“I don’t think it’s appropriate that, you know, if Planned Parenthood endorses me or the Human Rights Campaign endorses me, you know, they’re thrown out of the progressive wing and put into the establishment”, said Clinton.

But while some supporters had hoped Clinton would not invest so heavily in New Hampshire, her persistence speaks to “who Hillary Clinton is”, said Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri. “He gets up really early to send it to me, so you know, there it is, in my inbox at 5 a.m”. Clinton and Sanders are scheduled to debate one last time before the New Hampshire primary this Thursday. New Hampshire kept Hillary Clinton alive politically in 2008 by giving her a victory after she had run third, behind Obama and John Edwards, in Iowa. According to entrance polls, Sanders received 84 percent of the vote from those 17 to 29 years old, as against 14 percent for Clinton.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign on Thursday afternoon announced it raised $15 million in the month of January, significantly lagging behind the insurgent Bernie Sanders’ $20-million fundraising haul over the same period. Overall, both candidates did well, though I give the edge to Sanders (more on why in a moment).
Clinton arrived in New Hampshire after her slender victory in Iowa as the underdog to the senator from Vermont in next Tuesday’s primary. If there is a recommendation, Sanders won’t have to do anything more; Clinton’s race and career will effectively be over.
New Hampshire Democrat Terry Shumaker, one of the Clintons’ most loyal advisers here, was in the media area at Clinton’s event in Derry on Wednesday recalling how quickly fortunes can change.
“I do not accept the belief that the United States of America can’t do that”, Sanders said of his plan for universal health care and of his efforts to take on “the rip-offs of the pharmaceutical industry”. “I don’t agree with Sen”.
“My spirituality is that we are all in this together”, Sanders added. “We are going to win some states, we are going to lose some states”, Sanders told reporters on Tuesday. Sanders said his campaign was still reviewing the results and did not concede. She said under Sanders’s criteria numerous US Democratic high officials would be considered non-liberal and non-progressive. She said a “wider group” needs to be targeted, including the shadow banking sector and insurance and pharmaceutical companies. “It’s Senator Sanders and myself in the arena”, she said.
The rivals have been swapping increasingly explicit attacks over who best represents the political soul of their party after finishing nearly neck-and-neck in Iowa and moving to New Hampshire, where the Vermont senator enjoys a big lead.
Listen for Clinton’s heavy emphasis on Obama’s health law, which she says she wants to build on while Sanders would switch to a government-paid health system. She also made a reference to U.S. Sen.
She said military force must always be a last resort. “And so I’ve had to be in public dealing with some very hard issues and personal issues, political, public issues”, she said, before citing a treatment of the prodigal son parable by Dutch Catholic priest Henri Nouwen.
The candidates meet again for MSNBC’s debate from the University of New Hampshire. “We will continue to push for a debate in New York City”.
The campaign has a dozen offices in the states and thousands of volunteers.
“It basically is practice the discipline of gratitude”, she said, explaining that limitations necessitate? reaching out to more people, that critics should be heard.
Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders traded barbs Wednesday night over who best embodies progressive values.

Clinton’s camp has warmed to the idea of additional debates, given her performance in the four debates already staged and Sanders’ lead in the New Hampshire polls.
