She makes a point of calling on young women at town hall events and takes countless “selfies” with them.
The poll of likely 602 Republican and 602 likely Democratic caucus-goers was taken from Tuesday to Friday. This will be the first time she has ever caucused and is planning on doing it with six other friends who are also Sanders supporters. Meanwhile, Sanders’ precinct captains are being told to beef up on their O’Malley knowledge so they can entice his fans over to their side and to offer them delegates for the county convention as inducement. “I think the younger voters aren’t so willing to have wool pulled over their eyes this time”. Bernie Sanders will turn into actual votes.
Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta responded that there is “nothing worse than a debate about debates” and said the Sanders campaign’s demands had been met.
As for how they chose Clinton, the editorial board writes that Sanders’ ideas are interesting but that the Senator just doesn’t have a “realistic” plan about making them real policy. “I think she is smart, focused, understands the issues better than anyone else, and is experienced”.
Unlike Clinton’s endorsement, Kasich’s wasn’t exactly praiseworthy, noting the GOP underdog “is no moderate”, and cited his battles with public-sector unions, support for limiting abortion rights and opposition to same-sex marriage.
Johnson and his 15-year-old daughter Abby made the trek from San Clemente, Calif., to see Hillary speak in a more personal environment.
“I feel like we’ve had men looking at government for so long, a new perspective is exactly what is needed to get a more equal society”, Lewis said. In just two hours, months of work will be boiled down to Democratic meetings or caucuses all over the state to decide who leaves Iowa with a win.

Mr. Sanders may or may not blaze a path to the White House but in winning even as much support as he has so far, he has tilted the political firmament in this election towards a more humane, less bigoted idiom, and that is welcome.
