DES MOINES, Iowa The Sanders campaign announced Sunday, one day before the Iowa caucuses, that it raised $20 million in January with an average contribution of just $27. “However, absent agreement on the details, we will give our campaigns the space to focus on the important work of engaging caucus goers in Iowa”. In an early Democratic presidential debate, he declared that the American people were “sick and tired” of hearing about it.
A surge in support for Mr Sanders at this stage could seriously undermine Mrs. Clinton’s aspirations for success, and release yet more funding and support for a more liberal Democratic vision.
Iowa Republican caucus-goers are deeply unhappy with how the federal government is working, and half wanted a political outsider as the party’s nominee for president, according to entrance poll interviews of those arriving at caucus sites.
That is why, though most of our media missed the story, Bernie Sanders was not in Davenport or Dubuque, Dover or Durham on Tuesday.
Monday’s Iowa caucuses will offer the first hard evidence of whether the outsider candidates can turn the energy around their campaigns into votes. “One of the reasons that I’ll win and, I think, none of the other guys will win is because I’m going to get states that they’ll never get”, he told CBS’ “Face the Nation”, citing Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Florida, along with strong hopes for NY and Virginia. And while Clinton still nearly certainly winds up on top, every week that she is contesting primaries and caucuses is another week when she will be pressed to make promises to Democratic voters and groups.
“That ain’t the real world we’re living in!” she said. “What is wrong with us?”
Rubio shot back, telling CNN that as voters learn more about Cruz’s record, they will understand that “he’s always looking to take whatever position it takes to win votes or raise money”.
Republicans are already looking to paint her anger as disingenuous posturing.
Bill Clinton did not mention principal rival Sen. It’s a sensitive point for Obama partisans since the President’s victory over Clinton for the 2008 Democratic nomination was launched in Iowa, an overwhelmingly white state. “Can you imagine how you would feel if we come up just short in Iowa?” She told me that surprised her, and that she has learned some lessons. “Everything I’m talking about I really believe in”.
